Prayers are the nourishment of our faith in order to obtain peace and mercy; they offer us moments of relaxation in which we can express ourselves before our God; the prayer to the Virgin Mary reflects the devotion that must exist in every human being in order to obtain the favours we desire.
Faith
Faith, the assurance of what is hoped for and the conviction of what is not seen Hebrews 11:11: 11, we can also find another biblical text where it says that without faith it is impossible to please God, that is why leading a life of prayer requires at all times to have faith, which means that we must believe that God will work even when circumstances are adverse and everything says otherwise, there plays a very important role faith, never collapse before the bad circumstances that life presents, God will always be present as a light at the end of the road to make the impossible possible, let us approach the throne and live the happiness of being close to the Lord.
In this interesting article we will break down and teach people about the prayer to the Virgin Mary, the prayer to the Virgin of Candelaria, those who are devoted to them can learn how to address and which case corresponds to the prayers that we will leave you here. Put them into practice and remember that God will always be present in your life.
Prayer
Prayer is a conversation that we have with our Heavenly Father, who is in Heaven, with the Virgin Mary, with the Saints, with St. Jude and St. Thaddeus, and in this conversation we must concentrate, with a narrowed and humbled heart, before our Creator, thanking Him and glorifying Him, praising Him, always asking forgiveness for our sins, remembering that as human beings we sin every day and it is necessary to ask forgiveness every day from the heart so that the Father forgives us and we can be free and at peace.
Daily prayer should become a habit that is done wholeheartedly and willingly, without becoming an obligation; prayer is life, it renews and protects the family. There are different types of day prayers, night prayers, each with a different purpose, even children should be involved in them at all times, parents should be the main educators in this sense, so that their children grow up with these beautiful teachings that will be passed on from generation to generation for the salvation of souls.
Talking to God and the Virgin Mary, as well as praying to the Virgin of Mount Carmel, should be a natural act at all times, it is like having a healthy conversation with our parents, we should know that the Father wants us to tell him our complaints and sufferings, even if he knows what they are. Prayer for every believer should be his daily bread, it is his spiritual food, through prayer we can express the most hidden things of our lives, ask, unburden ourselves, talking to God is the most beautiful task of the day and we should not overlook it. We have many things to thank God for, and we must also be obedient to His Word in order to obtain the mercy we need. Watch this video
What are the prayers dedicated to the Virgin Mary?
The prayers dedicated exclusively to the Virgin Mary, as well as those dedicated to her intercessors, such as the prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes, are all expressions of that exaltation and devotion to the Mother of God who gave her body and soul to Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, who was crucified to save us from sin. Every day we should thank and honour the One who allows us to live and breathe as our Lord does, and the best way to do this is through prayer. There are three primary prayers that every devotee of the Virgin should pray at least daily, as well as the prayer to the Virgin of Juquila.
