Excerpt from St. John's Manual: A Guide to the Public Worship and Services of the Catholic Church, and a Collection of Devotions for the Private Use of the Faithful

Sr. Joan's manual is, it is hoped, the most complete and accurate preyer-book ever offered to the Catholic cemmunity in the United States. Many of the pres ent books of devotion being reprints of European works, are far from conforming to the Roman office books as authorized for use in this country, and are devoid of such explanations as to enable the uninstructed to follow our service. The St. J ohn's Manual conforms strictly t0/ the rules of the Holy See in this regard. It gives ample prayers for morning and evening, the Ordinary of the Mess, with full and comprehensive explanations never before introduced, and the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels for all the Sundays and holidays of the year a variety of devotions for Mass; ample ih struction and prayers for the Sacraments of Baptism, Penance, the Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Extreme Unction, and Matrimony, and the order of administer ing each, the order of the Visitation of the Sick, Buri al of the Dead, and the Itinerary.
