Anaisa Love Prayer: “Great spirit of love, my heart is pure and my intentions are clear. I ask for your guidance and your help in finding my soul mate, my most perfect partner. I seek a partner who enhances me by his/her very being. Who brings more love, joy, peace and prosperity to my life. Who I can love fully and who can fully receive my love. Who loves, honors and cherishes me completely and always. May I know love when my true love comes to me. May I let love in. May I be wiling to allow my soul to know the truth. May my heart be open and my head be clear. My life is ready to welcome true romantic love. AMEN.”
Saints 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 Saint is identified with natural forces as well as with human interests or endeavors. These Saints are mediators between humanity and the Supreme Being.
Pray to Saints 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.
