Forty Hours.
One Guide.
In these meditations before the Blessed Sacrament, Mother Mary Loyola gently teaches us how to speak with Our Lord as with a friend. She supplies no preformulated prayers, but instead helps us to bring before Him the thoughts and cares, joys and sorrows, failures and longings of everyday life.
Coram Sanctissimo—Before the Most Holy—is an invitation to learn what it is to be at home in His Presence: to know Him in the Tabernacle as our confidant and closest Friend, and there to put down the deep roots of a spiritual life nourished by continual friendship with Him.
From Catholic World, May 1901: "There is nothing exaggerated, artificial, or impossible in the pages before us; they contain merely a collection of musings and devotional monologues written with a directness and spontaneity that will appeal strongly to many who can get little profit out of less natural and more fervent writing."
From The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, January 1902:"...Mother M. Loyola is as much at home when depicting the trials, the aspirations, and the consolations of adults as in leading little children along the road of true penance. Each visit seizes, generally with thrilling vivacity, one idea; the subject is weighed in the presence of our Lord, the conclusions are always practical."

A beautiful meditation book
I bought this book on a whim a few years ago, and I still use it frequently for daily prayer. Some of the meditations -- like Hereafter -- are ones I will come back to for the rest of my life. Pray for us, Mother Mary Loyola.

Adoration will never be the same for you!
I came across this book by accident, or it could have been an accidental brush with the Holy Spirit, either way, this is by far the most profound book that I have found. I have cried every time I use it, and so have others that have read from it. I ordered several for our parish reading room and 3 more for personal friends that have read from mine. You will not be disappointed and it will start you on a journey of trying to read everything that Mother Mary Loyola wrote...I guarantee it!

Beautiful meditations for Holy Hour or anytime
This book is packed with startlingly beautiful meditations. Perfect for Holy Hour or any quiet time with the Lord in prayer. I would love to have it in a slightly smaller size but this is only a suggestion based on personal preference. It is wonderful as is, too!
