Prayer cards are small, portable cards that feature image of Saints, Orishas, religious figures, and other spiritual symbols. You can incorporate prayer cards into your prayer life.
Prayer cards have a long history in the Catholic Church. The earliest known prayer cards date back to the 15th century, and they were often used as a way to commemorate important religious events or to promote particular devotions. In the 19th century, prayer cards became more widely available thanks to advances in printing technology, and they became a popular way to carry prayers and devotions with them wherever they went.
The images on prayer cards are not just decorative, they are meant to serve as visual aids to prayer. A prayer card may be used to pray for guidance & inspiration in your own life. The prayers or oracions that are printed on the card are also important. They may be traditional prayers, such as the Our Father or Hail Mary, or they may be specific devotions associated with a particular saint or religious figure.
There are many ways to incorporate prayer cards into your daily prayer life. You may want to keep a few cards in your pocket or purse so that you can pull them out and pray with them during quiet moments throughout the day.
Alternatively, you may want to create a small prayer altar in your home and display your favorite prayer cards there. This can be a peaceful and meditative space where you can spend time in prayer and reflection.
Orishas are spiritual beings who have been tasked with maintaining this Earth, watching over the affairs of humanity and each has dominion over a portion of nature. Each Orisha is identified with natural forces as well as with human interests or endeavors. These Orishas are mediators between humanity and the Supreme Being.
Pray to Orishas because they are already in heaven, and they can intercede for you. In moments of anxiety, you need to hope and believe in something that helps you recover faith and maintain peace in your life.
