Devotional Information:

According to the Holy See’s Directory on Popular Piety:

The Subject of Popular Piety

67. The Church’s Magisterium, mindful that “the spiritual life…is not limited solely to participation in the liturgy” and that “the Christian…must enter into his bedroom to pray to his Father in secret”, indeed, “according to the teaching of the apostle, he must pray without ceasing”, holds that the subject of the various forms of prayer is every Christian – clerics, religious and laity – both privately when moved by the Spirit of Christ, and when praying with the community in groups of different origins and types.
