Definition: Supplication (n.) - In Catholicism, the act of asking for something from God without a specific request or reason for doing so. Definition: The act of making an appeal for assistance in obtaining something desired by someone else, as opposed to a formal petition with a specific purpose. It is often used metaphorically when someone requests a favor, but does not have a clear request. Examples: - The priest asked the bishop for papal permission to marry, which was denied because he did not propose a marriage. - A student submitted a formal appeal to his professor requesting additional resources to complete their research project. In this context, 'supplication' refers specifically to a request without specific purpose.
