  • Prayer In School
    366 words
    Prayer in Schools I feel prayer should be re-established in America's schools. There is a strong belief in God by the government, so our schools should also support that idea. Many use prayer as a guidance tool. It gives a lot of students something to believe in and a sense of hope. They can turn to prayer for help and understanding in difficult situations. National officials, students, and churches use prayer; schools should be allowed to use it as well. God is recognized as the "universal supr...

  • York's Establishment Of Its Regents Prayer
    1,547 words
    SUMMARY Engle vs. Vitale was the first case brought to the Supreme Court that used the establishment clause to remove religious activities that until this point had been used as a part of public observances. The First Amendment bars any enforcement of any law "respecting an establishment of religion" and the Fourteenth Amendment makes this applicable to the States. For that reason, state officials can not write an official state prayer and require that it be recited in the public schools, even i...

    Public Prayers at High School Sporting Events The Supreme Court has just received Santa Fe vs. the people, in this case the students was banned from saying a prayer at a foot ball game. The constitution protects the right to free speech. Therefore, there is no reason for this case to have come up in the first place. If someone does not want to hear a prayer, they do not have to listen to it. If I were the judge I would rule that banning prayer at school events is unconstitutional. The first reas...

  • Baptist Church Experience
    746 words
    I decided to go to a Baptist Church here in Miami. The reason that I chose Coral Park Baptist Church was because most Baptist Churches that I called here in Miami had the service in Spanish but Coral Park Baptist had an English service as well.

There is the main temple that has the regular service in Spanish and then there is a whole other building that has separate classrooms where the English service is hel...

We have the opportunity to share our concerns, fears, needs and desires with the Almighty. The quality of our prayer ...
  • Mass And The Charismatic Prayer Meeting
    691 words
    Charismatic Prayer By Neil Clemens When I pray, I usually stop and contemplate what I need to pray about or think about what I need to pray for.

The prayer that stuck out most to me is the one where you say simple holy words in a loving manner, such as "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, save souls". I've heard that every time you say "Jesus" three times, it relieves some soul in purgatory. Pretty wonderful how we...
