This is such a beautiful book that has many prayers, meditations, and guides on how to pray with Our Lord. I’ve used this book every time I’m in front of Our Lord in adoration and never get tired of it. I enter more deeply into meditations because of this book. It has been a beautiful aid in my prayer life. Get this book if you feel lost in adoration or would like to start going and “watching” with Our Lord at least an hour.

This prayerbook is amazing. It is a rich treasure trove of novenas, ejaculations, litanies, hymns, and prayers for morning, evening, and the day in between. I use Father Lasance's New Roman Missal as my go-to every Sunday for the Latin Mass, and the Blessed Sacrament Prayerbook is fast becoming my go-to for my daily and weekly prayer routine. I highly recommend it.

I was happy to find this book of Eucharistic prayers. I was impressed with the quality of the book materials.

I should open by saying, you can’t go wrong with Fr Lasance material. This is no exception and is certainly the best prayerbook I own, and I own a literal collection. The size is great for carrying. The contents are more than extensive. The title is somewhat of a misnomer, which prevented me from buying this book sooner. Its contents not only offer very structured and diverse adoration material, but prayers that cover every aspect of life.
I am particularly devoted to the Sacred Heart and this book has much devotional material on this subject as it interconnects with adoration of the eucharist. I particularly look for prayer books with the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart (“behold us prostrate before Thy altar”) from Pope Pius XI’s encyclical which this book has, among many others. It also has the Morning Offering of the Apostleship of Prayer, the Sub Tuum Praesidium, and the canon of the mass. It also includes some very rare material such as the Little Office of the Sacred Heart.
The book appears to be glue bound rather than sewn, but is sturdy rather than shoddy. Im a “spine cracker” with books, but this one holds up to being open quite wide without the text block ungluing from the cover like many modern works. The gilding on the pages and especially front cover is luminous and attractively done. It only has one ribbon, so I added a set of insert ribbons to easily mark my favorite devotions in the book.
I would recommend this book to any and every Catholic and wish every Catholic could have a copy. Will definitely be buying more in the future as gifts.

A thorough resource for those who wish a piece of the contemplative life. The prayers listed also aid in devotion to the Mass and the Eucharist.

I wish I could give this beautiful prayer book more than 5 stars. After hearing this book recommended by a very holy priest I purchased this for my husband for our first wedding anniversary. This book is a must have. The sheer quantity AND quality of the prayers within as well as the physical book itself is stunning. Every time I open it (my husband has graciously allowed me to share it with him!) I find it hard to put down. I know it will be treasured for many, many years to come. Thank you, Sisters, for making this beautiful collection of prayers available!

This prayer book was among the possessions of our Theology Professor. I copied the title and found it on line at the Sisters of Carmel. The Blessed Sacrament Prayer Book is a joy to read. I feel blessed to have it. It is a source of inspiration and comfort.

