Every week, you ask the same thing in the comments. Pray for my children. Pray for my grandchildren.

My name is Martin Caldwell. For longer than I care to admit, I have been looking into old Catholic stories and asking what was really written, what was added later, and what the people involved actually said.

Under my videos, the same words keep coming back. A son who stopped going to Mass. A daughter and her children who no longer practice the faith. A grandson who was never baptized. You ask strangers to pray with you, and they do.

You are not the first to carry this. Saints carried it too. Some prayed for years. Some did not live to see the answer. Their stories are in their own letters and diaries, and in the words of the children they prayed for.

So I gathered them in one book, checked against the sources, with the prayers they used, in print large enough to read without strain. Keep these prayers close to your heart, and close at hand.

Martin Caldwell is the narrator and presenter of the video channel where this book began. His likeness is a digital portrait. The research, sources and prayers in this book are real and named.

Free chapter: Saint Monica

Read the St. Monica chapter free

For years, Monica prayed for a son who had walked away. A bishop told her, "it is not possible that the son of these tears should perish." We know her story because that son wrote it down himself, in his Confessions.

The free chapter tells it from that record, gives you a traditional prayer to St. Monica from an 1885 prayer book with its imprimatur, and includes a large-print prayer card to print.

No email, no sign-up. Just download it.
