Prayers needed. This is my sweet ginger kitty Sundance. He was a feral that I trapped 11 years ago. He used to live inside a hollowed out cactus. This loving and playful boy has been slowing down as he ages (age unknown). The last 2 weeks he has started losing weight despite eating and drinking. He doesn't play and on Wednesday I discovered a large lump in his neck/throat. We have a vet appointment next Tuesday morning. Please keep him in your thoughts. I can't bare to lose yet another pet. Between the ex's abuse and destroying my animals and then losing one a year for the last 6 years to cancer.... I can't do it again. This boy has a lot of life in him and a lot to live for. Thank you
And she washed away her sins in one fell swoop. What is it with water? If Lady Macbeth couldn't get it out, why do you suppose you can?
Man twirling a beautiful silver prayer wheel with one hand and fingering prayer beads with the other at the Gustor festival, Spituk Gompa, Leh, Ladakh. The prayer wheel contains a long circular scroll twined around the centre containing prayers/mantras. Each revolution of the prayer wheel is as meritorious as reading the inscription aloud as many times as it is written on the scroll. The mantra Om Mane Padme Hum is frequently chanted at the same time the wheel is twirled. A shadow of the ornate monastery roof line appears on the wall.

HI ALL, To my AMAZEMENT!! I was able to get on the internet right now!! No clue why I haven’t been able to for more then a month. No clue how long I can stay on or if I will be able to get back on anytime soon.
My health is oretty lousy with allergies on top and pretty bad to. No covid I have been tested more then once. The guy in the next apartment seems likely to have covid, but refuses to be tested or mask up or isolate and the building doesn’t seem to be able to do anything. Guy next door says it isn’t his problem if anyone gets it they were ment to get it.
Anyway I have been stuck in my apartment due to health so I haven’t encountered him much so that is a good thing.
How are you all doing?? I hope well!! Enjoying life?? Doing anything fun this summer??
I better send this while I hopefully can.
Please take care and prayers for you all.
I hope you are all well. :)

I do force this old body out for walks when i can and of course I need food so to get grocerys a very painful difficult thing to do. Ordering them to be dilivered is not affordable for me and not have internet accesse makes that not possible even if i could. But getting out some is good and thus these two pictures.
Hugs all. No clue when I'll be on again.

I believe these are written prayers within Tibetan Buddhism but I'm not sure which "culture village" this was part of. It wasn't in the Tibet area of the park but I know that culture is stong also in neighbouring provinces and peoples.
Please let me know if I'm totally off base here.

Nepal is a country where religious activities to a large extent take place outdoors in busy public places.
Before the day’s activities, a prayer is given. Interesting series of events found this photo uploaded to a European database without my knowledge or approval. The amount of hatred and condemnation that this photo received made me proud, however I have since had it pulled. I suppose American patriotism, religion and Americana in general annoys the average European.

May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.

said its prayers.”

Symbolism and Tradition
Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to 'gods,' a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
By hanging flags in high places the "Wind Horse" will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the Mantras.
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle.
The Indian Buddhist Sutras, written on cloth in India, were transmitted to other regions of the world. These sutras, written on banners, were the origin of prayer flags. Legend ascribes the origin of the prayer flag to the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose prayers were written on battle flags used by the devas against their adversaries, the asuras. The legend may have given the Indian bhikku a reason for carrying the 'heavenly' banner as a way of signifying his commitment to ahimsa. This knowledge was carried into Tibet by 800 CE, and the actual flags were introduced no later than 1040 CE, where they were further modified. The Indian monk Atisha (980-1054 CE) introduced the Indian practice of printing on cloth prayer flags to Tibet and Nepal.
Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, and the Five Pure Lights and are arranged from left to right in a specific order. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana:
* Blue (symbolizing sky/space)
* White (symbolizing air/wind)
* Red (symbolizing fire)
* Green (symbolizing water)
* Yellow (symbolizing earth)
For centuries, Boudhanath Stupa has been an important pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. So, prayer flags hung there are particularly auspicious - but they don't hang themselves!
Our guide bought us a bundle, so we could write our own wishes an them, and watch as they were mounted on the massive temple.

Najczystsze przysmaki taniec namiętności harmonijne aniołów śpiewających Brytania,

Taken inside the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. My aunt lit a candle and said a prayer. It was a beautiful moment and place.
And everybody has a prayer
Half way between dream and desire
In inner corners proving secret
Where infinity lives
Of its very painful beauty:
One.
A ognuno la sua preghiera
A metà tra sogno e desiderio
In angoli interni segreti al mondo
Dove l'infinito vive
Della sua stessa dolorosa bellezza:
Un uno unico.

