Catholic prayers

Catholic prayers are expressions of communication with God, Jesus, or saints, used to seek guidance, express gratitude, or ask for help. They can be spontaneous or follow set formats like the Lord’s Prayer or Hail Mary. Prayers serve as a way to deepen faith, reflect on spiritual truths, and build a personal relationship with the divine. They often involve heartfelt words, silent contemplation, or scripted phrases, and are an integral part of worship and daily life. Praying personally or communally helps Catholics nurture their spiritual well-being and connection to their faith community.
