Confraternity of the Precious Blood # 1

MyDailyBreadConfraternityPreciousBlood.jpgI've recently come across some small, inexpensive books (abt. $8 each), put out by the Confraternity of the Precious Blood.

I've purchased the first three books listed below. These are rather small in size. They're made to be read a few pages at a time, no more than that. They give you a little lesson, then something to think about, then a prayer.

  • My Daily Bread by Anthony Paone SJ
  • My Meditation on the Gospel by John Sullivan
  • My Way of Life by The Confraternity of the Precious Blood
  • My Imitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis
  • Liturgy & Laity by Peter Chiara
  • My Daily Life by Anthony Paone SJ
  • My Meditations on St. Paul by James Sullivan
  • My Daily Psalm Book by Fr. Peter Frey (editor)

    I have read through "My Daily Life" 3 times since 1999 and have learned more about myself and those with whom I interact on a daily basis than in any other book I have ever read. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who wishes to improve himself/herself and learn about the intricasies of human nature. Father Paone has a grasp on this subject far beyond any other author I have ever had the plesure to read and study.

    I have owned a copy of My Daily Bread since the 1980's (it was originally published in 1954). I have turned back to it again and again in the intervening years. It walks with the reader through the three paths of contemplation: purification, imitation (commonly known as the illuminative way), and union. Start reading this book at the beginning of Lent.
