Prayer MeMe, not about me..

Rosary Red

Apparently this has been moving around the internet. You pick your favorite prayers, then tag others to do the same.

I was tagged by Justin Combs, who is a fellow Catholic Musician from Ohio. I found out about this via a tweet.  I followed the links backwards and learned about other musicians and or Catholics. Clayton Imoo, Odd Walk Ministries, Bob Rice   and the links go on…and on…!

Prayers I love…here are 3!

17th Century Nun’s Prayer

Lord, Thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older and will someday be old.

Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody’s affairs.

Make me thoughtful but not mooday.

Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.

Seal my lips on my aches and pains.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for humility and a lessening cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And, give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen

The next two are very short.

Jesus, remember me, when you come into your Kingdom.

Lord, Jesus, Come. Be with me now.

 

So to pass this on to others:

I tag Heartfelt Heartlook, who is Margaret Corbitt, who also writes for the Catholic Examiner. She wrote lyrics for a song of mine! The lyrics came first, and then the music.  Met her on Twitter..

The Snoaring Scholar written by Sarah Reinhard, has many irons in the fire..family, books, new media galore. And she is very nice, too!  Met her on Twitter….

The Sober Catholic  I know prayer is a huge part of recovery. I know Robin Meyers will have some great prayers. Met him on Twitter….

Did I mention, that I met these great people on Twitter? These, and a lot more!
