Catholic devotional practices

Catholic devotional practices are spiritual exercises that express and deepen one's faith. These include praying the Rosary, which involves reciting prayers and meditating on specific events from the lives of Jesus and Mary. Other practices include novenas—nine days of prayer for specific intentions—adoration of the Eucharist, and the Stations of the Cross, which reflects on Jesus's Passion. Devotion to saints, particularly through prayer and celebrating feast days, is also significant. These practices foster a personal connection to God, enhance community worship, and help Catholics seek guidance, comfort, and inspiration in their spiritual journey.
