ACT OF CONTRITION
O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishment, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen 

4 practical tips for a meaningful and spiritually enriching Visita Iglesia

Holy Week is fast approaching and the Catholic faithful’s piety in commemorating the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ will, once more, showcase the profoundness of the faith.

One of the most popular devotions during Holy Week is the traditional VISITA IGLESIA, done during Maundy Thursday, right after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. Here, the faithful will visit 7, or sometimes, 14 Churches to pray before JESUS in the Altar of the Repose.  

Here are 4 practical tips for a meaningful and spiritually enriching Visita Iglesia:

1. GO TO CONFESSION. This is, after all, the main message of the lenten season: REPENT, and believe in the Gospel. In the Sacrament of Confession, we encounter JESUS through His minister, the Priest, ready to give us pardon and strength.
