  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

As some of you may have noted, I sometimes have a bit of trouble with English. Most of the time everything goes fine, and I even get compliments. ((which make me very happy, so keep them comming. )) I learned English in highschool, and perfected it by daily use of the internet in roleplay, reading a lot in English and talking to English speaking friends.
Religion however, is not a topic I discuss that often, except in general terms. And in using this board, I've noticed a lot of the times I simply don't know the English word for something that I do or see.

My question of today is something that I would litterally translate as a 'bullet prayer', or a 'fire prayer'. Even I know that it doesn't sound right. *LOL*
What is the name for a quick prayer you send up in the middle of the day, mostly just a one sentence thing. A quick request to God, a quick offering of something, a quick word of gratitude.
'Thank You LORD'.
'Lord have mercy'
'Lord protect us'.. etc..

BTW: your English is great. The Dutch are absolutely the best in English as a second language.

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] (or aspiration) is a short prayer that one says from time to time.

e.g.:
Jesus, Mary, I love you. Save souls.
Scared Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
O Sacrament most Holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thamksgiving be evry moment thine.
I am all Thine...
or just: Jesus. (The Jesus Prayer)
etc.

*smiles* Thank you, Aaron-Aggie. And thank you, Michelina! *ss* I am Belgian, and my language is Dutch. *L* Perhaps it has something to do with being raised in a country with 3 official languages.
And thank you all the others. I often have these very small prayers during the course of the day, offering things up to God, in grattitude, or in a request for help, seems to... keep Him closer to me at all times.
