The general use of devotionals is to vitalize spiritual growth. Not all spiritual journeys are the same. So, when praying, meditating or contemplating people rely on different devotionals to serve different purposes. Some seek out sacramentals to enhance their religious devotional approach and experience overall and make use of incense, rosaries, or scapulars.

The Bible shows us God's nature and God's unconditional love for his people. Whether we read the Old or the New Testament, we continue to see the unchanging and unwithered, gracious and loving God as is and has always been and will always be.

Statues and images help us quiet the mind and connect with the divine. The presence of a statue in an altar or sacred space presents us with a deeper connection and a richer relationship with God.
