I don't pray very often; when I do, it's not really directed at Anybody in particular. Still I find the language of some prayers very beautiful. I think the book of Psalms is stunning.Here's a little prayer from a book on Ayurveda that I'm reading: Aditi, mighty mother of just rulers and queen of those who follow Cosmic Order, great protectress with a far-extending reach untouched by time, gracious guide, to you we cry. -Yajur Veda (21.5) I love that. What prayers do you like best? IP: Logged |

As Jesus directed us to. It is from this prayer that derived the current version of "Our Father", the ecumenical prayer of ISSA (Jesus ). The aramaic was an original language of High Mesopotamia, and the language used by the people of the area. Jesus always spoke to the people in aramaic. The direct translation of the aramaic for the English, (without the interference of the Church), show us how this prayer is beautiful, deep and true, in keeping with Master Jesus. " Our Father/Our Mother, breathing of the Life, Source of the sound, Action without words, Creator of the Cosmos! Make your Light shine inside of us, among us and out of us so that we can turn it useful.
Help us to follow our road, Just breathing the feeling that emanates from YOU. Ours ME, in the same step, may be with Yours, so that we walk as Kings and Queens With all the other creatures. That Yours and our desire, be only one, in the whole Light, as well as in all the forms, in all individual existence, as well as in all the communities. Make us feel the soul of the Earth inside of us, because, like this, we will feel the Wisdom that exists in everything. Don't allow that the superficiality and the appearance of the things of the world deceives us, And free us of all that that impedes our growth. Don't let us be taken by the forgetfulness that You are the Power and the Glory of the world, the Song that rejuvenates from times to times and that to everything beautifies. May YOUR love be the soil where increases our actions. Amen!!! ------------------------------------------- "*Abwoon d'bashmaia Netcádash shimóch Tetê malcutách Una Nehuê tcevianách aicana d'bashimáia af b'arha Hôvlan lácma d'suncanán Iaomána Uashbocan háubein uahtehin Aicána dáf quinan shbuocán L'haiabéin Uêla tahlan l'nesiúna.

In honor of St Patrick From Saint Patrick's Breastplate Christ be with me Christ before me Christ behind me Christ in me Christ beneath me Christ above me Christ on my right Christ on my left Christ where I lie Christ where I sit Christ where I arise Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me Christ in every eye that sees me Christ in every ear that hears me Salvation is of the Lord.
