Prayers & Practices: Session 19 & 20

By -

In session 19, I spoke about the three main prayers (among many) that I believe every Catholic should. These prayers are: the Glory Be (Doxology), the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary.
Here's a few highlights from the class:

  1. Doxology means a prayer of praise or glory. The Glory Be is a beautiful prayer to our Blessed Trinity. 
  2. The Lord's prayer was given to us by Jesus to his disciples: see Matthew 6:9, or Luke 11: 1
  3. The first part of the Hail Mary can be found in Luke's gospel: see Luke 1:28 & Luke 1:42
In session 20, yesterday, we spoke of other useful prayers such as the Lectio Divina, Adoration prayers, the Angelus,  etc.

Here are the PowerPoint presentations & handouts used in both sessions

The grace he offers to us is enough to sustain us as we journey on in life. Here's a the sacraments in brief: Sacraments of Initiation: 1. Baptism - We become adopted children of God and members of the Church. 2. Confirmation - Our baptismal promises are "sealed" with Holy Spirit. 3. Eucharist - The Sacrament of all sacraments. The true presence of Christ in the Eucharist, in the form of bread & wine. Sacraments of Healing: 1. Reconciliation / Penance / Confession - In this sacrament, the sins we commit after Baptism is forgiven & absolved. 2. Anoi...
