Website Introduction. The objective of this website is to gather the great prayers written by the spiritual visionaries of our planet into an online database representing all life affirming traditions. 
Many of these prayers have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years. Others are from spiritual contemporaries in today's intricate global fabric. Though these sacred verses arise from divergent paths, voices, languages, cultures and heritages, they all carry within them the same burning flame - the same impassioned love for life and the divine mysteries.

Guiding Principle. The World Prayers archive attempts to be representative of all life affirming faiths and spiritual practices without preference to any one. It is our goal to make these great words available to everyone for study and appreciation. The prayers have been intuitively divided into four categories for the purpose of organization and navigation.
 |
ADORATIONS Prayers of devotion, surrender, love, praise and offering. |
 |
CELEBRATIONS Prayers of thanksgiving, initiation, affirmation and blessing. |
 |
INVOCATIONS Prayers of petition, supplication, calling forth and healing. |
 |
MEDITATIONS Prayers of reflection, contemplation, being and teaching. |
