Act of Consecration to the
Most Holy Heart of Mary
O HEART of Mary, ever Virgin! O heart the holiest, the purest, the most perfect, that the Almighty hath formed in any creature; O heart, full of all grace, and sweetness, throne of love and mercy, image of the adorable Heart of Jesus, heart that didst love God more than all the seraphim, that didst procure more glory to the most holy Trinity than all the saints together, that didst endure for love of us the bitter dolors at the foot of the cross, and dost so justly merit the reverence, love, and gratitude of all mankind, I give thee thanks for all the benefits which thou hast obtained for me from the divine Mercy; I unite myself to all the souls that find their joy and consolation in loving and honoring thee. O heart most amiable, the delight and admiration of the angels and the saints, henceforth thou shalt be to me, next to the Heart of Jesus, the object of my tenderest devotion, my refuge in affliction, my consolation in sorrow, my place of retreat from the enemies of my salvation, and, at the hour of my death, the surest anchor of my hope. Amen.

Prayer to the Infant Jesus
Before an Image of
St. Anthony of Padua

O Jesus, my Saviour! Who didst vouchsafe to appear to St. Anthony in the form of an infant, I implore Thee, through the love Thou didst bear to this saint when he dwelt on earth, and which Thou now bearest to him in heaven, graciously hear my prayer, and assist me in my necessities. Who livest and resignest, world without end. Amen.

Imprimatur, 1913. Separated into 2 parts.

From the introduction, "While the Blessed Sacrament Book is adapted to serve as a book of devotions for the faithful in general, it is designed as a Vade Mecum for daily attendants at Mass, for frequent communicants, and above all for the members of our various Eucharistic associations while engaged in performing the Holy Hour or the Hour of Adoration."

Readers will find the book split into two parts with the first devoted to general daily prayers and the second devoted to prayers for the saints and prayers of indulgence. Over the span of 1227 pages, this prayer book offers a wide variety of prayers, practically guaranteeing a prayer for nearly every occasion possible.

Available in packs of 10 or packs of 100 cards. Plain paper.

Consecration of a Child to the Sacred Heart
O Most Sacred and Adorable Heart of Jesus, we consecrate to Thee this Child [here name the child], his [or her] soul with all its faculties, his heart with all its affections, his body with its senses, now and for all the days of his life. O most merciful Heart of Jesus! grant that this child may never sully by mortal sin the white robe of his baptismal innocence. O most loving Heart of Jesus, preserve this child in Thy divine fear and love all the days of his life, protect him at the hour of his death, and grant him the grace to see his God “face to face” in the joys of paradise. Amen.

Sanctify, O Sacred Heart, the hearts of Thy priests, that, by the merits of Thy sacred humanity, they may become living images of Thee, children of Mary, and full of the fire of the Holy Ghost, that they may guard Thy house, and defend Thy glory, and that through their ministry the face of the earth may be renewed, and they may save those souls which have cost Thee all Thy blood. Amen.

Thoughts of Many Hearts Together with Reflections on the Life and Virtues of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus Besides Mass and Novena Prayers in Honor of the Little Flower and Communion Devotions.
    Our habitual thoughts make us what we are. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Sooner or later a man’s habitual thoughts come out in his life and character. What his thoughts are determines what he will become.
    The sayings of saints, and of wise and holy men and women, if read day by day, with prayerful reflection, will cheer us and sustain us in the conflicts with the enemies of our salvation, will help us to do what is right, to press onward and upward, valiantly and persistently toward the goal of perfection.

Reflections on Purgatory

By Rev. F.X. Lasance.

A Complete Prayer-book

Including Special Prayers and Devotions in Behalf of the Poor Souls in Purgatory

Imprimatur, 1922, 442 page book.
Originally printed by Benziger Brothers.

A Rare and Unusual Book!

    It is hoped that this book will cultivate a special devotion to the holy souls in Purgatory. This devotion, while it solaces the Holy Souls, in whose behalf it is directly exercised, is eminently pleasing to God, and beneficial to ourselves. It is hoped that the “Reflections” contained in the first part of this little book will stimulate the pious reader to make frequent use of the prayers and devotions which are found in the second part for the solace of the suffering souls in Purgatory.

Brief Visits to the Blessed Sacrament, together with Prayers for Mass and Holy Communion, Litanies and Devotions for Various Occasions by Fr. Lasance.

Impr 1931, 132 page book.

Among his many writings, Lasance offers up a small book of various devotions, prayers, and litanies for all occasions. Included in this book are footnotes which act as a follow up to previous passages to further emphasize specific phrases.

Along with illustrations, Lasance touches on certain prayer passages and indulges his readers on further reflections on their meanings. For example, from his Reflections on the Second Petition of the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy Kingdom Come”, Lasance says, “Consider that in this the second petition of the “Our Father” we pray for the kingdom of God. Now, we find in Holy Writ that the kingdom of God is understood in three different ways. First, of the eternal kingdom of God. . .” With his teachings, Lasance brings traditional prayers into a new light.

Scriptural Maxims and Spiritual Reading for Every Day in the Year. Meditations and Considerations for the Monthly Recollection and the Annual Retreat. Together with A Prayer-Book for All Ordinary Needs.

Edited by Rev. F. X. Lasance.

The present work seeks to cultivate in souls the spirit of prayer, and to lead them to union with God; it wishes to be helpful to all who, by means of meditation and prayer, are intent upon walking with God in the way of righteousness and perfection; it is designed especially to be of service to devout souls. It is a book of mental and vocal prayer intended for men and women who take a serious view of life; who are convinced that real and enduring happiness is found in holiness; whose love for Our Lord Jesus Christ is such that they desire to do more than merely to refrain from displeasing Him whose aim is to reproduce in themselves the virtues of our divine Master and Model.
