INSTRUCTION. *Tpi OLY Mass is the perpetual sacrifice of the New rM--{, Law, instituted by Christ Himself, at the Last Supper, in which sacrifice our divine Saviour offers Himself up, by the hands of the priest, to His heavenly Father in an unbloody manner under the species of bread and wine, as He offered Himself in a bloody manner on the cross. Holy Mass was instituted by Christ Himself, when, at the Last Supper, lie took bread, blessed it and gave to His apostles, saying, "Take ye and eat: This is My body." In like manner He took the chalice also, saying, "This is My blood of the New Testament, which shall be shed for many unto the remission of sins" (Matt. xxvi. 26; 1 Cor. xi. 25).

Outside the mire of our day's confusion concerning the relation between the sexes stands the beauty of the Christian conception of manhood and womanhood. As Catholics, we can combat the multifaceted plague, especially represented by the spread of anti-Christian gender ideology, only when we ourselves live up to our dignity as men and women: as created in the image and likeness of God. A most important frontier of that battle is in family life, beginning with its preparation. The Catholic Girl's Guide is the perfect companion for teenage and young adult women determined to blossom in Catholic integrity and piety. The inspiring exhortations and instructions along with the edifying prayers contained in this guide are designed to assist the formation of girls in order to assist in deciding upon their calling. Common and essential to the married, unmarried and religious state is walking the path of virtue and sanctity. A perfect gift for loved ones and especially for young families, the practical counsel in The Catholic Girl's Guide is vital for forming the next generation of women ready to give witness to the beauty and nobility Catholic virtue.

The members of the Little Flowers Girls Clubs are sure to recognize the Maiden's Wreath of Virtues in this classic, on which their flower badges were based. Father Lasance explores in depth the virtues of the Catholic Girl, as personified by various flowers, with particular attention to that most precious possession: the lily of purity. However, this book goes far beyond simple lessons in virtue; it is truly a manual for the Catholic young lady from the middle years up to-and including-married life. Like its companion volume, "The Young Man's Guide," the original book contained hundreds of pages of prayers, devotions, litanies and even a Latin Missal. Select prayers from this section have been placed at the end of each chapter and the rest have been omitted in order to make this valuable book available in a more portable and affordable format for today's Catholic girl. Due to this fact, this volume is considered abridged; however, all material contained in this edition is unchanged based on the original 1906 edition by Benziger Brothers. Beautifully illustrated with 17th century botanical engravings and Victorian art, this book is sure to be a cherished keepsake.
