The Raccolta

This official collection (raccolta) of the Church's prayers and devotions was published in English in 1957. It includes a timely supplement of additional prayers for many urgent needs, all of which were composed under Pope Pius XII. Many of the prayers and devotions are followed by the Latin text. These 800 prayers touch practically every spiritual and physical need, and every personal and societal hope. They are the confidently suppliant voice of the Catholic Church.
