I too thought of the other meaning of ejaculation when I first read the thread title, but I knew what the OP was really referring to. I understand that there would be some *confusion *over the use of this word, as not everyone has heard it applied to a type of prayer. But I don’t understand the large number of *complaints *here about the use of this word. There are many words in English that have two or more different meanings, and “ejaculation” is one of them.

Anyway, there are some great prayers here, and this thread has inspired me to think more about short ejaculatory prayers for use in my own life, and to teach to my children. Here is one that I say sometimes, particularly if I feel scared or threatened:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I also like “Jesus, I trust in You.”

Thanks for these prayers. Yes, I didn’t realize at the time the complexity of the term and that I could have probably have better used the ejaculatory word instead. But not all is lost. Some have learned a new word or word usage.

I think you did fine with the word usage. As you say, some people have learned a different meaning of the word. And I would have thought that most people knew that ejaculation can mean something like “verbal exclamation,” even if they hadn’t heard it applied specifically to prayer.

Thanks for your video blog. I liked the one on Mother Angelica and Arinze’s.
 
In school, we were ordered to say our “spontaneous ejaculations” while waiting in line, or to and from classrooms. Often, it was lines from the Litany of Saints.

Another word that has a separate meaning in a Catholic context is “concupiscence.” Catholics define it as “an inclination to evil,” whole the secular definition is more along the lines of “sexual lust.”
 
Thank you O’God for your abundance of patience and kindness towards me
 
Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever!
You heavens, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever!
Sun and Moon, bless the Lord, praises and exalt him above all forever!
Stars of heaven, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him forever!
