Devotions are a particular way to honor and worship God in addition to normal liturgy of the Church. Devotions are beautiful ways for personal growth in sanctification and to assist in the renewal of the Church. Over the centuries many mystical saints have brought us wonderful devotions to help us grow in sanctity and to pray for the sins of the world in union with Christ and His Holy Mother.
What are examples of devotions for sanctification and renewal that many faithful Catholics do in addition to the liturgy? The Rosary is one of the most central and one that many Catholics are familiar with. The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the commitment to practice the First Fridays is another one. There is also a devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the commitment to practice the First Saturdays. Many Catholics recite the Divine Mercy daily for poor sinners. Many mystical saints have brought these treasures to the faithful over the centuries. Here you will find information about specific devotions that can be prayed in adoration for the conversion of souls and the purification of the Church. As you grow in holiness and continue your commitment to pray for the needs of the Church God in his mercy will shower you with many graces. Make a sincere commitment to the Lord if He has given you a desire to begin one of these devotions. Remain faithful to it and do your best to honor Our Lord Jesus Christ.
