A beautifully printed, Bible paper volume of Newman's most

profound devotional writings. His meditations on the Litany

of Loreto for the month of May, and on the Stations of the

Cross are already recognized as classics of Catholic spirituality.

And in his meditations on Christian doctrine Newman

shows that the source of true piety is sound teaching. His

verses on various occasions are profoundly inspiring as are

the spiritual hymns and canticles which distill the wisdom of

the incomparable Newman.

In addition, also included are all the beautiful and inspiring

devotions of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes, translated by

Newman himself and used by him as the primary source of

his own spiritual life.

Louis Bouyer, one of the greatest Newman scholars who

wrote the Foreword for this work, says of these: "Newman

quite believed that in these exercises of Andrewes he had discovered

that form of prayer which springs directly from the

word of God and leads to a life fully lived in Christ. Not only

as a priest, but later on as a cardinal of the Roman church,

he would keep the Preces privatae on his kneeler for his daily

preparation and thanksgiving before and after Mass and for

his most personal meditations."

POINTS OF INTEREST

mentor and most important spiritual teacher,

and he travelled to England in 2010 to officially

Beatify Newman