Preghiera induista sentita, su quella magica soglia tra crepuscolo e buio, per chi ha qualcosa da desiderare e sognare. E chiedere.
Bali, Indonesia, August 2013.
A much-felt hindu prayer, on the very treshold between dusk and dark, for those who have something to desire and dream of. And ask for.

A Prayer to Keep Jesus in the Center at Christmas
Lord, We worship You during this Christmas season. You are our wonderful Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). We choose to put You at the center of our family life as we celebrate Your birth. Keep us from distractions and help us to invite You into all our family activities. Teach us to pray and help us to glorify and worship You in our family during this busy time of year. Give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation that we might know You better (Ephesians 1:17).
Thank you for being Immanuel, “God with us.” Open our eyes to realize this each day as we interact with others. Help us to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as You forgave us (Ephesians 4:32). Show us creative ways to love and care for those outside our home. Fill us to overflowing with Your love for the lost. Teach us to do acts of kindness to those who are in need at this time of year. May our family be a refreshment and light to others. We ask You to touch with salvation those in our family who do not know You [Name those individuals]. Open their hearts to Your great love for them. Help us to share Your Truth and be Your light. You are the Savior of the world.
We love Your Word and choose to make it central in our family life. Your Word is alive and active—It’s sharper than any double-edged sword—It judges the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts (Hebrews 4:12). We long to align ourselves spiritually with You and Your Word every day. We want to pray your Word with Your authority, and with greater faith and obedience in our lives as we approach this New Year. We rejoice in following Your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. We meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways. We delight in Your decrees. We will not neglect Your Word. Open our eyes that we may see wonderful things in Your law. We run in the path of Your commands, for You have set our hearts free (Psalm 119:14-16, 18, 32).
Lord, we want to be passionate about the things you are passionate about. Help each member of our family to be a student of the Bible. Teach us to pray Your Word out loud in our family devotions in such a way that we see mighty spiritual breakthroughs in our home, friends, school, and workplace. Help us declare prophetic promises and decrees from Your Word. We want to experience the life-giving power of Your Word on a daily basis in our family. Show us truth in Your Word, and bring it to life through our prayers. Open the eyes of our hearts that we may be enlightened in order to know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of our glorious inheritance in You and Your incomparable great power (Ephesians 1:18-19). In Jesus’ name, amen.

And deliver us from evil and the snare of the god of this world, of materialism, of excess, of self fulfillment...that we would bring honor to Your name, and Your name only. In Jesus Name!!
Grazie a Barbara Fiore che mi ha dato l'idea di riproporre in B/N questa mia foto e di proporvi la canzone cantata da Celentano davanti a Papa Giovanni Paolo II.
Sotto la foto postata da Barbara invece c'era Stan by me " cantata, tra gli altri, da Granpa Elliot" acappella:

ADRIANO CELENTANO CANTA "PREGHERO'" , DAVANTI A GIOVANNI PAOLO II.
PREGHERO'
(versione di Stand by me)
Pregherò per te
che hai la notte nel cuor
e se tu lo vorrai crederai.
Io lo so perché
tu la fede non hai,
ma se tu lo vorrai crederai.
Non devi odiare il sole
perché tu non puoi vederlo ma c'é
ora splende su di noi, su di noi.
Dal castello del silenzio
egli vede anche te,e già sento
che anche tu lo vedrai.
E chissà se lo vedrai
solo con gli occhi miei
ed il mondo la sua luce riavrà.
Io t'amo, t'amo, t'amo
questo é il primo segno
che da la tua fede
nel Signor, nel Signor.
ENGLISH VERSION
I WILL PRAY
(version of Stand by Me)
I will pray for you
You have blackness in your heart
And if you want to believe Him.
I know why
You do not have faith,
But you want to believe.
Do you hate the sun
Because your eyes can not see it
But there it is shining
It now shines on you and on us.
From the fortress of silence
He also sees you, and I know already
That you will see
And who knows if we'll see
Only with my eyes
And the world will regain its light.
I love you, love you, love you
This is the first sign
That your faith
In the Lord, the Lord

L'ULTIMO MESSAGGIO DEL 25 SETTEMBRE 2011
Quote of the day ( 25 settembre 2011 )
"Cari figli, Oggi, figlioli, vi invito, ad essere con Gesù attraverso la preghiera, per poter scoprire la bellezza delle creature di Dio tramite l'esperienza personale nella preghiera. Non potete parlare né testimoniare della preghiera se non pregate, perciò, figlioli, nel silenzio del cuore rimanete con Gesù, perché Lui vi cambi e vi trasformi con il Suo Amore."

A prayer wheel is a cylindrical "wheel" on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.
