The Catholic Church is fundamentally liturgical and sacramental in its public life of worship. Divine liturgy is something “the whole Christ” celebrates: the high Priest, Our Risen Lord, together with his Body not only on earth but in heaven; “a great multitude, which no man could number. (Revelation 7:9)
The Devotional life, though not sacramental, derives its power and efficacy from the prayer of the Church. Holy Rosary encourages appreciation for Devotions, most especially the prayer of Our Lady, the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. It is our hope that it be fostered and encouraged in every home and family. This ancient form of prayer, as well as the veneration of relics and sacred objects; the Stations of the Cross; Holy Hours, Eucharistic Adoration, Benediction; blessings and countless popular devotions, strengthens the church and enriches the life of the faithful. |
