Is God mad at us? You would think that perhaps He is since all the terrible things that are happening to our country. Theoretically that this is not the case, because this is not the way that God does things. But now I am not so sure. According to the insurance companies, they say that this an act of God when a tree falls on your house. The Natural Law of God allows this to happen.
My thinking is that God created haven and earth and although He allows this to happen that there might be a way that we might have an influence on things. When Jesus was on earth, He said that God the Father will hear us if we pray. Could this be our problem ? Did we stop praying ?
In praying we can use informal or formal prayers. Informal is like talking to God as if was in the room. However formal praters have to come from memory. This could be a problem. Most Christians know the Lord's prayer or the Our Father, and the Hail Mary. We need to use these.
In my personal praying, especially while saying the rosary, that the part about Mary's womb was a bit annoying. I am a doctor of medicine, and I felt annoyed having to talk about part of Mary's anatomy. Also in teaching small children, that phrase is meaningless, Now that I am in my senior years and saying.my daily rosary, I needed to change those words. Now I am comfortable with the prayer. I would like to print the whole prayer: Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women,
and Blessed is your Son, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us now and at the hour our death, Amen
Most people like it, it is easier to teach, more appropriate in meaning, saying that Mary had a son. I think it is a beautiful prayer, and we can use any words that we like.
My point is that we need to pray
