Church is part of God’s plan for man and has many benefits. Prayers is also part of God’s plan. Prayer is communicating with our Maker. We at Civilitiville USA and New Life Health Ventures encourage both going to church and prayer and promote a culture of faith and a culture of mutual respect and understanding amongst all faiths.
More information and resources coming soon. God bless you and those you encounter.
Civilitiville USA is Christian with heavy Roman Catholic influence and as part of the universal church we promote understanding between all faiths and all Christian denominations. We believe "faith is a gift, lest no man should boast"Ephesians 2:9.
https://socialtheology.com/docs/Rose_Bible_eCharts_DC_Family_Tree_of_Denominations.pdf is a wonderful link articulating the differences between the mainstream Christian denominations in the U.S. today.
We hope to find resources to best articulate the beliefs of our monotheistic brothers and sisters, who practice Judaism and Islam and we hope to share the beliefs of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism too. Perhaps you can help point us to an authority or share your knowledge with us.
Our Favorite Prayers
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
hear it with music
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
in you we contemplate
the splendour of true love,
to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
grant that our families too
may be places of communion and prayer,
authentic schools of the Gospel
and small domestic Churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
may families never again
experience violence, rejection and division:
may all who have been hurt or scandalized
find ready comfort and healing.
Holy Family of Nazareth,
may the approaching Synod of Bishops
make us once more mindful
of the sacredness and inviolability of the family,
and its beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
graciously hear our prayer.
Composed by Pope Francis for the Feast of the Holy Family, 2013
