Pray More and Increase Your Devotional Life

  1. Discover the Liturgy of the Hours*.*Longtime the prayer practice of priests and religious, many lay people enjoy praying the liturgy of the hours in whole or in part. You can purchase a breviary from your local Catholic bookseller, or online, by going to Universalis or the Divine Office. Modified versions of morning prayer and evening prayer are found in Magnificat.
  2. Receive a plenary indulgence for your religious practice by fulfilling certain requirements during the Year of Faith. Elizabeth Scalia offers understanding on the plenary indulgence.
  3. Make a holy hour, or go to Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Find a chapel that offers Adoration here.
  4. Pray a prayer for the new evangelization.
  5. Learn how to pray the Rosary.
  6. Learn how to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
