Kardecian Spiritist Prayers

What these prayers are

These Prayers are used by spiritist as tools for meditation, devotion, and as mechanisms to both call spirits and elevate the concouseness. Spiritual Masses begin with a set of prayers. Usually several prayers in a certain order to call the guids, protectors, ancestors, and spirits to the mass. They are interspersed with The Our Father the Hail Mary and the Glory Be. They call a certian quality of spirits and send off negative spirits. The Catholic prayers are used as tools as well. In Renesance France, where spiritism first came to be, Catholocism was more than revered it was enforced by society. Many Catholic elements are found within spiritism because of this. Infact everwhere the catholic church can be found today in western europe, south, central, and north america. So can the practice of spiritism be found. Most latin american spiritists are also devout catholics. Many would think this to be against the catholic archdiosys, but it is tolerated by even the Pope who calls it "Popular Religiosity". Catholic uniform prayers like the Our Father spoken in a stern tone with the correct ammount of intent behind them both rais energy and help a group focus its presence, will, and purpose. Infact all of the prayers are spoken this way. That is also the way the Catholic church prays them. We have hear listed a common selection of prayers from Alan Kardecs "Book of Selected Prayers."

Prayer for the commencement of a meeting

We beseech You, O Lord God, the All Powerful, to send us the good Spirits to help us and take away all those who may induce us towards error; give us the necessary light so that we may distinguish truth from falsity.

Remove too, the maleficent Spirits, be they incarnate or discarnate, who may try to launch discord amongst us, and so turn us away from charity and love for our neighbours.

 If some of these Spirits try to enter our ambient, do not allow them access to any of our hearts.

 Good Spirits, you see fit to come and teach us, make us yielding to your counselling, turn us away from all thoughts of selfishness, pride, jealousy and envy.

 Inspire us to indulgence and benevolence towards our fellow beings, present or absent, friends or enemies; lastly, through the sentiments with which we are animated, make us recognise Your beneficial influence.

 To those Mediums You chose as transmitters of Your teaching, give awareness of their mandate and the seriousness of the act they are about to practise, so they may perform this act with the necessary fervour and meditation.

 If at our meeting, there be any persons present driven by sentiments other than those of goodness, open their eyes to the light and forgive them Lord, as we forgive them, for any evil intentions they may harbour.

 We ask especially that the Spirit of X..., who is our spiritual Guide, assist us and watch over us.



 

Prayer For the Mediums

Almighty God, permit the good Spirits to come and help me in the communication that is solicited.

Protect me from the presumption of judging myself to be safe from evil Spirits; from the pride which may induce me to err with respect to the value of what I receive; from all sentiments which are the opposite of charity towards other mediums.

If I fall into error inspire someone to alert me of this fact; and give me the humility that will enable me to accept the deserved criticism and to recognise that the advice the good Spirits wish to give through me is not only addressed to others, but primarily to myself.

If I am tempted to abuse in whatever form, the faculty whose bestowal You approved, or to become proud of it, I ask that You take it back rather than it be permitted to stray from its providential objective, which is for the good of all and my own moral betterment.

 

To The Guardian Angels and Protecting Spirits

Wise and benevolent Spirits, messengers of God, whose mission is to help Man and conduct him towards goodness, uphold me in life's tests; give me the strength to suffer without complaining; turn away from me all evil thoughts, and do not allow me to give access to any bad Spirits who may try to induce me to evil.

 Clarify my conscience with respect to my defects, and take away the veil of pride from my eyes which can prevent my seeing them and admitting them to myself.

 Particularly to X. . ., my Guardian Angel, who watches over me specially; and all the rest of you protecting Spirits who take an interest in me, I beg you to help me to become worthy of your protection.

 You know my needs; may they be attended to according to the Will of God.

Dear God, allow the good Spirits who accompany me to help me when I am in difficulty and uphold me when I falter.

 Lord, may they inspire me with faith, hope and charity; may they be a point of support, an inspiration and a testimony of Your mercy.

 In short, may I always encounter in them the strength that I lack for the tests of life, the strength to resist all evil suggestions, the faith that saves and the love that consoles.

Beloved Spirits and Guardian Angels, who God in His infinite mercy has permitted to assist mankind, be our protectors during all life's tests! Give us the necessary strength, courage and resignation; inspire us towards all that is good, and restrain us from the downward incline to evil; may your sweet influences fill our souls; make us feel that a devoted friend is by our side, who can see our suffering and who participates in all our joys.

 And you, my Good Angel, never abandon me because I need all of your protection to be able to support with faith and love the tests that God has sent me.

Prayer to turn away the bad spirits

In the Name of God the All Powerful, may the bad Spirits turn away from me and the good Spirits defend me from them! Wicked Spirits, who inspire bad thoughts in men; deceiving and lying Spirits, who delude men; mocking Spirits, who amuse yourselves with mankind's incredulity, I repel you with all the strength within my soul and close my ears to your suggestions; but l also implore that God's mercy be upon you.

 Good Spirits, who undertook to accompany me, give me the necessary strength to resist the influence of bad Spirits and the necessary enlightenment  so as not to become a victim of their intrigue.

 Safeguard me from pride and presumption.

 We beg that you turn aside all thoughts of jealousy, hate, badness, and all sentiments contrary to charity from my heart, which are all as open doors to the bad Spirits

Prayer to Close a Meeting

We give thanks to the good Spirits who have come to communicate with us, and implore them to help us put into practise the instructions they have given, and also, that on leaving this ambient, they may help us to feel strengthened for the practise of goodness and love towards our fellow beings.

 We also desire that Your teachings help all those Spirits who are suffering, ignorant or corrupt, who have participated in our meeting and for whom we implore God's mercy.
