*Sacred Scripture* Death of Pharaoh’s Firstborn Son – Tadema
The sorrowful Pharaoh of Egypt holds his dead, firstborn son, in this artwork by Lawrence Alma Tadema. It was this final plague sent from God, the death of the Egyptian firstborn sons, which convinced Pharaoh to let the Jews leave their captivity in Egypt.
Ex 12:29-30
Death of the Firstborn.
29g And so at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn of the animals.
30Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and there was loud wailing throughout Egypt, for there was not a house without its dead.

Saying the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always.
1-A prayer from Raphael the Archangel:
*While you are on this earth, you must praise the Lord God and give him thanks.
2-A prayer from Tobit and Tobias:
*They began to sing hymns of praise, giving thanks for all the mighty deeds God had done while his angel Raphael had been with them.
3-A simple Jesus prayer:
*Lord, Lord, Jesus Christ…Son of God…have mercy on me…Be kind to others…Work Hard…Be joyful.
4-Another prayer:
*When all that God asks of us is to be quiet and keep ourselves at peace-attentive to the secret work He is beginning in our souls-Be Empty and See That I Am God.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
1 Jn 4:16