Wonderful prayer book. The prayers within are irreplaceable. Has prayers for everything and it's well ordered.
“I just wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service provided by your online shop and the very fine quality of scapular (the best I've seen) and Miraculous medal. I admire the wonderful work you are doing towards the restoration of Holy Church and Her glorious traditions.”
– D.M., Northern Ireland
“Out of all of the on-line religious goods stores I've found, the articles on your website are all quality without the kitsch. I received my order of religious jewelry super fast. Thank you. I’m so happy to have a place to go when I need a quality sacramental.”
– Andrew, Colorado, USA
“Every item is absolutely beautiful! I have not encountered any other service, either online or brick-and-mortar establishment, that offers items of the same exquisite quality as your sacramentals. The aesthetic beauty is not only pleasing to the eye but inspires devotion in the heart and a more ardent desire to please God. I will definitely be using your wonderful service for most of my devotional needs! Thanks again! God bless you, Sisters.”
– Antonia, New York, USA
“Excellence is the Sisters trademark! As always, a smooth easy means of purchase, coupled with prompt shipping . The Items I have purchased over the years are always of superb quality and workmanship. I could not be more pleased.”
- Francis T Walsh
“I have now purchased at least a dozen brown scapulars from the Sisters of Carmel and have always received items of the utmost quality that wear very well. Adding to my satisfaction is that the Sisters charge a standard USPS shipping rate for the items, i.e., they do not add to one’s cost by charging inflated “shipping and handling” charges. Furthermore, my order was shipped one business day after I placed my order. We are all called by God to serve within the confines of His graces to us. The Sisters of Carmel are models of that calling.”
- Ed Shimkus
“I have received my orders from you and again want to thank you for them. The Blessed Sacrament and Seven Dolors chaplets are beautiful and will be treasured by me for many years. As others have said, the pictures on the web site don’t do them justice. I also want to thank you for the books you carry. They are clearly selected with the goal of deepening faith. It is wonderful to find a place where I can go and know that I will receive quality, not only of merchandise, but of faith. Again, thank you for the work you do.”
– Mary, Minnesota, USA
“I just received my scapular and crucifix along with the Miraculous Medals. I am so very pleased with the quality of the items! Truly the BEST on-line selection of sacramentals. Thanks so much! I will be ordering from you again soon.”
– David, Ohio, USA
“Your website is like an oasis of good spiritual things! You do such magnificent work, the chaplets are amazing! The badges are like having good friends near, and your books are so nourishing to the soul. I feel so blessed to have found you. Thank you again, and you are in my prayers.”
– Laura, California, USA
“Unbelievable service – I received my order on Monday, exactly five days after placing it. Your customer service is outstanding. Everything was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The ceramic ornaments are lovely, and I can’t wait to add them to my Christmas tree this year. The exquisite suncatcher will be placed in my kitchen window where it will be appreciated every day. And as for the ‘In Paradisum’ CD, all I can say is it’s on continuous loop right now. I love early sacred choral music and have a collection of CD’s, but this one is stunningly beautiful and has become my new favorite.”
– Linda, North Carolina, USA
“I wanted to let you know that I received the Rosary that you created for us just a short while ago. Sisters, it has to be without exception the most beautiful Rosary I have ever held. It is exactly how I envisioned it and the size is perfect. You were also right about the beads; the color is exceptional! Thank you, thank you, thank you each and every Sister for doing such a perfect job and for putting up with us throughout this whole process. While rersearching this project, every time I looked elsewhere, I always seemed to be guided back to the Sisters of Carmel, and now I know why...PERFECTION!
– A Catholic Church, New York, USA
“I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional care you took in packing/shipping the books and other items in my order.... It’s the little extra touches like this that go a long way with the customer and lets them know how much you value their business.”
– R.C., New York, USA
“I received my sterling silver Pardon Crucifix yesterday. It was such a pleasure to receive it. Everything was packaged and presented with such care and finesse. The crucifix was crafted with such intricate and beautiful details that it does not do justice to look at it through the Internet. One has to order it to relish what a beautiful piece of art it is. Again, the manner you package the crucifix, the enclosures contained within, and the quality of craftmanship itself has totally exceeded my expectations.”
– K.W.C.
“I recently purchased a cord rosary from the Sisters of Carmel. I have to say the quality and craftsmanship was far beyond my expectations. I was so impressed I ordered two more rosaries as gifts. God bless the Sisters of Carmel and God bless your ministry! Your rosaries, in my opinion, are of the finest quality anywhere.”
- Chris
“When I asked my priest to bless my new scapular, it took his breath away by its handmade beauty. I told him it had been made with loving hands by the Sisters of Carmel. I felt the Holy Spirit say to give it to him. I did. He was overwhelmed. I ordered another one for myself and it arrived today. I love it. It is so beautiful. I will kiss it every day. I am eager to have it blessed tomorrow and wear it immediately. Thank you.”
– Anonymous
“I love to order any item from your site. Always such high quality and a joy for all that I give them to. Your care and blessings are felt from the Holy Spirit to us. Thank you and God bless you.”
- Julia
“Once again the best. I appreciate you quickly sending me the scapular. I could have gone locally to purchase one, but I truly appreciate your craftsmanship and customer service.”
- Linda
“This is the most beautiful rosary I have ever seen crafted. Combining high quality materials, skillful labor, and loving prayer, the Carmelite Sisters are hands down the best choice to go with when shopping for rosaries. Reasonably priced, quick delivery, and wonderful customer service, I will DEFINITELY be ordering all of my future rosary purchases from ”
