Title: A Prayer For Today. •

Q: I looked through 9 of the numerous pages in this forum for one with prayers. If I overlooked one, apologies. The snail-pace of my machine tonight made me opt to create this one.
Just watched two vocal artists on TV sing the following song. I hope it is okay to past it here.

_______________"The Prayer"_______________
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restera
and hold it in our hearts.
A ricordarci che
when stars go out each night,
Eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace,
di fraternita
La forza che ci da
we ask that life be kind
E il desiderio che
and watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
we hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro se
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe,
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noooooi,
Sento che ci s a l v e r a a a a a

Ainsi soit-Elle

A: I watched the THREE TENORS on PBS last night.Many years ago in 1990 we were stationed in Hawaii when this concert took place in Caracalla,italy and I discovered the beauty of Opera when PBS televised this program when we lived in California 1991.I was saddened by the death of Luciano Pavarotti and Heath Ledger,who died too young.I hope Patrick Swayze who is one of my favorite actors will survive his cancer.I survived mine.It takes strenghth and courage to deal with life's problems and faith to accept Death.
Today is my one year anniversary on this forum.I've really enjoyed it.

Happy 1-year on this forum Anniversary Panluna.
I just got back from a 3 month work project.
My prayer for today is "Go Habs, Go!"
Habs is short for the French word Habitant.
The earliest French-Canadians were called Coureurs des bois
(Forest runners). Later on, in the 1600, other French-Canadians
settled on the lands in Quebec and were called Les Habitants,
"Go Habs, Go! " is a cry of encouragement the Quebecois yell during
hockey games, to encourage the Montreal Canadians hockey team
during play-off series.
The Habs play their key game in hockey semi-finals.
Most predict the Habs will not will, but, I must be loyal and say anyway :
" Go, Habs, Go!"

Sunday, June 15th, 2008
10h30
It is raining here in Quebec at the moment.
I just watched the US TV program on the passing of political journalist, Tim Russert.
Godde, please welcome this fine Irish American into your kingdom.
Tim was respectful of all human beings he met.
Tim was a lawyer who became a journalist.
His Sunday morning program, "Meet The Press" was a forum where he interviewed politicians and other news makers.
They say that Tim was the most prepared interviewer and the fairest.
He asked though questions.
He listened to responses.
He let interviewees speak.
He always had intelligent questions to follow.
His interviewing made people be more authentic.
As a human being, he expressed his love and tenderness to all, even to those he disagreed with.
Tim was from a working class family. His father was a city worker who was a member of a garbage collection crew. After interviewing a President, he was at the home of a fellow journalist, who broke a glass, and pitched the pieces of glass into the garbage bag. Tim took his fellow journalist to task and told him that when you break a glass, to wrap the pieces in news paper, so that garbage collector would not cut their hands when handling garbage bag.
So said Tim, son of a city worker, interviewer of Presidents.
Rest in peace Tim.

Rest in peace, thou good and humble servant.

...Sigh. I watched "Meet The Press" this morning, Tim Russert's program. What a loss is his death... On all channels in the US, all journalists expressed their love and tender feeling for this Irish-American lawyer turned journalist.
Tim, I will miss seeing you at 9h on Sundays.
Sniff, sniff.

A: I think I like praying to God and addressing God as "Our Father" as Jesus stated. He gave no name and said "Your Father knows who you are" So when I really wanted to learn , I stopped following others and got on my knees and said "Father You Teach Me" I don't believe in Religions now.
Jesus also said you could go to the Father and make request using his name . Many Religions also believe you can call upon a Saint or what they consider a Saint. No Church has the right to make a Saint out of any one. I have found a very rewarding prayer life in doing it the way it was stated. Although I had many dreams come true prior to doing that, and I had seen my own spirit in 1972 , I wanted to know more. I prayed that I never became so that I felt I could run off with all the answers to Create a Religion that only causes more problems. I now know that you can not stop and make a proclamation for that growth continues, and may never be to the point of know it all. My prayer is that all stop fighting over Religions , and that all find that Spirit from within.

Hi Panluma.
My rusty exegesis is whisprering that the Our Father is in the most primitive layers of Mark (the 1st written).
It likely was in Mark's collection?
Sam might know.Sam?

