Ejaculatory prayers

[crystal_waters]

Oooh I like this!! I often use that same prayer when I hear of someone passing. But literally just passing them on the street—I’ll have to employ it more often!

Im going to start praying it too…what a fantastic idea,

Windmill…i totally agree with you…have you talk to you priest about maybe holding a workshop/retreat in the church hall or in church itself where folks can sign up, pay a small fee (to fund this project ) and volunteers could teach about each of those things etc…

 

[FatherOfTwelve]

“Blessed be the name of the Lord” whenever His name is taken in vain.

Too bad Catholics nowadays don’t even know what “ejaculatory prayers” are. Another fatality chalked up to the Spirit of Vatican II. Add that loss to “Forty Hours Devotions, Rogation Days, Septuagesima, Ember Days, and Introits/Graduals/Proper Antiphons”, and you see the slow dissolving of Catholic customs that have helped form centuries of Catholic culture.

Sorry, I’ve been in the Church now 10 years, (Baptist/Brethren convert) and I feel still have just scratched the surface of the beauty and depth of the practices and Traditions. So, you will see me reply with What… Every now and then. God Bless,

Both of these are often on my lips throughout the day.

…
“Jesus, Mary, I love You! Save souls!”;

“My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee! I beg pardon for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee.”

Most often said …

“Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine!”

regarding the phrase, “ejaculatory prayer,” as a most very definitely post Vatican II child, I’ve heard that expression all of my adult life.

‘Here I am Lord, I come to do Your will’ And the divine mercy prayers. (Eternal father…for the sake of his sorrowful passion…)

 

[Reepicheep]

All glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is Lord.

Also sometimes I pray in the Spirit.

Welcome to the Church! Again, I’m not looking down on a person, I’m lamenting the caretakers of our religion and how we have let so much slip away.

I find that converts tend to be the ones most open to traditional customs because they have a firm grasp of the doctrines of hte faith and can see the beauty of the traditions that were centuries in the making.
