How to address jesus

[ANGELIC_PEACE]

i was wondering when you pray to jesus you can adrress him as sacred heart of jesus, or divine mercy of jesus (if you are devoted to the saced heart and divine mercy)…i have also seen prayers where you can address jesus, as holy face of jesus,…i was wondering what if you had a devotion to the precious blood of jesus or the holy wounds…could you pray precious blood of jesus…etc…holy wounds of jesus…etc…

i know if we pray to his heart or divine mercy then we are still praying to him…but is it the same to pray to his precious blood and holy wounds…? can you pray to jesus in that way…

by the way i don’t have any problems addressing jesus, i usually call him, jesus…lord jesus…lord…gentle jesus…etc…

Yes, I think you could pray to Jesus in any of those ways. You know (and He knows) that you are praying to Him in His totality, even though you may be focusing on a particular aspect. Jesus is risen, and His body, blood, soul, and divinity are forever united.

 

[blessedstar]

Oh yes you can address Jesus these ways but I have the notion that Jesus likes us to address Him as we address no other with tender words of love and affection.

I call Jesus:

**‘My life and my love’
‘My Lord Jesus’
‘My heart and my breathe’
‘Tender God’
‘Good Teacher’
‘Good Shepherd’
‘Gentle Infant’
’ Desolate Love’
‘King of my heart and home’
‘Jesus my Prayer’
**

I call the Holy Spirit:
**
‘My guide and good counsel’
‘Sweet balm’
‘Tender solace’
‘Dear wisdom and certitude’
‘Lord of my conscience’
**

I call God the Father:

**‘My Father’
‘Tender hearted Father’
‘Source of my being’
‘Eternal Merciful Father’
‘My Love’
‘Almighty Father’
**

I call my Blessed Virgin Mothr Mary:

’Flower and protector of my soul’
‘Dearest Mother’
'Mother, my love’

These words I use to address my sweet Jesus and I don’t use them for anyone else, this is personal between me and God, but people may have their own words they use and God prefers this, it is an expression of love in the soul and heart between that particular soul and God.

Address God as you are inspired by Him to do so.

[Genesis315]

Devotion in Honor of the Five Holy Wounds

As I kneel before Thee on the Cross, most loving Savior of my soul, my conscience tells me it is I who have nailed Thee to that Cross with these hands of mine, as often as I have fallen into mortal sin, wearing Thee with my monstrous ingratitude.
My God, my chief and most perfect Good, worthy of all my love, seeing Thou hast ever loaded me with blessings, I cannot now undo my misdeeds, as I would most willingly, but I can and will loathe them, grieving greatly for having offended Thee Who art infinite Goodness. And now, kneeling at Thy feet, I will try at least to compassionate Thee, to give Thee thanks, to ask of Thee pardon and contrition. Wherefore, with heart and lips I say:

(To the Wound of the Left Foot)

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for the love whereby Thou was wearied in overtaking me on to way to ruin, and didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, in atonement for my sins, all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

(To the Wound of the Right Foot)

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears, and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

(To the Wound of the Left Hand)

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry justice of my God.

(To the Wound of the Right Hand)

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

(To the Wound in the Sacred Side)
Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the love which suffered Thy side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of Blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, that my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

It probably doesn’t matter how you say it. He is probably as happy as a lark just hearing from you.

As soon as I saw this though I thought of the book *He and I *. In it Jesus says to Gabrielle Bossis, "Say ‘my Jesus’. Don’t you prefer to be called ‘my Gabrielle’?”

I always thought that was so sweet. So now, I call Him “my Jesus” because I want to hear Him call me “my Marie”.
