Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. pray when driving. pray when fighting. pray alone. pray with others. pray by night and pray by day. pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for battle.pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. pray for victory. pray for our army, and pray for peace. we must march together, all out for god.

I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while i hold by my own religion, i should hold other religions as dear as hinduism. so we can only pray, if we were hindus, not that a christian should become a hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a hindu should become a better hindu, a muslim a better muslim, and a christian a better christian.

Lord please break the laws of the universe for my convenience. amen.

The best definition i can find of faith is the dependence upon the veracity of another. the bible definition in the 11th chapter of hebrews is, 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' in other words, faith says amen to everything that god says. faith takes god without any ifs, if god says it, faith says i believe it; faith says amen to it.

I am catholic but i want to say something to the catholics. thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still catholic. these bishops of the catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the catholic church only defend oligarchy.

Amen meaneth assuredly, namely, that i am sure that petitions of this kind are accepted by my heavenly father, and heard by him, because he hath commanded us, that we should pray after this manner, and hath promised that he will hear us. amen, amen: that is, truly, certainly, so be it.
