"Among spiritual giants towers the figure of St. John Eudes." - Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
In December 2016, Pope Francis accelerated a process to proclaim St. John Eudes a Doctor of the Church. In a few years he may be christened "Doctor Cordis" (the Doctor of the Heart), using the title given him by Pope St. Pius X: "the Father, Doctor, and Apostle of Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus & Mary."
This series is an introduction to his spirituality, widely available in English for virtually the first time.
This little volume gives Scriptural meditations on the traditional Rosary mysteries, but it doesn't stop there. St. John Eudes offers us a unique set of Rosary meditations to honor the Liturgical seasons of the year, as well as other sets prayers to be said with a 34-bead chaplet.
