plenty of excellent books about prayer‚ and‚ in fact‚ Father Jacques Philippe has already written a book on prayer‚ Time for God. Philippe stated in the introduction of his latest novel addressing prayer Thirsting for Prayer published in New Rochelle‚ NY by Scepter in 2014‚ “[that he] was not planning on writing another” (v).

Prayer needs to be reinstated back into schools Allowing prayer back into our schools will help shape and mode the younger generations into mature ethical adults.

For generations‚ children have said the Pledge of Allegiance in school‚ but many people might not know that the

Reflection on the Lord’s Prayer The Christological heresy of Apollinarianism and the Trinitarian heresy of Dynamic Monarchianism compromise Jesus’ divinity‚ humanity‚ and unity. A belief that compromises Jesus’ divinity‚ humanity‚ or unity is an outright denial of the incarnation. A denial of the incarnation of Jesus Christ distorts Jesus’ unity with the Father and sinners; which therefore distorts the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer as the Church would pray it‚ (Work “Loving Jesus the Wrong

Worshipping has never been a problem in our history‚ it is a wholesome practice that is not meant to offend anyone‚ and freedom of religion is a First Amendment

Is Prayer a waste of time? Prayer is not a waste of time because; it helps people to be calm about their feelings. They feel comforted and that someone is always listening to them. It helps some people relax‚ centre‚ and really think through their desires and troubles. This also makes me think about how James said that faith without action is dead. Prayer may not always be answered the way you expect it to be answered. For example you ask God to make you more patient. God may not make you more
