Curing and Saving

Prayer is an earnest hope or a wish, a request for help or expression of thanks made to God. Petition is the kind of prayer that begs for determinate objects. Supplication is when things sought are indeterminate. Obsecration is a solemn adjuration, asking a favour. Thanksgiving is the returning of thanks for benefits received.

Among all the means of salvation recommended by Jesus Christ in the Gospel, the first place is given to prayer. “Cry to me, and I will hear you. Call upon me and I will deliver you. Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.” Prayer is a source of strength.

By reading and meditating, we learn a lot, but by prayer, we obtain the grace to do it. Worldwide, the tradition of prayer has been a source of immense faith and strength. Brahma got the Gayatri Mantra, by akashvani, divine voice. It is said that because of this, Brahma got the power of creation.

The holy rosary of Mother Mary is a profound and meaningful form of prayer
