Yes - the original translation into English used 'Voices', but 'Prayer' is the exact literal translation, and I have seen translations in the past ~5 years that use 'Prayer'. (my recollection is that this had to do with the understanding of prayer in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, and trying to convey that meaning into English). In either case, the stories are perhaps more relevant than ever now.
