Ejaculatory/Aspiration prayers!- Do You Pray Without Ceasing?

[crystal_waters]

Does anyone pray ejaculatory/aspiration prayers? Do you use ones from prayer books or make up your own? Do you ever pray for yourself, and for others, and for prayer requests etc by ejaculatory/aspiration prayers? When is your favourite time to pray them?

 

[ExGratia]

Jesus! Mary! …when I need strength.

Admirable is the name of God! … when someone takes the Lord’s name in vain.

You can say them throughout the day - they are so short. I think there are enough out there so I have never really felt the need to make up my own. I say the following:

---

• Have mercy, Lord, on me a sinner
• Lord save me or I perish
• Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in Thee
• Jesus meek and humble of Heart, make my heart like unto thine
• Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end
• O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee***

These are ones I say frequently throughout the day. You can say them when you need help or if you just want to pray. You can say them in response to various situations. For example, if you hear of someone who has died or remember someone you can say the "eternal rest grant unto them O Lord… etc" or if someone takes the name of the Lord in vain you can say;*** “Blessed be God, blessed be His Holy name.”*** etc

At the elevation of the sacred Host during Mass you can say: "My Lord and my God." - there was an indulgence attached to this.
