V. Prayer of Praise

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2641
“[Address] one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody
to the Lord with all your heart.”¹²⁴ Like the inspired writers of
the New Testament, the first Christian communities read the Book of Psalms in a
new way, singing in it the mystery of Christ. In the newness of the Spirit,
they also composed hymns and canticles in the light of the unheard – of event
that God accomplished in his Son: his Incarnation, his death which conquered death,
his Resurrection, and Ascension to the right hand of the Father.¹²⁵
Doxology, the praise of God, arises from this “marvelous work” of the
whole economy of salvation.¹²⁶
