Within Bardi's teachings, he details that prayer is the most effective way to communicate and express one's devotion to Unus and his assistants. Within Clarityism, it is compulsory to pray at least twice a day to Unus. During the First Fortunan Empire's reign of the region, these compulsory prayers also began including praying to Fortuna. There was never a set time for when these prayers should occur during the day in the early years, but would later become a requirement for one prayer to be done in the morning, preferably upon waking up, and one in the evening before sleeping. In order to pray, worshipers will visit a local church or shrine. Prayer can also be done in front of home shrines which has grown in popularity in recent years due to the ease of access.
 
The main method of prayer first consists of kneeling or sitting in front of an alter. Worshipers will then provide an offering, usually monetary while at public places of worship. Then they will bow their head and clasp their hands together during which they will silently pray. During prayers, worshipers will recite a verse or poem from the Book of Clarity whosewith the purpose is toof expressexpressing to Unus the worshiper's devotion in order to increase Unus' ability to protect them and the Aspirian Isles. Prayers usually just take a couple minutes to complete, but prayers can last longer if worshipers wish to further display their faith and devotion to Unus and also gain more fortune and luck from Fortuna. Another way to complete the required prayers is to provide a monetary offering to a priest who will pray on the worshiper's behalf.
