General Catholic Devotions

This collection gathers the everyday prayers that Catholics traditionally turn to over the course of a day and across the sacramental life of the Church. It opens with morning and evening prayers, then moves through the words said before and after Mass, confession and Holy Communion. Readers will also find devotions for a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, a prayer to the Sacred Heart, meditations on the Stations of the Cross, and petitions addressed to the Virgin Mary. The volume closes with four approved litanies, those of the Holy Name, the Sacred Heart, Loreto and All Saints. It is designed as a practical companion for personal prayer, offering established words for anyone who wants a steady structure for devotion.
