Lesson 17

Ways of Praying

The Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints serve as models of prayer, and we can ask them to pray for us.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Novena
    :
    A nine-day prayer for a specific intention.
  • Relic
    :
    (n.): An artifact of the saints and their holy lives worthy of veneration, such as their bodies, something they owned, or other items closely associated with them. While a relic does not give us grace directly, we believe they can be vessels for grace that bring us closer in relationship to God.
  • Veneration
    :
    The act of honoring. As Catholics we honor the saints and other artifacts of their holy lives, called relics.
