#how to pray

[sweagen]

Hello any of my Followers reading this…

If you are experiencing any sort of great hardship or distress, I urge you to try:

PRAYING!!!!

What????? Is praying, you ask?

It’s simple…

Stop.

Whatever you are doing.

Breathe.

Close your eyes.

Look inward. (You can open your eyes to read the rest and try applying them one by one with your eyes closed)

Reconnect, with what it means to Love.

Yourself.

Other people.

What it means to Be.

Alive.

Thinking thoughts, And having a Body.

Recall ….

The moments, the experiences, that bind us together and make life worth living.

Turn yourself towards this meaning.

This is Love. You have met before.

Continue to breathe.

Welcome Love back into your heart.

Continue to breathe.

Open your eyes.

You have successfully made one (1) prayer. Well done!! I hope this helped you feel a little better if it worked. If it didn’t work for whatever reason for you, don’t worry I have a lot more things I can show you, and keep trying, take it slowly. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your heart may have developed a protective outer layer that requires longer to be comfortable to allow Love back into. But that’s okay. Love is patient and will be here for you so please continue to pray! Like anything else, praying becomes easier with practice!! Cya until next time <3

The Lord’s Prayer ~ Verse of the Day - Matthew 6:9-13

[heresylog]

Do you have any simple resources on learning how to pray the rosary? My family are all Catholic but never passed on any knowledge to me and I have not put much effort into learning before. I'd like to learn now. Thank you.

I was going to link you to a how-to but I’d rather just explain it.

I wrote this from mostly memory. For a more in depth explanation I’d recommend researching on your own. There are so many things I left out.

You begin with the crucifix on the bottom and do the sign of the cross “in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit” and it starts on your forehead for father, your chest for son, and your left shoulder for holy and right shoulder for spirit.

Then you say the Apostle’s Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Then you do three Hail Marys for an increase in faith, hope, and charity. I will include the prayers in the end.

You then begin with the first mystery (each set of mysteries corresponds for a day of the week) You will read the passage from the Bible and meditate on the fruit of the mystery. For example, the first sorrowful mystery is about Jesus praying the night before and becoming so stressed that beads of blood formed instead of sweat. The fruit of that mystery is obedience and you are meant to meditate on how that passage and obedience plays a role in your life.

You will pray the Our Father and then you will say 10 Hail Marys (a decade) while meditating on the mystery. Once you reach the tenth you will then pray Glory Be. After that you will pray Fatima’s Prayer (also known as the O My Jesus prayer) and then you will do the same thing with another mystery.

Once you reach the end of the rosary, there’s usually a connecting bead that corresponds. You will pray the Hail Holy Queen. Sometimes people end with a response, sometimes it just ends there. It just depends on you, your situation, or the group you pray in.

Prayers

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father

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.

Glory Be

Glory be to the father and to the son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Fatima

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sims. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven especially those in most need of thy mercy.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail holy queen mother of mercy. Our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us. Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, o loving, o sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us O holy mother of God that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

*all text in red indicates that it is meant to be said by everyone in a group setting. When by yourself, obviously you will pray both parts. When in a group, only the leader will say the words in white.

How to Pray

Decide who you want to pray to. (Examples: Artemis, Juno, SkaðI, Lugh, Cernunnos …)

Clear off a small shelf or surface if you don't have a ritual space.

Add a printout of The god's image or pull up an image on your phone.

Spend a few moments saying hello.

Pick a time to come back.

Give offerings, if you can — for example, pour a sip of your tea or coffee into a bowl before you leave in the mornings.

When God is Silent: Praying in the Words of Another

Which kind of praying is better, memorized prayers, written prayers, or extemporaneous prayers that we make up in the moment?

The first prayer that I remember praying was one I learned. It was a bedtime prayer. I don’t recall whether I learned it from my mother or someone else. It went like this: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. To be honest, this prayer disturbed me. Up to that point, it hadn’t occurred to me that I could…

by Dr. John Koessler | As a child, many of us were taught to kneel beside our bed to pray. But we can also pray while standing, walking, running, or even lying down. It is not the position we are in when we pray that matters; what is most important is the attitude of the heart...

One way to make “praying at beginnings” part of your life is to say a short prayer to the Gods you already pray to whenever you’re about to start planning a project or writing a complex, multi-part to-do list. You can also pray at major milestones, like birthdays & anniversaries.

[divine-nonchalance]

Dear Universe, help me to understand and feel who I am, and the lineage I carry of humanity. Help me to have peace over these things and know that I am included and loved dearly. Help me to feel the entourage around me all the time. Help me to understand my eternalness and the light that I carry for the Earth.

Sunday Psalm: Standing Boldly Before the Throne of Grace

Sometimes my faith, spiritual life, feels like a noun instead of a verb. It’s passive, not active. Therefore I see God as passive. And my conversations, prayers, with God are passive, tentative. “Just be with me,” I beg. Jesus’ parable about the woman besieging the unjust judge tells us a different story. Be bold! Today’s Sunday Psalm then is a bold prayer filled with verbs asking for our basic…
