Supplication: “Think of a supplication as sort of a prayer, a request
for help from a deity. The word carries a sense of awe and adoration
with it, suggesting something tentative, even servile, a respectful
appeal to a higher power.”
“Although it is a noun, supplication comes from the Latin verb supplicare, which means “to plead humbly.””
“…It carries with it an aura of religiosity and deep entreaty, and
should not be used to describe just any simple request.” – from vocabulary.com
In sharing this definition, I have to admit that I never knew there was a particular word describing what has been a common practice for me, for many years. I am offering this definition as a means for others to look at how they pray and/or request help from whatever Deity they believe in, from the Universe, from their own personal Guides and Angels. Approaching prayer in this way is the most humble form and while allowing ourselves to know that we are deserving of that which we ask for, there is a knowing that with ego aside, we are blessed.
Good word. Good practice.
Namaste, Peter
