I’ve been a naughty blogger and not actioned my Prayer Memes following tags from ‘puzzled’ and ‘The Cellerar’ – mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! So here goes, two tags for the price of one. A sort of spiritual BOGOF (buy one get one free!) Apparently there are some rules to be observed. They are:
Name your three most favourite prayers, and explain why they're your favourites.
Then tag five bloggers - give them a link, and then go and tell them they have been tagged.
Finally, tell the person who tagged you that you've completed the meme.
This is hard work! Is there some sort of recompense? An indulgence I can claim? 500 days or whatever off the great purging, post shuffle of the mortal coil? Anyway, here goes.......
Prayers:
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have the most need of Thy mercy. Amen. Because Our Lady asked us to pray it during the rosary. As the whole world is en route to hell on a tide of filth, blasphemy and greed this prayer is needed ever more fervently.
Saint Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle;be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Do I really need to explain why this is a favourite? Do I?

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Because it reminds me of the transcendence and immutability of God.

I love your prayer choices Brian. It is nice to share prayers. It reminds us of some forgotten favourites and intorduces us to some new ones. Thanks for taking part.

I like the prayer to St. Michael as well. It seems to be quite popular in this meme.
Hello Mark
