The meaning of prayer formation in 'Faith and Light' communities

The main goal of the below presented paper is to find the answer to the question: What is the meaning given to the prayer formation in the “Faith and Light” Communities by guardians of intellectually disabled people? Finding an answer to the first part of this issue was the purpose of the conducted study of subject literature. In order to get an answer for the second part of the presented matter, surveys were conducted among the guardians of people with intellectual disabilities in the communities of international association “Faith and Light”. As a result of the conducted surveys, we were indirectly acquainted with the picture of prayer formation and its conditioning in „Faith and Light” communities and based on that the significance of it was interpreted. Based on the conducted study, it has been stated that the prayer formation realized in the Communities contributes to both moral and spiritual development and shapes the system of values and attitudes. Prayer formation helps in the implementation of the fundamental mission of the Community, which is every member’s acceptance of their own lives, growing in inner freedom and sharing the Good News.
