As the kids say, sweeeeeet. I want one.
When I asked a friend about prayer, he pointed me to Newman’s prayers. I have prayed them and am continually edified.
His prayers for Good Friday would not necessarily be pleasing to the ecumenical types, but I found them glorious. I put one to memory.
This is great of Baronius to print them in a prayer book version. The Ignatius edition was more like a reading book with a ribbon.
I know two priests that will enjoy this as a Christmas gift! Thanks, Fr. Z for the idea.
I used to keep this with me almost everywhere I went. I had the version that had his poems, as well as prayers and devotions of another Englishman, though I forget now who it was. I gave the book away some time ago, but the devotions during Holy Mass are stunning.
Is this similar to Prayers, Verses, and Devotions – John Henry Newman, by Ignatius Press?
I had to go and check the title of a similar book that I use regularly at Mass. (before Mass, after Mass and during the sermons – The acoustics are impossible in my Church.) What I have is “The Heart of Newman”, a synthesis arranged by Erich Przywara, SJ. It was first published by Sheed & Ward in 1930, but the edition I have is from 1963. I have no idea about its current availability.
Newman writes beautifully, and his analysis of the human condition is as appropriate now as when he was writing. My little book has paragraph sized extracts from many of his his works. I find these extracts perfect for meditation.
Bruce:
This book is just a part of the one put out by Ignatius.
Mark R: Thanks for that clarification, as I purchased the book Bruce speaks of many years ago from Ignatius press, and have enjoyed it immensely through the years as a devotional. It is hard to beat Newman for sacred eloquence. The Poem of Gerontius has almost no equal, I think, as a teaching of purgatory.
This book looks wonderful. I will get it for my confessor who just published a little devotional himself using Newman’s writings called:
Take Five: Meditations with John Henry Newman.
My confessor, Fr. Juan Velez wrote it with Mike Aquilina.
Baronius Press does a super job with their leather bindings! Truly exciting for a book lover. I hope someday that Baronius comes out with a leather bound edition of the Jerusalem Bible. . . . I know, I know. . . . There’s a lot involved. But I can dream.
Cardinal Newman, Pray for us.
I would also point out a womderful little volume, “Blessed be God” by Preserving Christian Publications. I would strongly suggest checking it out.BTW Love Baronius Press

Luke, I’m looking forward to their edition of the Knox Bible. It’s a shame that what will probably remain the last one-man translation went out of print so quickly.
Emilio III: Yes, the Ronald Know translation is a joy to read also. Still, I prefer the Jerusalem Bible. The readers edition that’s available neglects the qualities of a good book too much to interest me. The original Jerusalem Bible was well-bound in all of its formats. I have the leather and the hardcover. And then the paperback New Testament. And. . . well. . . a couple of others as well. A solid rendering of the Psalms in English is very difficult to find, however.
Good books are, in themselves, a joy to be appreciated, to be sure.
