Summary/Abstract: Latin elegiac prayers, written by Renaissance poets – Ambrosius Moibanus, Ioannes Stigelius and Joachimus Camerarius, are analysed. Comparing images of the poetic world presented in the works of the said writers the author shows their religious attitude towards God. The vision of his goodness and mercies, created in the Moiban`s, Stigelius` and Camerarius` poems, is well fitted in Christian theology of the Catholic and Lutheran church, whereas the language of art and the tendency to insert ancient reminiscences displayed by the poets serve well educational purposes and make this poetry more useful to applying in contemporary schools.
