Love, family, and faith are qualities that make our world better. 

More than 8 billion people live on our planet. By various estimates, around 85% of them practice one religion or another, and many are united by faith. 

Faith never teaches anything harmful or destructive. At its core there is goodness and love, whether it is Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, or any other religion. 

The world is moving quickly in an age of technology and AI. New digital platforms and apps are created to help people and improve everyday life. 

Today we will talk about Faith Tech, the details that matter, and whether technology can bring us closer to faith. 

Most of us turn to faith when we want to pray for those close to us, for the people we love, care about, and worry for. We pray for those who may have remained in our hearts forever, and sometimes for ourselves as well. 

Today this has become easier even for those who, for one reason or another, are far from religious life, or for those moments when we were searching for time but could not find it. 

Let us talk about one representative of the Faith Tech industry: Praymory.

Praymory App: “Pray for your loved ones, wherever you are.” This is not only Praymory’s slogan, it is a philosophy the world has been missing. 

Simple and effortless, with love and remembrance, and with respect for faith, we can now pray for our loved ones wherever we are. 

Soulmates is an avatar of a loved one: a mother or father, a relative or a friend, any person you want to pray for. In Praymory there are two Soulmates categories: In Presence and In Memory, for those who will remain in our hearts and memories forever. You create your Soulmates in the app, and they are always near. One tap and the prayer is already playing. 

Praymory supports 18 major religions, so you can choose your tradition and stay within its context. The app offers more than 20 prayer topics for different occasions and life events, and it supports more than 15 languages. Real voice talents and beautiful audio prayers help you feel more deeply present in the act of prayer. 

Praymory can be compared to a world in miniature: it creates a product for faith, love, and family regardless of which religion we belong to, built on the best human qualities.

Praymory has also made a strong leap in design. The way it conveys Faith Tech Design has rarely been done before. It combines respect for religion with a modern visual language without losing meaning, only highlighting it. 

One of the key features is Praymory AI: Voice of Faith. It provides audio and text responses grounded in the traditions of a specific religion. This helps you find support and an answer to an important question, from the most complex to the very simple and personal, such as a prayer for a loved one’s health. 

Praymory includes many thoughtful, practical functions. For example, many people feel anxious before flying. The Safe Flight feature allows you to play a pre-flight prayer in the form of an affirmation. You can choose city A and city B, and specify whether it is for yourself or for loved ones. For those who have been looking for a gentle way to ease worry, it can help reduce anxiety and simply pray before a trip. 

We do not always manage to say the important words to those who have left us forever. With Praymory, we can pray for those who are no longer with us, keeping love and memory alive. 

Praymory also lets you send a prayer or message to your Soulmates. You can share thoughts from the heart and say what you could not say before. This affirmation-based feature is called SLS (Spiritual Letter Service). You can send letters, prayers, and words safely, believing they will be heard. Praymory gives attention to those who truly need it: a small space on your phone where there is only you and your message. There is no reply. We simply believe. 

Automatic prayers are another important detail that helps us remember what matters most. By adding Soulmates and setting a schedule, you receive notifications at the dates and times you choose. One tap and the prayer plays automatically in audio format. It is a convenient way to keep regular moments of prayer, for example a weekly prayer for a grandmother or a daily prayer for parents at a certain time. 

This is only a small part of what Praymory can do. If the idea resonates, you can explore the app more closely. 

Love, family, and faith. The time has come when we can pray for our loved ones, remember and love, support one another, and become better while holding a phone in our hand, thanks to the fast-growing Faith Tech industry and Praymory. Regardless of nationality or religion, love, family, and faith remain in our hearts. 

SCATHED LIPS

Seafoam, her rhythms matched the sea waves

a perfect duet

At dusk, she knelt at the altar

bent low, with an air of tranquility, prayer at her lips

eyes shut with grave devotion

all the emotions that she felt, now flooding

stained glass of the church halls

and the whitewashed walls couldn’t do justice to what she held

as candles flicker, a memory fresh, as the pain she felt

a photograph, that bound her heart, that she cherished

of her and her mother’s, of her tender scent, endearing touch, like a ray of sunshine

like the bells of  a church her laugh, ringing

she reminisced, her voice, a warm embrace, singing carols in the dead Christmas nights

the crackling of the firewood, of hot embers and her hand, clasped  in her mother’s

A sudden jolt and she was rudely awakened from her memory

the bullets came first, devouring her, famished

destroying the stained glass

diminishing the light within until it was extinguished

Her faith wrecked, her body, broken

sudden flashbacks engulfed her, her mother’s sudden urges awakened her

as she stumbled for what her life was worth, couldn’t reach the altar

the bombs shook the walls

resonated far away

and there she lay

with her memories

of happier times, of sweeter days

the prayer snatched from her scathed lips

Desolated shorelines, now nobody danced with the sea waves

nobody caressed the sea foam.

ANOUSHKA MUKHERJI

This poem showcases the memories of the girl who danced along with the sea waves. The waves remember her rhythmic footsteps with the soft sand beneath her feet. It is understood that she is a very religious person who used to regularly visit the church with her mother. Now her mother is no longer by her side and she keeps having flashbacks of happier times with her mom. They used to pray together, sing carols during Christmas night, and dance together. She misses her warm embrace and rendering touch and her scent still lingers in her memory fresh as if she is still by her side. It seems that her mother died a very tragic death and might have been killed in the ongoing war. It is painful for the girl to recount those memories and she tries to bury them deep in her heart. All that she holds now of her mother is the old photography which was the only thing left behind of her mother. As she kneels down to pray at the altar she is suddenly awakened by the bullets which starts destroying the church windows and one by one starts wrecking the whole building, the girl tries with all her might to run as fast as she can away from the bullets but all in vain. Lastly, we see that the girl faces a similar fate as her mother and ends us dead inside the church walls. With all that fades away, the church in ruins now no longer can hold her memories of sweeter and simpler times. Now the shores miss the girl who danced along with the waves, the girl who came to pray with her mother.
