This above a small Yorùbá ìwúre (prayer) to affirm comfort and peace at home and abroad. It is also about claiming victory and blessings no matter the odds. The word ilé is “home” and ọ̀nà is “path”. This is an affirmation ìwúre that says our home and social engagements (jobs, friends, traveling, kwk) will be peaceful ventures. No enemy within, nor without, will touch us. And of course, we must have ACTIONS that match the prayer. This is no “I do what I want and ask a savior for forgiveness and it’s all good all of a sudden”.
About the word “Prayer”
When we translate things from African languages through a European language, things tend to get lost and tossed up. The European word “prayer” is derived from the Latin “precari” which means “to BEG”. That is in line with worshipping a god that ur supposed to fear. The Yorùbá word, ìwúre, means “to speak/pour blessings”. Two totally different concepts. The latter concept is Afrikan. The one mentioned before is biblical and all religions based on it. We are Mãwùfɛnugbetɔ (Afrikan people).
