I am trying to form a list of all (or most) of the traditional Catholic devotions. I do not know very many though. If you know of any that are not on this list, please let me know!
  1. The Rosary*
  2. Chaplet of Divine Mercy
  3. Fatima - First Five Saturdays
  4. Sacred Heart - First Nine Fridays
  5. Three Hail Mary’s*
  6. Stations of the Cross
  7. Seven Sorrows of Mary
  8. Holy Face of Jesus
  9. Miraculous Medal*
  10. Precious Blood (Which I don’t know much about!)
  11. 40 Hours Devotion
  12. Scapulars (ALL SCAPULARS)
Please only list actual devotions. Mass and Liturgy of the Hours are not devotions. Thank you for all your help!

Also, do you know which ones are considered the most important? I know that Mary has asked us to do a lot and so has Jesus. I was wondering which ones I should start on first. Which ones need to be done as soon as possible?

*These are the ones I already participate in. I am looking for more to add in. Slowly, of course! I do not want to try them all and get overwhelmed and not actually be devoted to any of them!
 
Some other devotions include the Holy Name, the Five Wounds, total consecration to Jesus through Mary, and the Child Jesus. This website has a list of various devotions and explains them with great detail, including the ones I listed above. I would say devotion to the rosary and to the Blessed Sacrament would be the greatest of the devotions you listed, with the brown scapular, Stations, Fatima, and Sacred Heart coming close behind. Our Lord has told us to do much but not to overburden ourselves, so don’t take on too much. 🙂
 
Chaplet of the Holy Angels, Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel, the medal of St. Benedict. Then you have the Heroic Act in favour of the Poor Souls in Purgatory.

Praying the Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament, in the presence of Mary, St. Michael the Archangel (Guardian of the Blessed Sacrament), and our Guardian Angel is very powerful. There we may contemplate the sorrows or the joys of Christ, contemplating His Holy Face. That is a potential combination of about 10 devotions if we consider the sorrowful Face of Jesus! (But the number is really not important).
