What is the difference between Liturgy and Popular Devotions. Jesus makes prayer a priority in His life and it is His prayer life that enables Him to fulfil the many duties that He has. If Jesus made time to pray in order to accomplish His duties, how much more so do we need to pray to accomplish our duties? The Liturgy and Popular Devotions practiced by Catholics enables us to pray always and to connect our life with the Life of Christ and the saving work of Christ.
