St. Peter Parish Rosary Program The word prayer evolved from the Latin word precari meaning to plead or ask. It was used in Middle English to “ask earnestly”, therefore we think of prayer as asking for something, but properly understood, it is to communicate our faith, our love, and our wants with God, the Angels, or the Saints. Many, including Catholics, find it odd to speak of praying to Angels or Saints, but if we understand what prayer truly means, we should recognize that there is no problem here. The problem is that some confuse prayer with worship, while knowing that worship belongs to God alone. Whereas Christian worship includes prayer, and some prayers are written as a form of worship, prayer is not worship. When we pray to God we must come to Him in humility (Jm 4:10), in truth (Ps 145:18), in obedience (1 Jn 3:21-22), with thanksgiving (Phil 4:6), and with confidence (Heb 4:16). Pray the Rosary daily! Rosary Program Update St. Peter Parish Rosary Program tally through March 15, 2019: 29,001. St. Peter Parish Library "And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and piety and fear of the Lord."
