Ісусова молитва, також відома як «Молитва серця», — це давня та прекрасна молитва християнського Сходу. Повторювана багато разів поспіль, ця молитва дозволяє нам стояти в присутності Господа, зосереджуючись на Ньому та просячи Його милосердя. Ця молитва стала неймовірним дороговказом для багатьох людей у пізнанні Господа та справжньою зброєю для участі в духовній боротьбі.

Молитва святого Єфрема: Великопостова молитва Молитва святого Єфрема — це особлива молитва Великого посту. Вона достатньо коротка, щоб її запам’ятати, і читається під час будніх великопосних богослужінь. Коли ми не можемо прийти до храму, можемо також тихо молитися нею вдома протягом дня. У цій молитві ми просимо Бога звільнити нас від усього, що віддаляє нас від Нього, і дарувати чесноти, які допомагають нам жити по-християнськи.

Українські католики вірять, що все добре походить від Бога. Молитва перед їжею — це простий спосіб подякувати Богові за їжу, яку ми отримуємо, та попросити Його благословити її. У нашій традиції до цих молитов також можна додавати інші молитви чи особисті намірення за нашу родину, близьких та тих, хто потребує допомоги.
