We are thinking of you.
Why are #Prayer, #Fasting and #Almsgiving especially important during #Lent?
PRAYER: Without Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are merely actions we do out of tradition without much meaning. Prayer is our conversation with God. It is through prayer that we find the strength to fast. It is through Prayer that we develop a closer, more intimate relationship with God. This relationship makes us so grateful for the blessings HE has bestowed upon us, that we eagerly give to those less fortunate than us. The Church, in its wisdom, understands that Prayer is essential to any action we Christians may undertake.
FASTING: Fasting is one of the most ancient actions linked to Lent. Fasting rules have changed through the ages, but throughout Church history Fasting has been considered sacred. The prophet Isaiah insists that Fasting without changing our behavior is not pleasing to God. Therefore, the goal of Fasting is linked with prayer. The pangs of hunger remind us of our hunger for God, and prayer and Fasting together brings us to what Lent is about - a deeper conversion.
ALMSGIVING: It should be obvious by now, that Almsgiving is simply a response by us to God, a response that we have come to through prayer and fasting. It is an expression of our gratitude for all that God has given us, and a realization that in the Body of Christ, it is never just "me and God." Through prayer and fasting we come to a deeper understanding that the needs of all are the responsibility of all in the Body of Christ. Works of charity and the promotion of justice are integral elements of the Christian way of life we began when we were baptized.

You are looking at a Buddhist prayer wheel I found walking the back alleys of Kathmandu. The inside of the wheel contains prayers written by monks on scrolls. It is believed that 500 prayers go into the heavans for each rotation of the wheel. You can see the sitting Buddha in the back right. Kathamandu is a city where you find Hinduism and Buddhism.
This was inspired by a couple of postings from February and August 2009 on JSIM. This is the front of a card I made for a teacher. You can see another card front idea titled teachers prayer 1 and the inside in teachers prayer 3. Or all together here...http://ferrellgraph-x.blogspot.com/2010/10/teachers-prayer.html

Look what I got!
"God's holy blessing POWER is in the enclosed anointed PRAYER RUG we are loaning you to use!"
My personalized letter said:
"Dear ... Someone Connected with this Address," (How did they know?)
They placed this important paper object in my "care for these next 24 important hours".
I was instructed to go into a room where I could be alone, kneel on this "rug", or spread it over my knees. Pray for my needs, making sure to touch it to both knees.
Then I was to check off the needs I had (such as "Pray for God to bless me with this amount of money: $______________), and return the prayer rug to them: "You must get this Bible Prayer Rug back to us so we can rush it onto another family that's in need of a blessing. Do this without fail. Please do not break this flow of power between us."
As you stare at Jesus' eyes, they are supposed to open. We tried and tried (this photo is from that project), but saw nothing. And I never returned the rug. Pretty sure I'm going to hell now.
Select quotes from people that used the rug successfully:
"God blessed me with over $5,000." C.D.
"Received $10,000 in a financial blessing." E.C.S.
"God made it possible for us to buy 17 acres of land." R.T.
Isn't there something really touching and spiritually uplifting about people who exploit God?

This is a historical site in East Africa which has a big history about the coming and establishment of the Arabian rule and slave trade. The place is called Bagamoyo which is a Swahili word meaning "Here I rest my heart", it's a small town along the East African coast. The African slaves used to say those words crying for their lost freedom and abuse against humanity in their very own land.
Saying prayers here is a way of telling our fore fathers that we, their children, are free again, and we are still fighting against mental slavery.
Long live history!
