Catholicscope - Of the many prayers that are often prayed by Catholics,
there are at least 5 prayers sourced from the Bible or the Holy Bible. The
prayers are clearly recorded in the Scriptures.
But this doesn't mean that only these five prayers are
sourced from the Bible. There are still other prayer which also comes from the
Bible. We chose 5 this prayer because we often hear or most widely recited by
Catholics.

But remember, of these five prayers, there are two
prayers associated with total submission to God. That is, the two prayers
contain elements of submission of Catholics to God.
1. The Lord's Prayer
It's certain that the first prayer that comes from the
Bible is the Lord's Prayer. This prayer is even taught by Jesus directly to His
disciples, as well as to us.
The Lord's Prayer is touted as the most perfect prayer
and is recommended to be prayed by all Catholics. The Biblical basis of the
Lord's Prayer is Matthew 6: 9-13 or Luke 11: 2-4.
2. Jonah’s Prayer
Do you remember the story of prophet Jonah? He was a
prophet swallowed up by a fish for three days for against God's commands.
The Jonah's prayer is one of God's compassionate requests
because we often against his commandments.
The Scripture verse that speaks of this prayer of Jonah
is Jonah 2: 2-9. So, don't forget to pray like prophet Jonah, cause sometimes
we also against Gods command.
3. Hannah's prayer
Hana is one of the prominent figures in the Old Testament
Scriptures. He is the mother of Samuel who spent all his life living in the
God's house.
Hannah's perseverance in praying and praising God's great
works can be an inspiration to us as Catholics. Hana's praise prayer can be
found in the passage 1 Samuel 2: 1-10.
Two Prayers of Submission
In addition to the above mentioned three prayers that
have biblical foundations, there are two other prayers sourced from Scripture
as well. And, these two prayers are very thick with expressions of submission
to God.
4. Mary's Hymn of Praise: Magnificat
Magnificat or also
often known by the praise of Mary is a prayer of praise that describes the
surrender of Mary to God. This prayer is very popular among the Legion of Mary.
You can find this Praise of Mary on Luke 1: 46-56. don't
forget to bring mother Mary on whole your life.
5. Simeon's Song
The Song of Simeon
is one of the prayers of submission to God. The aged Simeon expressed his joy
in old age after meeting the baby Jesus. This Simeon's Song can be found on
Luke 2: 29-32. If you do not have a Bible, you can use Bible guides online at
