"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 manual of prayers has been used by bishops, seminary professors, missionaries, and laity from all walks of life to deepen their relationship with God. Within the book, you will find litanies, written to be prayed in two voices alternating like a heartbeat. You will find passages from scripture, rearranged into poetry that can make your heart sing.

Prayers include:

- Ave Joseph:
singing praise of Joseph's humanity, glorified by contact with the Incarnation: "...blessed is your chest where the son of God so sweetly slept" (p.8)

- Ave Maria, Filia Dei Patris:
contemplating Mary in the embrace of the Trinity: "...daughter of the Father, mother of the Son, and spouse of the Holy Spirit." (p.7)

- Eudist Grace before Meals:
uniting our meals to those shared by Jesus during His life, asking that "...every bite be an act of praise and worship to our Heavenly Father" (p.15)

"John Eudes: an outstanding man. The sanctity of his life gave a shining example of holiness, not only in his lasting service to humanity but in his illustrious zeal for the salvation of souls." - Pope St. Pius X

Born during France's "Golden Age of Saints" in the 17th century, he took part in a wave of new evangelization in France alongside Sts. Francis de Sales, Vincent de Paul, Margaret Mary Alacoque, and many others.

He founded lasting institutions like The Congregation of Jesus and Mary (the Eudists) to train priests in seminaries and continue his work of evangelization; the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd (the Good Shepherd Sisters) to care for repentant prostitutes and other victims of human trafficking); and he left his mark on many other orders like the Little Sisters of the Poor, and Mother Antonia Brenner's Eudist Servants of the 11th Hour.
