An interesting idea that has somewhat intrigued me.

The principal forms of prayer (as recognized by the Catholic church).

Blessing & Adoration

Basically worshiping God.

Petition

Asking God for favors.

Intercession

Asking God for favors on behalf of others.

Thanksgiving

Finally thanking God for all the things we have to be grateful for.

Praise

Telling G. what he/she already knows. See Blessing & Adoration or Thanksgiving.

Meditation

Simply meditating & contemplating God. Perhaps similar to Blessing & Adoration, but I don't think the blessings, our blessings, have any relevance. Simply put it is communion with God, similar in essence to the Buddhists view of meditation....

Now there are only 4 that I remember, yet somehow I have 7 listed. Blessing & Adoration, Praise, & Meditation might be placed all together...
