👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾What #Should We #Pray? (Part 10) Beloved in Christ, grace and peace to you. Prayer is the breath of the soul, the ladder that unites earth with heaven, the bond that ties the heart of man to the throne of God. If we neglect prayer, we starve the soul; if we cultivate it, we grow in communion with the Lord, with His saints, and with His holy angels. So then, the question is rightly asked: What should we pray? The holy tradition of the Church has not left us in darkness, but has handed down to us prayers filled with the Holy Spirit—prayers of the righteous, prayers of the saints, prayers from the very mouth of God Himself in the Holy Scriptures. Let us then look deeply at the treasures that have been placed in our hands. 1. The praise of Mary and Daily Prayers Daily Prayer Daily Praise of Mary Anqetse Birhan The Angels praise her (Ywedswa Melaekt ) Our Father 2. The Psalms The Psalms are all prayers. The daily schedule is as follows: Monday: Psalms 1–30 Tuesday: Psalms 31–60 Wednesday: Psalms 61–80 Thursday: Psalms 81–110 Friday: Psalms 111–130 Saturday: Psalms 131–150; Psalms of Solomon Sunday: Prophetic Prayers If it is not possible to pray all the daily psalms: Pray ten psalms each day. Special prayer: Psalm 118 (119):1–176. If even ten psalms are not possible, it is good to at least choose from the following: Psalm 6, Psalm 12 (13), Psalm 19 (20), Psalm 22 (23), Psalm 24 (25), Psalm 26 (27), Psalm 37 (38), Psalm 50 (51), Psalm 69 (70), Psalm 85 (86), Psalm 90 (91), Psalm 120 (121), Psalm 135 (136), Psalm 140 (141), Psalm 144 (145). 3.

Other Prayers Arganon: daily thanksgiving and supplication to Our Lady. Melkea melk'e: prayers such as Melkea Medhane Alem, Melkea silase , Melkae Eyesus, Melkea Mary, the Holy Angels Melk'e, and finally the Forty-One Kyrie Eleisons with the Lord’s Prayer (with prostrations). 7. Example of Daily Prayer Morning Daily Prayer Daily praise of Mary The Angels praise her (Ywedswa Melaekt ) Praise God of the Day Forty-One Kyrie Eleisons and the Lord’s Prayer (with prostration) Our Father Evening Anqetse Birhan Gospel of John (one or three chapters) Psalms of David (one or three psalms) Our Father When one prayer ends, it is closed with the Our Father before moving to the next. According to our time and situation, morning and evening prayers may be combined with prostration. May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always. May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us.
