Acts of Devotion

Visitors to the Church of the Good Shepherd will note the rich ceremonial of the Mass. Many worshippers use manual acts of devotion to enrich their participation in the liturgy. A manual act is an outward and visible way of expressing one's connection to the mystery of God. The information that follows will be helpful to those who wish to understand why manual acts of devotion are so important to Catholic Christians.
