The prayers in this small book are a treasure from Saints of the 1200\'s through the 20th Century. There is an index in the back of the book to help locate what you want to pray. There are only two companies printing these books and this one has the \"original\" term, from MLOR at Hickory Corners, MI
Included are the 15 prayers of Saint Bridget, various indulgences that are listed with the prayers, and small bits of history from the centuries of origin.
How it wound up originating in MI is the following:
In the early 1970’s a gentleman in southwest Michigan, Harry Faulhaber, wanted a spiritual gift to leave with people when making home visits on behalf of his parish. With his wife Lillian and a friend in San Damiano, Italy, they compiled their favorite prayers, took them to a local printer and had 1,000 copies made.
Eventually all the books were given away and they made the decision to print more. They realized that they would have to charge a small fee for the book to offset the printing and shipping costs. To keep the cost as low as possible, Harry asked at the post office, “What’s the cheapest way to ship this?” “Book rate (media mail),” replied the postmaster, “but in order to be considered a book, it must have at least 72 pages.” They opened the Pieta book and it had exactly 72 pages! That was over 40 years ago and we now have over 9 million books in print in all parts of the world, and in various languages.
One book weighs just 3 ounces, so it can be sent with $1.32 postage in an envelope.
I you order more than one, you must use \'s postage based on zip code. We cannot win a fight with USPS.
