Church of Humanity/Prayers

"Prayer may cleanse the soul, but pain cleanses the body. Both are necessary for the survival of Humanity."

(Intro)

Prayers

Orationem Fidelium (Prayer of the Faithful)

The Light of the Divine surrounds me.
The Love of the Divine enfolds me.
The Power of the Divine protects me.
The Presence of the Divine watches over me.
Wherever I am, the Divine is!

Viaticum Sanctus (Holy Provisions for the Journey or Last Rites)

Officiant: Holy Divine, Creator of All, forgive Your child of his/her sins.
Officiant: Holy Divine, Great Artisan who crafted Humanity from the soil, bless Your child and weigh his/her soul on their devotion to You.

Afflicted: Holy Divine, guide my soul to Your side.
Afflicted: Holy Divine, forgive me my sins for I devote myself to You in death as I do/did in life.
Afflicted: Holy Divine, embrace me in Your Light and shield me from the Darkness Eternal.

Should the Affilicted be unable to speak due to injury, illness, or even death, a Witness may speak the Words for them.
Witness: Holy Divine, guide his/her soul to Your side.
Witness: Holy Divine, forgive him/her of his/her sins for he/she devotes himself to You in death as he/she did in life.
Witness: Holy Divine, embrace him/her in Your Light and shield him/her from the Darkness Eternal.

At this point, both the Officiant and the Afflicted (or Witness) speak the following words as the Officiant applies holy water or oils to the brow of the Afflicted in the Symbol of the Divine.
All: For Thou art Ruler of Paridisus - Realm of Light, of Good, of Purity, of Justice.
All: Most Holy Divine, take our souls as Yours so that we may reside at Your side infinitium.
All: For Thine is the Power and Glory forever. Amen.
