Shahadah

Though I profess the Roman faith, I have always thought that this was one of the greatest prayers ever. It's a top three with the Lord's Prayer and the Kaddish.
ā ilāha illā-llāh, wa muħammadan rasūlu-llāh
There is no god but God, and Muhammad is His prophet.
And apparently George W. Bush thinks so too.
(via unfogged, another blog better than my own).

If you're in a prayerful mood:
Lord's Prayer
Nicene Creed
Kaddish
Prayer of St. Francis

And I'm open to suggestions. I am, as the Reverend did once say, merely a sinner, in the hands of an angry God. I often think, though most of my friends and acquaintances might rightfully claim I am mistaken, that if the President were to have greater faith enough to study his faith and critique it as the Doctors of the Church once did, he might be a better President.
