KNEELING

To pray the Divine Praises is to give glory to God and rest in his divine presence.

Many Catholics who attend Eucharistic adoration are familiar with praying the Divine Praises. This litany of praise normally concludes a time of adoration, giving glory to God present in the Holy Eucharist.

The prayer can be traced back to the 18th century and was composed by Italian Jesuit Luigi Felici, for the purpose of making reparations against blasphemy and profanity against God.

It is a prayer that falls into the category of praise, which is best described by the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

Many have prayed the Divine Praises for their personal prayer and find it to be a beautiful prayer of praise, resting in God's divine presence.
