Pia Jesu Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Dealing with some anxiety issues...I've been drawn to the Eastern Prayer of the Heart--or what we call "The Jesus Prayer." Saying "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me..." (as a type of breath-prayer) is the only way I can fall asleep at night. And like Nihil's story, I find that spending time in front of the Blessed Sacrament to be a transformative experience--even if all I can utter is "Jesus." I believe it was St. John of the Cross who said that "what we need most to make progress [in this life] is to be silent before this great God..and that the language He hears best is silent love." There is a wonderful Prayerscape video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EOUa3tWbcg Hope the link works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam42 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 As the Church taught us through the public prayer she has sanctioned....The Divine Office and Holy Mass. I also pray the rosary daily and I engage in several private devotions, most notably to Our Lady of Perpetual Help (a Perpetual Novena), through DeMontfort's True Devotion to Mary, and a very strong devotion to the Miraculous Medal.
