A Catholic Prayer Ministry
† The Catholic Crusade Mission Statement †
Our mission is to foster prayer and spiritual growth within the online Catholic community. In addition to our online work, our mission provides financial support to Catholic schools and education, various national Catholic charities, local Catholic religious organizations, pro-life ministries, and local food banks, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters.
WHAT’S NEW
RECENTLY ADDED
Prayer to the Most Chaste Heart
The Prayer to the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph is a beautiful devotion honoring the pure and loving heart of the man God chose to serve as foster father to His own Son and devoted spouse to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In praying these words, we are invited to pause and reflect on the extraordinary role St. Joseph played in the life of the Holy Family — not merely as a protector and provider, but as a father who tenderly raised Jesus, taught Him the Scriptures, led Him in prayer, and formed Him in the traditions of His people.
Prayer of St. Mary of Egypt
The “Prayer of St. Mary of Egypt” is a deeply moving prayer of repentance drawn from the life of one of the Church’s most remarkable penitent saints. The prayer acknowledges one’s unworthiness to even call upon Mary’s holy name, yet turns to her precisely because of that unworthiness — trusting in God’s mercy toward sinners. It asks Mary to intercede so the penitent may draw near to Christ, Who shed His Blood for sinners, and implores her to personally guide them by the hand along the path of repentance and conversion.
THE ROAD TO CALVARY
A collection of Lenten prayers & devotions designed to aid in personal reflection and spiritual renewal during the sacred season of Lent. These prayers embrace the Lenten journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, and can be used in private devotion or communal worship to help make your Lenten experience more meaningful as you prepare for the celebration of Easter.
This version of The Stations of the Cross remains one of the most widely used formats for the Stations of the Cross, particularly during Lent and especially on Good Friday. St. Alphonsus wrote it in 1761, focusing on making the meditation accessible while maintaining theological depth.
THE MONTH OF MARCH
March is the Month of St. Joseph!
The Catholic Church dedicates the month of March to St. Joseph, the foster father of Our Lord Jesus Christ and spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his honor, we have created a special playlist of St. Joseph prayers and devotions to help you grow in devotion to this great saint throughout the month.
THIS WEEK
Friday, March 6th & Saturday, March 7th
Deepen your spiritual life and draw closer to the hearts of Jesus and Mary through the powerful First Friday and First Saturday devotions. These beautiful practices offer a path to profound grace and spiritual growth. The Sacred Heart of Jesus promises abundant blessings, including peace, consolation, and assistance at the hour of death, to those who faithfully observe nine consecutive First Fridays. Similarly, Our Lady extends her maternal protection and the promise of salvation to those who commit to five consecutive First Saturdays in honor of her Immaculate Heart.
