Repeating Prayers/Mantra

[jeanne71350]

Hi everyone,

Well, for the last few times I’ve gone to Adoration at a retreat I went to, I’ve been into repeating prayers or mantra (if you want to call it that). I just start whispering a phrase (Jesus I love You…Thank You Jesus…Praise You Jesus) over and over again…then most of the times I end up prostrate on the ground and out. That brings me so much peace.

Does anyone else pray this way?

Thanks
Jeanne

Not exactly, but I do spend part of my time at the Friday night Adoration repeating the Sanctus – I want to join my voice with the hosts of heaven saying to the Lamb upon the throne:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra, gloria Tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.

I started this because I became aware of the fact that right before me was the Word. The Word that is with God at the creation of the universe. As God lives outside of time, He was also present on the altar as He sacrificed Himself upon the cross. And as He is upon His throne being praised by us all, in heaven and on earth.

Hi Jeanne, many times when I go to Adoration, after a while I don’t feel the need to pray ‘about’ anything anymore, and I just want to look at Jesus and love Him… and often I repeat prayers too, like “Jesus I love You”. I also do this after receiving the Eucharist.

God bless
