Credo in Deum Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 is it troubling to you if someone chose 'hail mary' or something else instead of something more specific to Jesus? No. All prayers are received by Christ and heard by the Most Holy Trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 When I thought I was dying, I prayed the Hail Mary. I could only remember the first half and kept saying it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've been in a few life-threatening or risky situations, and in those times the Hail Mary has come into my mind more quickly than any other prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefebvre Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hail Mary, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ryan Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Probably the Hail Mary, because it is specific to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysostom Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 In the arms of the Theotokos you will find cradled the head of Christ. So run into the arms of the Theotokos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Definitely the Hail Mary. :) But once when I was being attacked by a dog, I literally cried out, "St. Michael! Help!" I was in pain & so scared that I couldn't say anything else...& that dog literally stopped attacking me, turned around & walked away. Blessed be God in His angels & in His saints :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Therese Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hmmm. I think my first instinct would be the Glory Be. Sort of that last offering of everything, good and bad, beyond my power to change anymore.... I'd offer it as all I had to give towards His greater glory.And if I had breath and any further moments I'd definitely back it up with a Hail Mary, and an invocation to St Joseph, patron of a happy death.

Selah Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hail Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ave or Pater both seem appropriate. Ave perhaps more so since it specifically invokes Our Lady at the time of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marigold Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a poor sinner. I'm inclined to think the same for me. It's happened a lot of times in 'emergency' situations and it just pops out, it's not something I choose to say. One of the kids I work with almost ran out under a car the other day and I screamed Lord have mercy! in the split second before I grabbed him back. Then again the other 50% of the time it's F-bombs.

CountrySteve21 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If I could manage it the nunc dimittis, but most likely the Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
