Does the power of prayer still represents something essential in a world filled with injustice and cruelty?
My favorite prayer is “Immaculate Conception give me strength to fight injustice and cruelty”.

Bênção da Saúde
Pelo sinal e poder da Santa Cruz, +
pela intercessão da Virgem Maria,
o Senhor vos abençoe e proteja,
volva seu olhar e tenha compaixão de vós.
Que o Senhor mostre sua face misericordiosa
e vos dê a paz e vos conceda a almejada saúde.
Pelo sinal da Santa Cruz, +
Jesus que aliviou os sofrimentos,
curou as doenças e libertou os possessos do demónio,
afaste de vós todos os males e enfermidades.
Pelo sinal da Santa Cruz, +
vos abençoe Jesus Cristo com sua Mãe, a Virgem Maria.
Amém.
«Cântico das Criaturas», de S. Francisco de Assis
Altíssimo, Omnipotente, Bom Senhor
Teus são o Louvor, a Glória,
a Honra e toda a Bênção.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
com todas as Tuas criaturas,
especialmente o senhor irmão Sol,
que clareia o dia e que,
com a sua luz, nos ilumina.
Ele é belo e radiante,
com grande esplendor;
de Ti, Altíssimo, é a imagem.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pela irmã Lua e pelas estrelas,
que no céu formaste, claras.
preciosas e belas.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor.
pelo irmão vento,
pelo ar e pelas nuvens,
pelo sereno
e por todo o tempo
em que dás sustento
às Tuas criaturas.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pela irmã água, útil e humilde,
preciosa e casta.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pelo irmão fogo,
com o qual iluminas a noite.
Ele é belo e alegre,
vigoroso e forte.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pela nossa irmã, a mãe terra,
que nos sustenta e governa,
produz frutos diversos,
flores e ervas.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pelos que perdoam pelo Teu amor
e suportam as enfermidades
e tribulações.
Louvado sejas, meu Senhor,
pela nossa irmã, a morte corporal,
da qual homem algum pode escapar.
Louvai todos e bendizei o meu Senhor!
Dai-Lhe graças e servi-O
com grande humildade!
Amém.

So true dear Paul, Ave Maria is so beautiful, no words can express it.
Thank you dear Thelma and Paul.
love to you and all

I like to think that a prayer is letting God know what is going on in the world. It’s communication to give thanks, to ask for help, to understand, to improve.
St maia Goretti pray for and for the suffering children everywhere.Thankyou
Dear Paul from Austria, Thank you so much for the Ave Maria of Bobby Mc Ferrin. It is the first time that I have listen to it. It is marvellous. Next time I will be playing the Bach’s Prelude, I will think of Ave Maria in the background. LOVE, THELMA.
sure.Faith and prayer help people to find peace.
Yes,
the world is “filled with injustice and cruelty” because people dont’ pray. Praying we become less unjust and cruel.
For Sibila Maria India: thank you for the synthesis “What do we choose, to be part of the problem or to be part of the solution?”
The key is “we choose”, I think.
Love
I don’t belong to any particular religion, but I believe words are powerful if they have a meaning to the one who’s saying it. I don’t know if it counts as a prayer but my mum used to sing to me a mantra when I was little, so when I want something or feel I want to comunicate with God I sing this mantra. OM NAMAH SHIVAYA.

A little more. The world is filled with much darkness – and also with much light. Polarities are becoming more extreme due to the times we live in. As I see it, prayer is essential today as one of the vital ways to connect with whatever is Divine for us. Maybe the battle is so visible around and outside us. And really – it mirrors the battles that go on inside ourselves. What do we choose – to be part of the problem or to be part of the solution? To let darkness rule or to be the change we want to see in this world? Maybe prayer is a very vital tool here…
Prayer is a direct, personal call with the Divine level in our selves and all around us and essential for anyone who wants to connect with this level of consciousness inside themselves. Speaking from your heart with sincere words with the Divine is an extremely vital and powerfull thing to do and find.
The energy, the power of prayer, even without words. It is the constant unison with “Our Father..”, the Light. LOVE, THELMA
The prayer brings peace to the soul, peace of mind, gives answers and understanding when something like cruelty or injustice takes place.
love
