Favourite Prayers?

[Windhover]

There's been a couple of examples of favourite prayers talked about on the forum. I thought it might be interesting to actually have a topic of prayers which people find helpful, but which are maybe not so well known? I guess one person's well known is another person's familiar. Here's one I like, and which I know isn't in the CTS prayer book.

Take O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me: I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more. Amen

The beautiful prayer of St. Ignatius, from his Spiritual Exercises. Have you read the book?
I don't know if the "Litany of Humility" has been posted, but it is one of my favorites.
And this prayer by St.John of the Cross:

O blessed Jesus,
give me stillness of soul in You.
Let Your mighty calmness reign in me.
Rule me, O King of Gentleness,
King of Peace.

Hi Windhover, no I haven't read the book - I do have it but haven't got round to it! Thanks for the prayer.

If anyone's interested, I've found a prayer website I really like: universalis.com - it automatically generates the Liturgy of the Hours for each day.

Hi all,

Have been using a couple of favourite pages for a while now, so thought I'd pass them on:

(I particularly recommend the Rutter's 1875 stations)

The Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me the sinner." I usually pray this on my knees, breathing in on "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God..." and breathing out on "... have mercy on me, the sinner."

The Jesus Prayer is my most important. It's the one I try to use when I am not formally "saying my prayers". If I can every hour or so I get my Crucifix out of my shirt and look on the crucified jesus as I say the prayer. Kneel if I can but more important to say it a lot.