A: Hi, I'm new here. I am on my own spiritual quest for truth. I read and research quite a lot, but I have a lot to learn still. The more I learn, the more I realize there is so much more to learn.
Here's my attempted answer to the above question re the Lords Prayer:
Two versions of the Lords Prayer occur in the New Testament, one in the Gospel of Matthew 6:9–13 as part of the discourse on ostentation, a section of the Sermon on the Mount, and the other in the Gospel of Luke 11:2–4.
Source Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord's_Prayer
--------------------------------
Since the Gospel of Mark was written, around 70 AD, Matthew and Luke, written shortly after Mark's (c. 80-85 AD), and the Gospel of John (125 AD), it's very difficult to know what exactly was actually said by Jesus, and what was only attributed to Jesus. I have read that only approximately 15% of the New Testament is actually words of Jesus.
Has anyone else any thoughts on the authenticity of the New Testament?
Peace and Love,
Ixkin

Hi Lxkin.
Welcome to "our" forum.
We are an ecclectic group. Catholic, Irish, Muslim, Protestant, Humanist, Thomasine, some with studies, others with a lot of reading, and others with just a wonderful well of human living experience.
We disagree, often, but we seem to keep the conversation going.
As the father in the parable of the prodigal son says to his eldest son,
we seem to adopt the rule that
" being together" is was is important, regardless of our
different beliefs.
And, as you rightly note, a degree in theology does not mean
correct answers. I can still read and understand complexe
exegesis, but I am now hazy on specifics, as I have been away
from the field of Bible lit analysis for 16 years now.
I thought part of the Lord's Prayer was in Mark.
Was even sure of it... Will have to pull out old
faithful (my Jerusalem brick) (my Bible) and
refresh my memory.
This is a prayer only page, but welcoming someone new
is a prayer of celebration.
So, welcome.
See you on the other pages.

A: "Indeed, the absence of feminine symbolism for God marks Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in striking contrast to the world's other religious traditions, whether in Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, and Rome, or in Africa, India, and North America, which abound in feminine symbolism. . . ."
['She' was first... 'He' came later...]
"The Greek terminology for the Trinity, which includes the neuter term for spirit (pneuma) virtually requires that the third "Person" of the Trinity be asexual. But the author of the Secret Book has in mind the Hebrew term for spirit, ruah, a feminine word; and so concludes that the feminine "Person" conjoined with the Father and Son must be the Mother. The Secret Book goes on to describe the divine Mother: . . . (She is) . . . the image of the invisible, virginal, perfect spirit . . . She became the Mother of everything, for she existed before them all, the mother-father [matropater] . . .
The Gospel to the Hebrews likewise has Jesus speak of "my Mother, the Spirit." In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus contrasts his Earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, with his divine Father - the Father of Truth - and his divine Mother, the Holy Spirit."

Random House NY, 1989, p. 48-52.

A: I kind of like that Sassy
If I told you all that I had seen, you may make some sense out of it. I had seen a man bi locate, and I think he knew he did it. But the first time I saw him was listening to Deepak and the next time was at about 4:00am and more spirit like with an egg shaped light surrounding him with blue trim. I think that is where that secret concept of the Egg Born came from , in east and Easter Eggs in West.

July 9th, 1980. T'was on that night, 28 years ago, I was a kid, staying at Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai. In the pitch black, I walked out to the bus where the Palestinian driver and guide were sipping tea at desert's edge. I approached. The driver pulled out a stool children sit on and motioned to me to sit. He poored tea for me.
"Are you going to sing again tonight out in the desert?"
"After tea."
"Don't go far. You'll get lost."
" I will not! I can see the li-"
"He knows you can see the lights. He wants you to stay within ear shot so he can hear you."
...
" Well, good night then. Shoukran for the tea."
...
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
One day maybe I'll be mother and child
Love you already, tender baby and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
My boyfriend and I had conceived the previous winter.
I'd lost it.
Months later, I sang my supplication in the desert.
It would take 11 years, but my baby would come.
At this moment, my child sleeps in her room.
I give thanks this night.
