Lord's Prayer

twelve steps & traditions and focused on self and the alcoholic alike. It taught these women to deal with the reality that they can’t change the people they love but they can change the way the deal with it. Whenever they opened with the serenity prayer it really became clear to me the struggle faced by family and friends when someone becomes powerless to the pursuit of…

I chose to attend Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church on November 13. We live in New Braunfels, and our religious options are very limited; we have Catholic churches and various types of Protestant churches. I have always been interested in what happens at a Catholic church; when you have never been to one it can seem interesting and very different. Sts. Peter and Paul is no exception; form the outside alone, I have always considered it one of our most beautiful churches. Sts. Peter and Paul…

The word Salem once meant peace in Hebrew, and meant complete peace in Biblical times. Now it is associated with the horrifying events of killing hundreds of innocent people. The Salem Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts were a mockery of justice. as innocent men and women were condemned to death. In the 1630s, the Puritans from Europe sailed to the New World, what is now the United States of America. The Puritans believed that it was their task to create a utopian theocracy. As time…

In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Salem trials which took place in 1692, it was mobile and many people were being accused. They were going through a dark error with no control over who they claimed incorporated with the devil. They tried to gain a little control but, it only got worse; however, if it wasn't for the corrupt reverend in town who kept things a secret for a while, it wouldn't have gone as far as it went. The series of trials led to the deaths of innocent people, including John…

identified himself as the guardian Angel of Portugal; he appeared to the 3 children on 3 separate occasions to prepare the children for coming of the Lady Mary. He taught them how they should pray and receive the Lord in Eucharist; he told them to offer prayer and sacrifices to the Most High. Mary wanted the children to pray the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world and ask the priest to construct a chapel at the site of her apparition. She warned them of the sufferings that they would…

Near the end of the story the older waiter is walking away from the café and begins saying the Lord’s Prayer. He substitutes the majority of the important words with “nada,” which means nothing in Spanish: “Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name…” (76). He continues on with another prayer, as well. This shows that religion, to him, is nothing more than words, than myths, than nothing at all. Religion is not a comfort to him in his discontentment…

by having a heavy stones placed on the him until death. Many of the accused died while waiting for their trial in jail. (Evans, Andrew) Although some of the same tests to identify a witch, such as the “witch cake,” “the Devil’s mark,” and the “the prayer test,” were tried in the Salem Witch Trials as in England, there were many that were new to The Village of Salem. People of the church would take a stack of Bibles to see…

“A man who dares to waste an hour of time has not discovered the value of life,” is an important quote, to me, made by a man with controversial theories, Charles Darwin. Today there is so much debate over whose belief is correct, which holy book is valid, and hatred between cultural and religious groups; and instead of valuing the diversity of our world, we are wasting the time of our valuable life on conflict. I chose Christianity and Islam, because they are two of the largest religious groups…

June 8, 2018. The past two meetings I attended were open book, however this meeting was a twelve- step meeting. The language used in this meeting was the same as the two other meetings I observed. Many members mentioned the words “higher power”, “prayer”, and “powerlessness”. The man who ran the meeting introduced himself, read the preamble and asked if there were any new members present. I was surprised to know I wasn’t the only one as there were four more other new members. Unlike the other…
