Visita Iglesia is a Philippine devotional custom of visiting churches, especially during Holy Week. This site-authored guide uses traditional prayers already preserved on this website and complete public-domain Douay-Rheims Gospel verses. The guidance and reflection prompts are separate from the published prayers. It is not an official liturgical order or an obligation to visit a set number of churches. Follow the arrangements of each church and respect liturgical services in progress.

Teksto ng panalangin
Sa ngalan ng Ama at ng Anak at ng Espiritu Santo. Siya Nawa.
Prepare for the visit
Let us visit these churches reverently, remembering Jesus in his Passion. Keep conversations quiet, respect each church’s directions, and allow others room to pray.
On Holy Thursday, follow local parish directions for prayer at the altar of repose. Do not treat the altar of repose as a tomb. Seven churches are a devotional custom, not an obligation; a person may pray in fewer churches or at home if unable to travel.
At each church
Let us remain with Christ in prayer. We bring the needs of our families, our Church, and all who suffer.
Ama namin, sumasalangit Ka, sambahin ang ngalan Mo. Mapasaamin ang kaharian Mo, sundin ang loob Mo dito sa lupa, para nang sa langit.
Bigyan Mo kami ngayon ng aming kakanin sa araw-araw; at patawarin Mo kami sa aming mga sala, para nang pagpapatawad namin sa nagkakasala sa amin; at huwag Mo kaming ipahintulot sa tukso, at iadya Mo kami sa lahat ng masama. Amen.
Ave Maria, napupuno ka ng grasya, Ang Panginoon ay sumasaiyo, Bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat, At pinagpala rin naman ang iyong anak na si Hesus.
Santa Maria, Ina ng Diyos, ipanalangin mo kaming makasalanan, ngayon at kung kami ay mamamatay. Amen.
Luwalhati sa Ama, at sa Anak, at sa Espiritu Santo.
Kapara nang sa unang-una, ngayon at magpakailanman, at magpasawalang-hanggan. Amen.
Pause for silent prayer.
Let us continue our prayer together.
