Prayer is a loving conversation between God and man. When a person prays, there is an experience in the minds of humans where heaven and earth symbolically meet or unite. In 2nd Chronicles 7/15, we read, My eyes and ears will be open to the prayers that arise from here. All our prayers are formed from the Holy Word. If my people who bear my name seek me, humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear their prayers from heaven, forgive their sins, and bless their land. When a person’s prayer is accepted before God, not only is that person blessed, but the land is also blessed; this is the promise of the Lord. Psalm 145/13 Lord Faithful in promises and merciful in deeds. This book is a collection of prayers suitable for overcoming any kind of crisis we face in life through prayer. May this prayer jour- ney become a guiding light for everyone to stay close to God in our joy and sorrow and find comfort!!!

The Fifth Edition prayer book is being published under the name of the Power of Prayer. The author has used prayers and styles that are very different from those in the previous editions. This book is a guiding light for those who want to live spiritually, or, to put it more clearly, to be worthy of the “eternal gift” to make life easier. It contains the essence of the authentic teachings of the Church and also includes the prayers of daily worship used in the Church in ancient times, the Way of the Cross, and an easy way to meditate on the history of salvation in a very short time. It is very desirable that each of our actions and prayers may be for the glory of God and the good of our brothers.

(“Ps. 115:1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and thy truth’’) God, out of His great love for mankind, has willed to be with them through the Holy Eucha- rist until the end of the world. The temple where the Holy Eucha- rist is established is heaven on earth. It is very difficult for the lay faithful, who desire to offer unceas- ing worship and praise to the Lord Christ, who dwells ever in the Holy Eucharist, to find a book that is arranged in such a way that they can sit in constant adoration and prayer for a long time. In this era of the proliferation of prayer books, there was a need for a long version of the daily prayers used in the Church in ancient times, a way of the cross, a collection of short prayers, a shortcut to meditate on the entire history of salvation (parithranakarma) together, and a concise form containing the prayers that a person must know. The above is an idea that arose from my personal need or from 30 years of prayer life. In addition, the authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church, many things related to the Holy See, and some devotional songs have been added to make this book a huge collection. Another special feature of this book is that its copies are com- pletely free.
