Matthew 6:7.

Is this verse in the catholic bible? If not, 100 hail Mary's to you...

Douay-Rheims, Matthew 6:7, "And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard."

New Standard, Matthew 6:7 "And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words."

That does sound like Hail Mary's...

A Catholic reads the Bible to become familiar with Scripture and to meditate on the Word of God..Catholic AnswerCatholic prayer using the Bible is called Lectio Divina (literally Divine Reading) and is when you use the Bible for meditation, for an explanation, please see the links below. Meditation is beginning prayer for a Catholic (outside of Vocal Prayer and Liturgical Prayer, but even Vocal Prayer should include Meditation or Mental Prayer: if you're not thinking about what you're saying, you're not praying).

Do bible have prayers have inside?

What's the question agen? Is it, does bible have prayers inside? There is one prayer called the Lord's prayer which Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him to teach them how to pray. There are lots of other prayers by different characters. It may suit you depending on the situation you are in. But as far as I know, The Lord's Prayer is the only one that is intended as a prayer you can use, or as a model for your prayer.


Is repetition of words used for warning?

Yes, it is the repetition of words without the act of conscious thought that is being warned against. To pray is okay, even to pray the same prayer over and over again. But, one must be aware of the meaning of that particular prayer. Repetition without understanding is no more than spouting drivel, and is a waste of your time and God's attention. Also specifically in the Holy Bible repetition is used as an exclamation. For example the word Holy is often repeated. I was told once that it was because they didn't have the same grammar that we use today in the English language. So if we were to write a Psalm now instead of writing 'Holy, holy, holy' we may just write 'God is Holy!"
