Prayer Meme

My three favourite prayers are as follows;



Number 1



Not sure what it is called but it is a combination of prayer and liturgy, which I once picked up on an Orthodox website, started using, and now I use it most days after Vespers.



Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal One have mercy on us (x3)



Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth

Who art everywhere present and fillest all thing

Treasury of good gifts, giver of life, come and abide in us

and cleanse us of our impurity, and save our souls o Good One



Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner (x3)



All Holy Trinity one have mercy on us

Lord be gracious to us in our sins

Master forgive us our trespasses

Holy One consider our weaknesses and visit them

for Thy name sake



Glory to you God, Glory to you

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

world without end Amen.



Number 2



Again discovered within the Orthodox tradition during my Tiber Swim, The Jesus Prayer "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner!" is a favourite of mine and I use it quite often both as an arrow prayer at times of need and also sometimes in a longer meditative fashion with my rosary beads.  You will notice it is also part of my number 1 choice,  but I think on its own it is a different prayer. As a short arrow prayer at times of temptation or anxiety,  or as a longer meditation, say before the Blessed Sacrament or time of penance.



Number 3
