Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

— St. Ignatius of Loyola

Why We Pray

Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God — a covenant relationship between Creator and creation. Whether our prayers lead to mercy, as when Moses interceded for Israel, or to surrender, as when Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, they are always meaningful. Prayer draws us closer to God, shapes our hearts, and aligns us with His will.

The Catholic tradition offers a treasury of prayers for every season of life. From ancient litanies prayed by the Desert Fathers to prayers for the challenges of modern life, this collection is here to help you find the right words when your heart reaches out to God. Every prayer on this site is rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the wisdom of the Saints.
