Hi,

I sometimes keep doing some ejaculatory prayer. It helps me a lot and I believe its a great way to be “prayerful” all the time. There are a few I often do like

O most sacred heart of Jesus , be my Love.

O my mother , My help.

Lord I love you, Lord I praise you, Lord I thank you etc

Does anyone here have the same habit. I want to know different beautiful ejaculatory prayers. I can add them to my list.

Thanks for posting your favourite ones.
Joe
 
Keep me safe, O God; You are my hope. (It’s from a psalm, but I don’t recall which one.)

Lord, if You will, You can make me clean. (Prayer of the leper cured by Jesus.)

Lord, have mercy.
 
It’s simple, but the one I always say when I’m upset or worried is “O my God, I place my trust in Thee.” I just say it over and over, kind of to the rhythm of my breathing, and God always brings me peace.

Here is a list of ejaculatory prayers: fisheaters.com/prayers.html#last

Mine I actually made for myself: “Thank you for this Cross, my love, my victory!”

I always seem to stumble into crosses in my everyday life, so I just chose to thank God for them everytime 🙂

God bless!
 
Ejaculatory prayers are very important to my wife and I…

I will offer here but a few …(not necessarily my favorite…;))

Jesus

Maranatha, come Lord Jesus!

Jesus Good Shepherd, I believe in you, I hope in you, I love you

Mary, Star of Hope pray for us

Christus resurrexit!- Christ is risen

Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever

I believe in You. I hope in you. I love you. I adore You, O Blessed Trinity.

Blessed be the Holy Trinity

Deo Gratius

Thanks be to God!

Jesus Christ Son of God Savior (IXOYC)
 
gentle jesus convert and enlighten sinners and unbelievers

gentle jesus assist and save all those who will die this day (or night)

gentle jesus pour an ocean of your precious blood in to purgatory and release all the holy souls and bring them to heaven

gentle jesus be at the side of everybody in the world who will die today and save them(or night) and escort them to heaven

gentle jesus protect all those who travel by air, sea, road or rail this day

gentle jesus grant answered prayers to people in every country who are desperately begging you for help

gentle jesus, protect me, my home, family and friends,

The first time I ever heard the term ejcaulative prayer, it came from Mother Angelica’s lips.

I had a cup of coffee resting on the arm of the sofa and my sudden movement knocked it onto the carpet.
 
" Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy".
" Save your servent".
 
what a great thread…if we fill our days with these prayers then we can do as the bible instructs and pray without ceasing …

think of all the graces we can gain for ourselves, our loved ones and the world by saying these through the day…graces that we may not have recieved otherwise…
 
(Breathe in) Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God
(Breathe out) Have mercy on me, a sinner.

Works great while walking.

There can be some notes of caution as to the association of breathing with the Jesus Prayer…(one would be recommended to have an experienced spiritual director in such regards)

Why would there be a problem with this?

Hi,
You are right about the last phrase of yours. We can we make up one " Lord , let your peace be with us".

One would have to read those who are experts on the Jesus Prayer…on this aspect of it…

I have often seen a warning in regards to this aspect

I don’t quite understand what you mean. Care to elaborate.

Is the concern about breath in and breath out related to the rhythm involved in Yoga ?

I remember a Catholic Bishop in India had warned christians from practicing Yoga.

But I would like to understand why you said that.

I have often seen a caution in regards to this aspect…that one should have a spiritual director who is experienced if one wishes to add breathing to it…

Though perhaps they meant more prolonged periods…(??)
Also this is from the Congr. for the Doctrine of the Faith:
  1. Eastern Christian meditation32 has valued “psychophysical symbolism,” often absent in western forms of prayer. It can range from a specific bodily posture to the basic life functions, such as breathing or the beating of the heart. The exercise of the “Jesus Prayer,” for example, which adapts itself to the natural rhythm of breathing can, at least for a certain time, be of real help to many people.33 On the other hand, the eastern masters themselves have also noted that not everyone is equally suited to making use of this symbolism, since not everybody is able to pass from the material sign to the spiritual reality that is being sought.
Understood in an inadequate and incorrect way, the symbolism can even become an idol and thus an obstacle to the raising up of the spirit to God. To live out in one’s prayer the full awareness of one’s body as a symbol is even more difficult: it can degenerate into a cult of the body and can lead surreptitiously to considering all bodily sensations as spiritual experiences.

Note too that the above is not saying the Jesus Prayer is not good…it is good! It is referred to in fact in the Catechism of the Catholic Church…and the Doc. above it notes that some have found it “at least for a certain time” to be helpful.

I do not want to say categorically “do not ever associate breathing with it” but to simply note the cautions I have read in the past (not at my fingertips right now to look into the question more)…
