• A Prayer Can Take Many Forms

    All of the great spiritual traditions pray. A prayer is a heartfelt intention that can express gratitude, devotion, and/or a need for forgiveness or healing. It is an act of reaching out to what is greater than ourselves and affirming our connection with that reality, regardless of what name it is given. Prayers may take on physical as well as verbal forms: Muslims kneel, Sufi Muslims may whirl, Orthodox Jews sway their bodies to and fro,and Native Americans dance and sing. In some cases, prayer can be silent as in the Zen Buddhist meditation tradition, the Quaker tradition and in the monastic centering prayer tradition from the Catholic Church. Verbal prayers may be spontaneous or they may be repeated phrases such as in the Catholic Rosary and in Hindu and Buddhist mantras. Singing could also be considered a form of corporate prayer in the Christian tradition.
  • The Serenity Prayer

    • God grant me the serenity
    • to accept the things I cannot change;
    • courage to change the things I can;
    • and wisdom to know the difference.
    • Living one day at a time;
    • Enjoying one moment at a time;
    • Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
    • Taking, as He did, this sinful world
    • as it is, not as I would have it;
    • Trusting that He will make all things right
    • if I surrender to His Will;
    • That I may be reasonably happy in this life
    • and supremely happy with Him
    • Forever in the next.
    • Amen.

  • The Lords Prayer

    • Our Father, who art in heaven,
    • hallowed be thy name.
    • Thy Kingdom come,
    • thy will be done,
    • on earth as it is in heaven
    • Give us this day our daily bread.
    • And forgive us our trespasses,
    • as we forgive those who trespass against us.
    • And lead us not into temptation,
    • but deliver us from evil.
    • For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
