I wish someone reprinted these books with the same quality of craftsmanship as the originals. You can never go wrong with Fr. Lasance. I was fortunate to get a Young Man’s Guide from my grandfather; it was a confirmation gift from his sponsor!
Quite welcome, I bet you treasure that one !
Yes very much. Sadly my grandfather died last November and even though it’s been very hard without him, he never the less showed me how a Catholic man should live and how a Catholic man should die. Even though he was in pain he refused morphine and offered everything he could up to Jesus. He held his crucifix close to him, kissing Christ’s head, hands and feet and in the other hand he held his Rosary! I know if he was here today he would tell me to stop making him sound like a saint, but to me that’s exactly what he was. Sorry for rambling, I just really miss him.
Sorry to hear of your loss of him, and don’t apologize. It’s good to hear of those living in these times whose faith was so strong till the end. There are many stories of saints’ deaths much like you describe.Yes very much.

Baronius Press does this, but obviously they can only print so many books and so there are many, many good books they have not reprinted.
At first it’s confusing but once you get it it’s ok. First you have to figure out what week of the psalter we’re on (Week IV right now). Since it’s ordinary time you just pray the morning and evening prayer straight through in the morning and the evening. If it were advent, or lent you’d pray the psalms from the week we’re on and the readings and everything that follows the readings from the proper season that the Church is in. You just go through the four week cycle and you always begin at Week one on the following days, the first Sunday of Advent, Monday after the Baptism of the Lord, First Sunday of Lent, and Easter Sunday. On the Monday after Pentecost you go to the week indicated on the chart (page 15 in my book) depending on what year we’re in. I also recommend this book: amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Liturgy-Shirley-Sulliavn/dp/0899424848/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1316193193&sr=8-11 it helped me when I first started. Also, you could talk to your priest or deacon who can help you understand it as well. But like I said once you get it you’ll get it, one day you’ll have an “ah ha” moment and it’ll all become clear. Good luck!!
Oh, I hope so! Thank you, I will endeavor to follow what you have told me. That was kind of you to reply.
I really like one that I found at an FSSP parish bookstore… it’s called “Moments Divine” and contains miraculous stories about the Blessed Sacrament, and reflections/prayers.
