09/02/2024, Prince of Chumphon Monument, Phra Tamnak Mountain Viewpoint, Pattaya, Chon Buri, Thailand.
Buddhist make-merit day.
This lady arrived with her boyfriend to make offerings and prayers to her ancestors & Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, Prince of Chumphon (19 December 1880 – 19 May 1923).
This day was the day before Chinese New Year celebrations commenced (for the Year of the Dragon!) and is make merit day for many Thai people, especially those of Chinese descent.
There are numerous ways to make merit:
Dressing in red and gold clothes.
Giving red coloured envelopes containing money (ang pao) to friends & family.
Burning incense.
Paying respect to Chinese gods or ancestors.
Taking flowers, and offering prayers, food and drinks at shrines.
Donating food, drink or money to Monks.
Paying for firecrackers to be set off, in order to deter evil spirits
Making merit brings good and agreeable results, determines the quality of the next life, and contributes to a person's growth towards enlightenment - according to Buddhist principles.
From the Lord of Grace prayer retreat, April 20, 2024.
I can't take any of the credit for this; it was my wonderful and super-talented prayer team that set all this up, including making the laybyrinth from scratch. I'm hoping they can make this simple morning event an annual thing.
Praying together during the blessing of our rings. Our wedding was far from traditional Chinese, and not as organized as any American wedding I've attended. We were all laid back, no chairs were arranged except for her parent's. Everything except the question of "Who gives this bride away?" was in English. We had prayers, scripture everything that was important to us.
Prayer For Peace
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace ehere there is hatred.
Let me sow love: where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master grant that I may seek no so much to be consoled as to console:
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we recieve;
It is pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen"
Saw this prayer on the wall, and thought it was nice. I'm not religous to say the least, but for some reason this one caught my eye. :]

These are the hands of a Grandfather praying for his grandson. Prayers for a cure, for a long life with no complications, for a chance to be healthy, happy and himself. My dad prays for all of his grandkids but there are always special prayers for Daniel and his diabetes.

Each fall I make prayer stones with the new Confirmants name on them to put in church.
This we use mostly for silent prayer, I tuch them when I pass by and send a small prayer to the Lord for them all or one. Other times we might use them more active in service, like coming Sunday when the confirmant themselves get to hold them in their hand and put them on the altar.
the prayer room was in a beautiful old building, here you can see some of the stain glass as well as a part of the white tent, which was marked "holy of holies" the only area in the prayer room not covered with writing
