Oratory of Divine Love

The Oratory of Divine Love was a spiritual movement in 15th-century Italy dedicated to promoting personal devotion and compassion among laypeople—ordinary individuals outside the clergy. It emphasized prayer, charity, and inner spiritual growth, encouraging people to deepen their relationship with God in everyday life. The movement fostered a sense of community and inspired reform in religious practices, advocating for a more heartfelt and accessible approach to faith. Overall, it played a significant role in revitalizing spiritual life among the general population during the late Middle Ages.
