Illness can make even a faithful Catholic feel tired, afraid, dependent, and alone.

A Large-Print Catholic Comfort Book for the Sick was written for those hard days: the hospital days, the painful nights, the anxious waiting, the difficult diagnosis, the surgery, the weakness, and the quiet fear that often comes when the body no longer feels strong.

With a gentle Catholic voice, this book offers prayers, Scripture passages, saintly companionship, and sacramental guidance for readers who need comfort without false cheerfulness. It does not pretend that sickness is easy. It helps the reader turn honestly toward God in the middle of it.

Inside, readers will find:

• Daily prayers for the sick
• Prayers for pain, fear, surgery, diagnosis, chronic illness, and loss of independence
• Prayers for family members and caregivers
• Douay-Rheims Scripture passages with simple reflections
• Guidance on Anointing of the Sick, Confession, Holy Communion, and Spiritual Communion
• Saints who suffered illness and can be asked for intercession
• A Catholic hospital checklist
• A practical guide for family members
• Prayers for the very hard days, including fear of death and surrender to God

Written in large print and organized for easy use, this book can be read from beginning to end or opened wherever comfort is needed most.

It is a thoughtful gift for Catholic seniors, hospital patients, the homebound, those facing surgery, those living with chronic illness, and families caring for someone they love.

For the sick person who cannot find many words to pray, this book offers words that are honest, faithful, and close to the heart of the Church.
