Lift UpYour Hearts

Prayer is the raising of the mind and heart to God. It is the foundation of the Christian life, the source of grace, and the path to holiness. The Catholic tradition offers a treasury of prayers handed down through the centuries, from the words of Scripture to the devotions of the saints.

Here you will find the essential prayers every Catholic should know: the Our Father taught by Christ himself, the Hail Mary honouring Our Lady, and the ancient creeds professing our faith. You will also discover devotions that have nourished generations of believers, from the Rosary to the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Whether you seek prayers for daily life, preparation for the sacraments, or guidance in times of trial, this hub offers resources for every need. Let the words of the Church become your words, and draw ever closer to the God who longs to hear from you.

Prayer and Devotion

The Church offers many forms of prayer: vocal prayer using set words, meditation pondering sacred truths, and contemplation resting silently in God's presence.

Browse the resources below to find prayers for every occasion, learn traditional devotions, and deepen your life of prayer.

Litanies

Ancient prayers of petition and praise. Litanies are responsive prayers in which we call upon God, Our Lady, or the saints, receiving a repeated response that unites our voices in supplication.

Novenas

Nine days of focused prayer and devotion. Novenas are a treasured Catholic tradition of sustained prayer, following the example of the Apostles who prayed for nine days between the Ascension and Pentecost.

Devotional Prayers

A treasury of Catholic devotional prayers. These prayers, drawn from the rich tradition of the Church, offer ways to deepen our relationship with God, honour Our Lady, and seek the intercession of the saints.

“Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.”

SJ

St John Chrysostom
