The saints remind us that the very reason we exist is to give praise to God.

Fr. Peter John Cameron, OP | Aleteia

The opening line of the celebrated 4th-century hymn the Te Deum is “O God, we praise you.” Praise, the Catechism teaches us, is the form of prayer that recognizes “that God is God. It lauds God for his own sake and gives him glory, quite beyond what he does, but simply because he is” (2639).
