THE PRAYER

By Homero Moraes Barros

Trace of light that connects the creature to the Creator, must forth the heart with feelings of faith in the Father, in His mercy, in His refuge. Do not mind the words that reflect these feelings. Is not the beauty of the verb, not its size which made it more worthwhile. It really only our noble aspirations.

The Prayer is an invocation, it is our appeal to Superior Spirituality, is a symptom of our quest with good spirits and through them to God. It in place in relation to the mental being to whom we address. It can also encourage our thoughts to those that ask for.

The Prayer is an act of submission and praise to God - the source of all things, whose immeasurable greatness cannot cover with our understanding of creatures at the beginning of the journey to spiritual perfection, compressed between the animal and angelic. God is the supreme justice and mercy to obey its laws to be choosing the best for ourselves. Everything that comes from the Father's is good for the children’s in front the spiritual realities that do not always we achieved.

Praise is exalt, is to glorify the greatness of the Lord, creator of the universe, sovereignly just and good, origin of all things, that enamide love.

The Prayer may terminate the request of thanks, the aid we need.

We ask the forces to overcome our problems, ask for the precious gifts of the patience and resignation and of the faith, and not material benefits, ephemeral and most often useless or harmful to the true good of our immortal spirit.

The Prayer must express our gratitude for being, for living in the material world to evolve through the trial and suffering that provide us the redemption and learning, developing intelligence and capacity for love – wing that allow us evolutional flights. Gratitude for the support, the assistance of spiritual friends that guides and guide us in the journey of the meat. Gratitude for the relief of pain and afflictions that we caused for ourselves - from the "Law of Action and Reaction."

To Pray means to seek symptom with levels more higher. Must be constant in our lives because favors us in the assimilation of spiritual fluids that fortify the body and soul. Which promotes our intuition by we "hear" the guidance of higher entities. Always in favor of us because who asks receives, who that search found, and who that beats the doors of spirituality will be opened.

Pray, God will
