My Mother's Book of Prayers

By Julian Gyula Andorka

Prayers are means of communication with the Lord. Most of them have the bless you and thank you format. For that you wont need my book. You know better than me on how to convey your thanks and praises. But when you are praying to consult the Lord and are asking for guidance and advice, for approval and support, the book might come handy.

Many people prefer to talk to emissaries who are sometimes as close as the house where you worship on Sundays. When you prefer to call the Lord directly, this book may help. He sent this message through one of his emissary:

CALL TO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU
(Jeremiah 33:3)

THE TRANSLATION

…. is not a literal word for word translation. Not even the best Hungarian poet could do that with the plays of Shakespeare. He translates the essence of Shakespeare’s sentences into Hungarian poetry. I am not a poet. I can’t write poetry, but can absorb my Mother’s prayers and communicate the essence of almost every one of them in plain English.

I believe that my basic concept of God might be acceptable by all of the major religions with theological and regional modification. There is only one God for all of us, above us. When he comes down to listen and talk to you, he resides in Christian and Hebrew souls and Moslem and Buddhist hearts.

Clergies of various religions when presenting the Lord with different attributes do that to humanize him, because in some parts of the globe he has to be strict and more disciplinary to be feared and obeyed, while in other parts society is hoping for a loving and forgiving father who joins them to talk.

In Rome and in Mecca people follow different traditions and laws that guide their worships of the Lord. That doesn’t change the beliefs that there is only one God for all Religions to love and respect.

Antagonists and atheists will say that all this is hogwash. There is no God. Evolution created the world and our mind shaped it into what it is today. Mind over heart and soul is their credo. To them compassion is a word for weakness. They never had a conversation with the Lord. They never prayed.

They only victimized others they preyed on. I feel sorry for them, because they never learned how beautiful life can be. I am 90 years old this year, living by a simple principle: Love Your Lord the Almighty and love your neighbors as you love yourself. Living has been a delight for me.

Here is a story of an outcast of society whose life has been disgusting to a point. She was badly abused as a child, thrown out of the house as a young teenager, using her body trying to earn money to pay for food and for a bed in half-way houses. She has grown into an attractive woman charging men as much as the market will bear. She bought a pre-fabricated home and a used car in good condition, but she was still disgusted with her life, when the accident happened. She became
