A prayer offset is a spiritual instrument representing a reduction in required penance for sins. Different riligions generate different offsets. For example, Catholic Prayer offsets are measured in Hail Mary Equivalent (HME's). One prayer offset represents the reduction of 10 Hail Mary Equivalent points (10 HME), with its equivalent also calculated in other forms of religious penance offsets.
There are two primary markets for prayer offsets. In developed countries, individuals, communities, churches or other entities buy prayer offsets in order to comply with the total amount of penance they are required to undertake to mitigate their own required penance for sins, ranging from taking the Lord's name in vain, through to Mortal Sins including perjury, adultery, lust, murder, contraceptive use, and abortion.
Developing countries can take advantage of Prayer Offset Scheme either as individuals, in their local communities and churches, or even as a form of local industry. Individuals can sign up to become Prayer Partners, and are compensated for taking on the Prayer Load from developed countries.
Prayer Partners add your penance to their own Prayer Load, praying for your soul, allowing you to live your life in the glory of God.
