Susan Tassone - St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration

Silence is necessary for a true sacramental life: it leads to adoration, to a personal encounter with the Living God. Before the Divine Majesty, we are at a loss for words. Who would dare speak up in the presence of the Almighty? For this reason, I am pleased to encourage the reading of this St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration. May St. Faustinas wisdom help us tame the dictatorship of noise through silencing our eyes and ears in order that for our hearts faith provides a supplement for the failure of the senses!

Cardinal Robert Sarah Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Rome

This stunning and powerful book can help you better appreciate and follow the stepping stones to a deeper adoration St. Faustina discovered and developed in her own life. Here are ways to lift you to a new supernatural level, to a more personal and intimate relationship with Our Lord.

Perhaps no other devotional practice offers greater opportunity for transformation than Eucharistic Adoration. In her latest book, best-selling author Susan Tassone offers us the wisdom, insight, and inspiration of St. Faustina Kowalska as a means to help us mine the treasury of grace that awaits us before the Sacred Species. Replete with beautiful quotations, practical advice and counsel, and the saints own prayers and meditations, this prayer book may well become a standard for Eucharistic adorers everywhere.

Whether youre just beginning adoration as a discipline or have practiced it for years, through her spirit-filled reflections Susan offers St. Faustina as a companion to accompany and guide you.

St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration is a rich spiritual guide for those who value quiet time before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. This compendium by Susan Tassone will be of great value especially to the iGen culture since many of those born after 1995 are only now discovering how Eucharistic Adoration sets them on a new path for their life. Many seminarians today tell me that their vocational call was first heard during their time spent before the Lord in adoration.

Father Mark A. Latcovich, Ph.D. President-Rector of Borromeo and Saint Mary Seminaries Diocese of Cleveland

St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration does a breathtaking job of presenting the words and actions of a saint so well-known and admired for her prayer life and devotion to Our Lord. Heres how to focus your own mind and heart on Him as you open your soul to His Divine Mercy.

Brother Donald Thielsen, O.F.M. Conv. National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown

I am absolutely convinced that today we must turn to Eucharistic Adoration to be strengthened for the battles of our day. Susan Tassone gives us prayers, insights, gazes, and so much more to help us live Eucharistic-centered lives. Ours is an age of noise. Unless we return to silence in our lives, we will not be able to withstand the chaos of the world. It gave me great joy to find Susans section on the graces of silence included in this book.

Most Reverend James D. Conley Bishop of Lincoln
