The Lords Prayer

All of us who have studied in christian run schools are sure to remember the Lords Prayer, whether or not we remember the "Charge of the Light Brigade" of Tennyson or the 13 times tables (upto 20). Link to the poem.

Several 'versions' of the prayer have come into existence owing to the genius of creative persons over time, who have modified it for their specific domain.

Surya of Barnyarns has posted a bloggers version of the Lords prayer. Makes for interesting reading.

PS: It is not a regular post, but appears in the right sidebar of her blog.
PPS: The original source of this prayer is Andrew as acknowledged by Surya. Sorry for this oversight.

prayers are from the heart..whatever you say as a prayer is what you tell your self to do..sometimes there are things like mantras(mantra=a word which has been meditated upon)which aren't prayers but the language of the hearts and messengers of nature(sun,sky,wind,fire,earth and water)..they help in understanding our selves...i was abt to blog abt this but my computer had a problem..now i know why..i hadn't read this..for a picture to be complete it requires the last drop paint.-too much it is over done and spoilt.
amen.

the poem by tennyson is amazing-the thing which is required of us is the dertermination to die-if you are scared you die everyday..

Hi Visitor!

I just discovered why I had no comments on my new blog - because they were sitting in a folder waiting to be approved. Sorry you were left sitting there for so long. So the answer to your question - why do I not allow comments - was because I never knew I had any!

I hope you'll be back to comment lots in the future. :)

Are you inspired by the prayer?
To tell you something, this prayer has inspired me a lot, chanting of which i felt too boring, but somehow transforming me[ to something :-)]. I felt happy to see your blog regarding the same!
