Day 346: Meditation and Vocal Prayer — The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

📖 Follow along with the official Catechism in a Year Reading Plan (https://AscensionPress.com/CIY)Show more

Because man is both body and spirit, our prayers can be vocal and meditative. We learn that vocal prayer expresses the movements of our hearts and minds, enabling us to pray with the fullness of our being. Another form of prayer is meditation, which the Catechism tells us is “above all a quest.” In meditation, we employ our thoughts, imagination, and emotions to deepen our union with Christ. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2700-2708.

Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
