devotion and daily practice

If you have no prayer life and struggle to pray frequently, memorizing the fixed prayers and making a habit of reading the liturgical prayers of the day is a more effective long term strategy of becoming prayerful than expecting yourself to just spontaneously do it without practice.

These are prayers that I have memorized or that I'm working on memorizing.

  1. Our Father
    Pater Noster
  2. Hail Mary
    Ave Maria
  3. Glory Be
    Gloria Patri
  4. Bless Us, O Lord
    Benedic, Domine, Nos
  5. Holy, Holy, Holy
    Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
  6. Nicene Creed
    Symbolum Nicaenum
  7. Hail, Holy Queen
    Salve, Regina
  8. Apostle's Creed
    Symbolum Apostolorum
  9. Fatima Prayer
    Oratio Fatimensis
  10. St. Michael the Archangel Prayer
