Prayer is a universal element of Human Nature.
Prayer comes in many ways irrespective of creed and culture. It is ingrained in the rationality of the human being, emanating from a deep source which we cannot fully grasp. It is by believing in something beyond our comprehension that undermines our ignorance, arguably but true, as a unifying factor of humanity.

1 - “Gaze at life in Me the second time”
Gaze at life in Me the second time,
whatever the past had been;
a new beginning is what matters now,
most beautiful you’ve never seen.
Touch Me now that I am risen,
with your mind, heart and soul,
for you have chosen the path
of life with Heaven its goal.
Redeemer of our postmodern world,
We come to You, our Recourse
To find peace and accord
On life’s rugged course.
Author's Note: Apo Resurreccion (Ilk) is a wooden icon of the resurrected Christ which has withstood the ravages of typhoons, earthquakes and the atrocities of the Second World War at the author's family residence. Prayers are offered by quests who visit the place, which is gradually being developed into a Living with Nature Center cum Botanical Garden, in San Vicente Ilocos Sur. Articles linked with the features of the Center can be sourced out in this Blog avrotor.blogspot.com
2 - Prayer to Mary, Mother of Christ,
on her Feastday, December 8
Religious icons, Ateneo de Manila University campus, Quezon City
Oh, mother immaculate, mother of mercy,
look at us as one humanity,
and bestow the grace of hope and capacity
to rise above sin and agony;
so that we shall attain courage to stand free
and face the world in humility;
make each of us your instrument of unity
in likeness of the Holy Family,
make us the builders of a State of Sanctity
where reign love, peace and harmony. ~
3 - Take me from this world a moment
Statue of Blessed Fr Pio, Lipa City
Take me from this world a moment
To be with you in this holy event;
From Your seat to down below I see
My friends, my enemies, and me. ~
