The Roman Ritual

The Roman Ritual is a official collection of prayers, blessings, and ceremonies used by the Catholic Church, mainly in rituals like baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and blessings. It provides priests with structured, traditional texts and instructions to ensure these sacraments are performed consistently and reverently. Rooted in centuries of church history, it reflects the church’s spiritual practices and theological beliefs, serving as a practical manual that guides clergy in administering sacraments and special blessings to the faithful.
