Welcome to our blog, if you believe in God
and this post, short comparison of prayers

Short comparison of prayers
-
I believe that it is important that we pray, by praying to God we believe that we have done a good deed, so, we feel better. We can pray our own prayers, or some prayers that have been written for us in general. Sometimes, if we want to pray for something special, we may have to say our own prayer, just the way it comes from our heart.
Short comparison of prayers
Dear
readers, this post here is the continuation of our last post, our prayers to
God and what we would like to achieve, where we have written a few new prayers
to God Most-high, according to the needs that we see coming in the future, if
the religious changes that we are suggesting here take place.
Having
done that and other things, I believe that now it could be helpful, if we could
make a short comparison of how people pray today between some of the main
religions, just to see the main difference that exist today in religions and
religious prayers, this would also help us see how our new prayers could help
bridge the difference that exist today.
Now,
the prayers that I am going to write here-under are the beginning only of the
main religious prayers that we use, anyhow, they may or may not be correct
according to the views of the readers, it all depends from the views of the
reader and the religion that the reader belongs to; as I have said, we are
going to use only the beginning of the prayers, because most prayers are very
long and complex, but let us see if there are similarities, or diversities in
the following prayers.
---------------
Roman
Catholic prayers
The
Roman Catholic prayers may be said that are easy, for the believers that are
praying, they are also easy because anyone of us can pray anywhere, in fact we
could be walking and praying, or doing a task and praying, of course the best
place to pray is to go to church and pray. But if we cannot do that, we can
just pray anywhere we are. So, how we pray?
We
usually start with the sign of the cross thus;
In
the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit, amen.
Then
we would usually follow with
The
Lord prayer thus;
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 that trespass against us, and lead us not
into temptation but deliver us from evil; Amen.
This
Lord Prayer has a few versions, according to which Christian religion one
follows, the original one is written in the Bible; The New Testament Matthew
gospel 6,9 to13. check it in the Bible, if you have one.
These
two short prayers above are the two most important prayers that any Roman
Catholic person and other Christians religions use for people prayers, to start
with, and then there is a very long list of other prayers that we could follow with,
if one feels like praying and knows how to pray.
--------------------------------
Islam
prayers,
Praying
in Islam is a lot harder that the Roman Catholic way, for a start they are
required to pray 5 times every day to their God Allah, to do that they should
get ready first, they should cleanse themselves, spread a clean cloth on the
ground, then turn towards Mecca kneel on this clean cloth and bow down to their
God Allah while saying their prayers; here I have to say that I don’t know
enough to say much more, but I believe that this prayer here under is their
first prayer that they start with, followed by other prayers according to their
rules; I believe that this is their first surer and they bow down saying:
The
first surer
(1)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
(2)
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind jinns
and all that exist)
(3)
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
(4)
The only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the day of recompense (i.e. the
day of Resurrection)
(5)
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and
everything)
(6)
Guide us to the Straight Way
(7)
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those
who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as
the Christians)
------------------------------
For
what I understand this above is the first surer, that they say every time they
pray, it would be followed by another surer according to their rules. I believe
that it is hard to be a Muslim; I prefer my Roman Catholic religion that is a
lot easier on their followers.
I
might come back one day to add more, if I believe that what I have found is
important enough to be added here. Anyhow, here-under is a link that should
take you to the Koran, check it out, it is hard to read to Koran, but it might
be interesting, for those people that would like to know.

What articles we have published
Dear readers, now that I have written a few prayers
in our posts, and partly explained to you the reasons for my personal needs and
other things, let me inform you dear readers, what we have already written and
published in our site called hub pages, so that it would be easier for you to
follow what has been said and why, if you read some of these articles.
First of all I need to say
that this article, Prayers of
Reconciliation is a hub written for these
prayers written therewith, and although the name sound similar to another hub
it is not the same, you see the other hub Prayers for Reconciliation was/is
really the beginning of our religions writings, what happens now is that, in
this religious review we have started from a different point of view,
so that we could explain better to the readers how these reconciliation
writings have come about, and from there worked back to reach the old starting
point of Prayers for reconciliation and so on; anyhow we have published already
these hubs called:
Starting from, RECONCILIATION FORUM, and these are
the links hereunder:
These religious articles including this one
“Prayers of Reconciliation” have been written and published in Hub Pages from,
Francesco Menchise
I believe that I have said enough in this post. See
you soon.
May God bless us all?
