Do you find you have no time for prayer these days? Aspirationscan help! These short prayers can keep you close to Jesus and Mary! The text for this podcast can be found at www.ourcatholicprayers.com/aspirations.html
We have a partial text below for your convenience as well:
Do you feel too pressed for time to pray? These short prayers (also known as aspirations) can help! They're are easy to learn. A good many of them are easy to memorize as well!
Just as a reminder, the texts for these can be found on our website www.ourcatholicprayers.com (with no spaces between the words our catholic prayers) under the heading “aspirations” in the navigation bar on the left side of the page. We also have a direct link to the page itself on the web page for this podcast.)
They can provide you with a great way to stay in touch with our Lord and our Blessed Mother, especially for those times you feel most at your wits end!
At times like these when it seems like nothing is going right don’t lose hope! You can stay close to Jesus and Mary with these aspirations, many of which come from old prayer books. (These prayers are great in good times or bad!)
Because these prayers are brief, I will pause between each one, but feel free to combine them if you’d like. There’s no hard and fast rule about this!
In any case, I invite you to be inspired by with these short prayers by our Lord’s words: “pray always” (taken from Luke’s gospel chapter 21, verse 36) and by St. Paul’s as well. He wrote in his first letter to the Thessalonians “pray without ceasing” (in chapter 5, verse 17)!
Here’s a good short prayer to both our Lord and his Blessed Mother, for starters:
Jesus, Mary, I love you. Save souls!
Here’s a good one to the Holy Spirit. This one is especially good when said with any prayer to the Holy Spirit, but is good all on its own, especially in those times you feel most in need of His counsel, comfort, and strength!
O Holy Spirit, sweet Guest of my soul, abide in me and grant that I may ever abide in Thee.
This one is also very powerful:
Holy Spirit, command me to do Your will
This next short prayer comes especially recommended by Jesus Himself! He once told Sister Mary of St. Peter, a French Carmelite nun in 1844 "Oh, if you only knew what great merit you acquire by saying evening once 'Admirable is the name of God' in the spirit of reparation for blasphemy!"
We’ve grouped these other aspirations into the following categories:
The first one is
