The belief in the overreaching power of prayer is based on the
philosophy of metaphysics. The Church believes that goodwill in prayer for
others and good intentions e.g. for peace is transmuted through God to others
and their well-being is strengthened and their interests protected and
cherished.
Prayer builds up mental resources, enables
us to recover from psychological trauma, suffering and loss and recuperates us
in moral strength.
Moral consistency or spiritual strength is not an instant solution to
psychological suffering, oppression and the injury done by evil men in
terrorist groups or self-financed bodies of violent, armed men. It does, however, over a long period of regular church attendance,religious devotion and
constant prayer, lead to significant psychological improvement for those written
off as psychiatric cannon-fodder at the behest of the doctors.
Fasting and charity copper-fasten mental medicine. Christian social etiquette must always be based on giving. The Protestant churches do
not pay attention to the Letter of James about faith in God and good works as the
centrepiece of their ideas. The Presbyterians are particularly
unsympathetic to others and reduce everything to the legal contractual nexus.
Jesus in the Gospels makes it clear that
charity is essential to the Christian belief system.

Call it a rosary prayer,a chakra,a mantra,a recitation of verses of the Koran or an om in Buddhism,ritual prayer sets the mind to rest when carried on over a long period.
Similarly, prayer,ritual prayer,expiates guilt,fear of failure and the spectre of moral sickness and death.
The Christian faith keeps evil spirits and the Beast,the Prince of this World,in his lonely eyrie well away from doing harm and bringing about chaos or a demonic state of mind or spiritual and moral death. The Devil's followers are those who idolise Mammon.

How to pray?
Jesus says,"Go into your room and pray in private because God who sees everything, sees you and will reward you...."
Jesus's prayer is The Our Father and he elliterates it in the Gospels...
But,the cribber says,"Did Jesus not go into the Synagogue at Nazareth and take down The Book of The Law and begin to read from Isaiah....and visit the Temple at the Feast of The Passover...and do not the disciples such as St. Paul regularly visit synagogues to preach after his Ascension...."
Yes, but if you do not want to be "taken up to the precipice above the town and thrown off because they were so enraged", take Jesus's advice and if you must go into a church, honour what he said... namely do it on your own and pray on your own....
The Hail Mary? Why?
Because as the Mother of God,she has the ear of him who will sit to judge the living and the dead at the end of time....
Therefore,pray the Our Father and the Hail Mary for balance and to conquer evil, particularly the evil represented by war, terror and violence....

Guilt. Redemption
Prayer is the only medicine for sexual excess and easy living and sinful living.
Is one faith better than the other?
Jesus teaches,,"In my Father's house there are many mansions..."
Remember in your prayers the suffering souls who have not yet come to judgement.
The fool who equates man with God,the Arian heresy,says,"You are judged twice,once in this life and once in the afterlife."
No affirmatively,no. There is but one judgement with prebendary power and effect. That is eternal judgement.
The fool fears retribution. Take a cue from St. Paul,"Tell the truth and you shall have no problem with the Law i.e. secular authority".
And if St. Paul said it,allowing for the frailties of all men and the imperfections of saints,it must be good advice for those before the courts.

"Prayer is all very well until you meet someone who doesn't pray. That person doesn't understand what you are talking about. He doesn't understand Christian charity or goodwill or holistic healing or following the Christian path or any other path. You'll soon learn that if you go to France or go back to Germany because those countries have changed for the worse since De Valera's day. Anyone who had any manners in Germany retired years ago or is long dead. That's what Jesse Lavin was trying to teach you with that book by Robert Graves [Goodbye to All That].You have a long-standing affinity to the Germans which PJ Fox told the authorities about. Everyone's laughing at you because you didn't bring him to court for mocking you. Cody only speaks your teachers at Saint Michael's part. Until you bring them all to court, you'll have no rest. It was them who told the police to keep a close eye on you because they were in contact with your ex-schoolmates and Colton about you."

On this theme of psychological improvement and mental recovery from trauma as represented by violence,crime and the police occult,let us remember what is called in our parish,"regaining the power of speech" (Monsignor O Reilly).
Demoniacs and those who mix with murderers and criminals lose the power of speech or adopt obscene language what head-shrinks call Terrett's Syndrome.
Leaving aside the issue of medical parasitism,how might the power of speech be regained?
Firstly, by avoiding bad company. Then,reproach yourself for vulgar and coarse language. Then when you have stopped using obscene language and coarse and disrespectful speech,reproach others and as in the case of a contested will,"go to court" and "bring your witnesses ".
To a tramp such as Day-Cody with her pervert's tongue,avoid.
We all know at this stage that Day-Cody's life will end in great tragedy and a sickening end.
As the Reformers recognise,God allows us free will and conscience and Day-Cody has chosen the path of Poisoning,Filth and Indecency.
She took over on the Fermanagh case list of the psychiatric prison-and-poisoning system in the eighties. Regardless of your religion,go to your local cemetery and see the ages on the gravestones of those who have died. Then, you can come back to me and tell me that you are a believer in the medical occult and that is curative if you do wish. DON'T artifice a meeting with me in a street or in a carpark or while out driving to give me your views because I do not accept them AND I KNOW what I am talking about. You do NOT and have been sold a pup.
Remember when it comes to foul and abusive speech of any kind,"The mouth speaks what the heart is full of".
When even Jews pull on sackcloth and ashes,there is a need for penance and true contrition. True contrition requires the supplicant to make a resolution not to make the same mistake again. Doctors,take note.
Sober speech without profanity is a sign of a sane mind. Hindus and those who follow cults, extreme sects or nonsense such as psychiatry and psychoanalysis in so far as it diverges from observations on trauma, anxiety or depression clearly do not. They like hysterical females who hang on to their every word must be brought to their senses. If they will not remain quiet when instructed,threaten or abuse physically,then they must be silenced by other means and thrown out of 'heaven' by our temporal avengers. The chaos in the lives of 202 000 labelled "mentally ill" by Sinn Fein politicians and British Army doctors and Indian lunatics must be brought to an end.
It is clear that truth can only be saved by virtue and the expungement of the Freudian-induced psychosis and paraphrenia from our society.
Speak up in prayer, articulate your phrases properly and don't counsel or procure acknowledgement for those who are anti-Christian heretics such as doctors and medical and nursing demons.
