How do Catholics use the Bible in prayer?
Usually, quotes and texts of the Bible are selected for one’s particular need, in order to give adoration, thanksgiving, petition or to make reparation to God. The Psalms figure particularly popular in Catholic prayer and form the basis of the Divine Office, Liturgical refrains and popular devotional prayers and invocations. Both the Old and New Testament are used by Catholics, with a heavy emphasis on their continuity.
