Foundational Prayers for the Catholic Faith
These are the prayers which all true
Catholics of sound mind must know, without which the practice of Catholicity
cannot even begin to be successfully accomplished. They are also prayers that, to one
degree or another, are, more often than not, incorporated into other prayers of longer
duration, or into various devotions, rituals & practices of the members of the
Roman Catholic Church. These foundational prayers are six in number as far as I
have gone in my ponderings & prayers thus far: the Sign of the Cross, the
Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Glory Be, the Apostle’s Creed
and the Holy Rosary. Use the link just above this descriptive paragraph
to learn more about them!

Prayers of Contrition & Penance
Every Catholic, except for the most saintly,
commits sins after his baptism. And even the most saintly of Catholics do not
dare, in their saintly humility, to think that they have reached moral
perfection in this life. Hence, a Catholic must recognize his sins for the sins
that they are --- and be sorry for them --- in order to be forgiven for them.
This is especially true of sins that are mortal,
i.e., deadly and thus certain to send
you to Hell unless cleansed from them prior to death upon this earth. And,
praised be the Holy Family, there are prayers made available to members of the
Catholic Church just for this purpose. Go to this subsection to see them!
