Common Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or prayers:

“When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Go, you are dismissed.
[Ite missa est.]”
—Missal, The. The Ordinary of the Mass.

Missal is book of prayers and rites used to celebrate the Roman Catholic mass during the year.
