"Prayer, we like to hope, is a moment of true speaking. At that instant we become the words we say.There is no deception, no ego to defend, no manufactured self." Prayer means many different things to different people. At its most basic level, it is the manifestation of hope in human beings. Prayer is amazingly effective. In prayer one sends their thoughts, best intentions, and Will into the cosmos of our reality. In sending the energies of Love and Hope to another person, one gives the greatest gift one can give in life. In this giving, one gives their own essence and spiritual forces to the consciousness and well being of another. It can bring us and others to a complete revolution in the consciousness and the body. This kind of inner belief is the key to real spiritual power. Intrinsic belief has the capacity to spark major personal enrichment in every area of life including dramatic improvements in physical health, emotional well-being, and fitness. This small section of our community is a visual manifestation of our care and regard for one another. It matters not if it is a call to heal, protect, strengthen, or simply a moment of thankfullness... it is still a loving act of willful intent. Prayers come from the heart and soul, they reach out and connect us to one another and the Divine, it is through this knowledge that we affect each and every life our prayers touch.
