Excellent post!
I have not seen this prayer before but it will now become part of each morning. Thank you so much.
I want to add for those who may not be aware that the Jesus Prayer, also known as Prayer of the Heart is used by some as praying without ceasing. If one is called to it, praying it continuously, after a while it continues in our mind, well not really mind, but being, continuously without our having to maintain it. The prayer is: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
FWIW.. and thank you again for this thread.
We're in the process of starting up a pro-life Catholic home hospice service. After reading Devotion For The Dying by Mother Mary Potter, I've slightly edited/added to the prayer for my own use:
O Jesus,
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings
of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,
in thanksgiving for your favors,
in reparation for my sins,
for the intentions of all my relatives and friends,
for all those who are dying or will die this die,
and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
(If you have not read Devotion For The Dying by Mother Mary Potter, its worth a read. We all need to remember to pray for the dying and especially those at the hour of death, and the Church suffering.)
