Reddit reviews Prayers and Heavenly Promises

Some excellent answers here but the short answer is yes, Catholic as a I am, I have recognized the ritual and rites of Catholic practices to be deeply spiritual, holy, and “ceremonial” magick in a sense. It’s important that no matter what you practice that there is no “lip service” where you treat the prayers and litanies as blah blah blah but instead pray with fervor and focus on the Word and sacrificial Rite of the Mass.

I’ve been watching The Mystery School on YouTube by mindandmagick and he does a great job of explaining magick and the important of ritual on the subconscious. As a practitioner of it he talks about his ceremonial magick temple(room in his house) and how sacred he treats it and how seriously he preps for rituals and decorated his temple. He doesn’t let anyone in that room either and has no disturbances interrupt him. This got me thinking about the Mass and how the church demands the same sacredness and solemnity. It’s all meant to prime our subconscious and build our energy and intent to a communion with a higher power intent on doing good will in the world.

Catholics have magick. We have the Prayer to Michael the Archangel for protection. We have the Rosary Novena for petitioning for favors. We have chaplets and the Holy Sacraments. We have our spiritual cleansing ritual in the form of the Sacrament of Confession and believe in fasting and prayer to bring ourselves closer to God. And of course, the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

I like reading a book compiled of prayers from various mystics and saints that are powerful when wielded with faith, like anything, it’s all about faith in what you’re doing. No lip service! Prayers and Heavenly Promises
