When we evoke prayer, we often think of the prayer of recollection, that meditative, internalized prayer. However, there is another type of prayer that, on the contrary, is a spontaneous prayer, short like a burst of the heart: the ejaculatory prayer.

What is the ejaculatory prayer?
The ejaculatory prayer is a short and fervent prayer that can be said at any time of the day, regardless of the activity we are doing. It is a spontaneous impulse of the soul towards God! For a moment our soul is united with God. As sneaky as they are, these moments are very important. Added together, they form a life of prayer and allow us to place our relationship with the Lord at the very center of our day.
