What is the strongest protection prayer?

In the Catholic tradition, the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel, composed by Pope Leo XIII, is the one for protection against spiritual evil. For the home and children, many families pray the Holy Angel of the Lord and the consecration to Our Lady.

Which prayer to say for someone who died?

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, a prayer said at the wake, in the cemetery, and on All Souls' Day. For a longer prayer, the prayer for the deceased from the Byzantine tradition asks for a place of light, without pain, for the soul.

Do I need to light a candle for the prayer to be valid?

No. The prayer counts by the faith of the one who prays. The candle is a sign: it keeps the prayer request lit while you go about your day. For this reason, the test ends by suggesting one, either the candle of the saint of the prayer or a white candle.

Where do the test prayers come from?

They are 67 prayers taken from the appendix of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Devotional of Opus Dei, with Brazilian spelling. All have their own page in Prayers.

What does your heart ask for today?

How does the test choose your prayer?

The first question is what your heart asks for: protection, health, peace, forgiveness, faith, gratitude, work, family, or to pray for those who have left. The second refines the case. Then comes who you want to pray to (to God the Father, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, to Our Lady, or to a saint) and how much time you have now.

Each prayer has a profile taken from what it asks for in the text itself: the one for Saint Michael the Archangel is defense against evil; the Memorare is for the difficult cause; the travel blessing is for the road. The test adds up points and shows the one that best matches, with two more options.

At the end comes the candle. If the prayer is to a saint, the suggestion is his candle: Saint Michael, Saint Joseph, the Guardian Angel, or Our Lady. In the prayers to God, to Jesus, and to the Holy Spirit, it is the white candle, which serves any prayer request. All prayers are also in Prayers.
