Simple and short sentences
It is not necessary to make long prayers, with complicated formulations to trust God. Prayer is a daily dialogue, with an open heart, as simple and true as when a son talks with his father. You know? Two or three words, spoken with love, make a sentence. This is the case of ejaculatory prayers or even of silence, when we are in recollection and make a prayer.
We can also give glory to God with the Glory to the Father (Gloria Patri), a short but essential prayer to the Holy Trinity.
There are also short prayers to pray in the morning or at night, before going to bed.
With this community of , we can receive a beautiful prayer to easily establish this dialogue with the Father.
prayers to the church
Church celebrations are an opportunity to pray together: “For where there are two or three gathered in my Name, I am present in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20).
During mass, the Eucharistic prayer to consecrate the bread and wine allows us to relive the Last Supper and prepare to receive together the body and blood of Christ shed for us.
The universal prayer or prayer of the faithful, which is said at each celebration or mass, allows for a communion of prayer around the intentions for the Church and the world.
We also pray together at church celebrations such as baptism, marriage, with the spouses’ prayer, and at funerals with a prayer for the dead.
