Explanation:

Parallelism is the correspondence of grammatical and semantic functions in prayers. In addition to improving text comprehension, respecting parallelism makes reading more enjoyable.

In other words, what is called parallelism is a chain of identical syntactic functions or chain of sentences of equal syntactic values. Prayers that present themselves with the same external syntactic structure, by connecting with each other in a process in which it is not allowed to establish greater relevance of one over the other, create a process of liaison by coordination.
