Eli’s Quiet Friend
by Allison Regina Gliot, FSP
Adults and children are so accustomed to constant noise that we can fail to recognize the value of silence. For Eli, who is highly sensitive to noise, silence is valued but elusive amidst the sounds of modern life.
Eli’s Quiet Friend allows children to contrast the noise of daily living with the quiet peace found in God’s presence. It’s a valuable resource in introducing young children to the peace of Christ found in the Blessed Sacrament.

Both contemporary and timeless, An Adoration Treasury for Young Catholics is a fantastic resource for children, parents, and teachers.
Comprehensive, varied, and easily digestible, it is an ideal resource for children’s visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Lectio divina, the Rosary, litanies, stories of the saints – all that and more. Its compact size and hard cover make it ideal for practical use and re-use!

Stories of the Eucharist is a great introduction to various saints and miracles presented in a fashion that spurs discussion and reflection. It’s a great tool for families, small groups, or even classrooms.
Inside, you’ll find saints and stories that are both familiar and obscure. Tales of miracles create a sense of awe and wonder at God’s majesty and the treasure that is the Holy Eucharist.
One Hour for My Priest: A Prayer Companion
by Tina Jost
So often, we’re reminded to pray for our priests. Many nights, I’ll pray for their welfare generally and by name. But One Hour of My Priest gives structure and purpose to that prayer, and I’m grateful for its intentionality.
I’ve used the book as intended during Adoration and had more than enough time to complete one of the options for prayer that it presents. It also offers the added benefits of building empathy and gratitude for the priests of our parish.
Makes a great resource for Adoration chapels but also for private prayer. The formatting/presentation is lackluster, but the content is valuable.
St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration
by Susan Tassone
The St. Faustina Prayer Book for Adoration is perfect for reading before the Blessed Sacrament. Its compact size makes it easy to stuff in a purse or bag, and the content provides a wide variety of prayers suitable for different tastes and moods.
The glossary makes the book accessible to those new to the faith. While it will especially appeal to those devoted to Divine Mercy, I recommended for any Catholic’s personal prayer at Adoration or anyplace.
Beautiful Eucharist
by Matthew Kelly
Beautiful Eucharist is a short, easy-to-read book of personal essays great for increasing your appreciation of the Eucharist.

It’s format allows for reading an essay or two as time allows and then reflection on the influence of our Eucharistic Lord in your own life.
Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Book
by Marie Paul Curley, FSP
The Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Book is a beautiful, compact hardcover with a satiny ribbon bookmark that includes numerous Catholic prayers, hymns, intercessory petitions, and Scripture to help guide your time in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
There are ten holy hour guides to choose from that provide Scripture, reflections, and prayers to fill your Holy Hour.
For those new to Adoration or unfamiliar with the Holy Eucharist, there is explanation as well as prayers appropriate for Mass and Benediction.
It is a thorough guide that serves as a companion throughout a life of faith and devotion.
Essential Eucharistic Adoration Prayers
by Marie Paul Curley, FSP
Essential Eucharistic Adoration Prayers is a smaller, softcover companion that features the prayers of the Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Book above. This smaller book is ideal for those comfortable and familiar with Adoration seeking only a prayer book suitable for Adoration or any time.
This is the kind of prayer book that becomes a beloved source of strength and inspiration, worn at the edges after years of use.
Pocket Guide to Adoration
by Fr. Josh Johnson
Pocket Guide to Adoration is a slim, compact Adoration companion (but would probably only fit your pocket if you shop at the big and tall store and wear cargo pants) with a durable leatherette cover and bookmark ribbon.
It offers four primary ways of praying during Adoration: with Sacred Scriptures, the Rosary, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Lives of the Saints. There are segments for prayer, meditation, contemplation, and resolution.
The Ave Guide to Eucharistic Adoration
The Ave Guide to Eucharistic Adoration is a hardcover guide that includes four approaches to Adoration. The four focuses are Penance, Word, Sacrifice, and Service. The reader can mix and match the various elements within those themes: Prayers and Devotions, Sacred Writings and Sacred Readings, Saints and Faithful Disciples, and Doctrines and Teachings.
I purchased a set of ribbon bookmarks to help me navigate the mix-and-match options, but I confess I still find the options confusing. Regardless of how you make your way through the book, there are many profound Scriptures, readings, and prayers along with thoughtful prompts for self-reflection and meditation.
