Devotionals

Mass, the Holy Rosary, the Stations of the Cross, the Chaplet of Divine
Mercy, meditations, and Litanies.
EWTN Devotional Programming
- Benediction and Devotion
Hear the ethereal voices of Poor Clare Nuns singing from the cloister of
Our Lady of the Angels Monastery and The Shrine of the Most Blessed
Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. Reverence Our Eucharistic Lord in this
glorious setting with this beloved devotion.
- Daily Mass
Priests of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word offer the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass each day from the Chapel on EWTN's grounds as
friars intone Gregorian chant. Visiting priests and prelates frequently
concelebrate this sacrament instituted by Christ at the Last Supper.
- Devotionals
This time slot features a variety of short meditations and devotionals.
These programs frequently parallel and reinforce the Church's liturgical
year with seasonal themes.
- Divine Mercy Chaplet
Immerse yourself in God's merciful love and the mystical melody of this
sung chaplet whose prayers may be recited and counted on a string of beads
or a knotted cord. Join the refrain, "Have mercy on us and on the
whole world." St. Faustina received this powerful devotion in a
revelation in the 1930's.
- Holy Name Litany
For six centuries, this responsive prayer in honor of the Holy Name of
Jesus has been used in public liturgical services and in private devotions
for the common necessities of the Church and to implore God's help in
times of distress. This petition prayed in English praises Jesus as God
and as Man and begs Our Lord to deliver us from evil.
- The International Rosary
French, Spanish, Chinese, and English voices accentuate the mysteries of
faith contained in the Rosary. Join the men and women, young and old from
all walks of life and from around the world who mediate on the Christ's
life in the midst of their daily lives.
- Litaniae Beatae Mariae Virginis
Proclaim in Latin the praises of the Virgin Mary - Mother of God and
Mother of the Church - and ask her to pray for us. This majestic litany
originated with the 13th century translation of the Holy House of Nazareth
to Loreto, Italy.
- Litaniae Sancti Joseph
Recite in Latin the virtues of St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed
Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Ask this just,
humble saint to pray that we may be willing to hear and obey just as he
was 2,000 years ago.
- Papal Wednesday Audience
Draw near to the Holy Father, shepherding the flock with his weekly
catechism. Whether in the piazza of St. Peter's Basilica or the Paul VI
Audience Hall, the Vicar of Christ teaches the Gospel, prays, and greets
pilgrims from around the world.
- The Scriptural Rosary
The fruit of this Scriptural and repetitive prayer is the peace of
contemplation. The Hail Mary and the Our Father gently recede to become a
soothing background for voices reciting the 15 Joyful, Sorrowful, and
Glorious mysteries of Christ's life. Biblical passages and glorious art
elevate the gaze to the Divine.
- Stations of the Cross
Follow in the footsteps of Jesus on the way to Calvary with His Holiness
Pope John Paul II. Contemplate the fruit of Christ's offering on the Cross
in the dramatic nocturnal setting of the Roman Coliseum with Gospel
readings, meditations, Latin refrains, and paintings of the Passion. Be
encouraged to join the faithful and take up your cross.
- Sunday Mass
Priests of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word offer the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass each Sunday from the Chapel on EWTN's grounds as
friars intone Gregorian chant. Visiting priests and prelates frequently
concelebrate this sacrament instituted by Christ at the Last Supper.
- Via Dolorosa
Fr. Mitch Pacwa leads the faithful through the fourteen Stations of the
Cross. Scenes from sites in the Holy Land and Christ's Passion alternate
with sculptural and painted representations of the stations.
- Way of the Cross
Follow in the footsteps of Jesus on the way to Calvary with His Holiness
Pope John Paul II. Contemplate the fruit of Christ's offering on the Cross
in the dramatic nocturnal setting of the Roman Coliseum with Gospel
readings, meditations, Latin refrains, and paintings of the Passion. Be
encouraged to join the faithful and take up your cross. Second audio
program available in German.
