Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in Sofia in Bulgaria<\/figcaption><\/figure>That most important prayer:
\nThat most forget to say –
\nThat is said by folk of all faiths
\nAt any time of the day…<\/p>\n

Its not the Hail Mary
\nOr the Our Father begging grace
\nIts not chanting Ommmmm like the Bhuddists
\nOr the Salah of Islam who Mecca face…<\/p>\n

It has no set words in any language
\nIt is universal to all faiths in part
\nIts not to ask to receive, but to say thanks
