The Golden Arrow Prayer

The “Golden Arrow” prayer was dictated by Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter to atone for the sins of blasphemy against God’s name. Recite this prayer everyday, and every time you witness blasphemy. In my personal experience, I have seen miracles in relation to the Golden Arrow prayer. You will find that it has great power to convert sinners.

“May the Most Holy, Most Sacred, Most Adorable, Most Incomprehensible and Unutterable Name of God, be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on Earth, and under the Earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.”

I first found this prayer while I was in the military. I think we all have heard the saying “cuss like a sailor,” but to be clear that saying stands true for every branch of the military. I internally recited the Golden Arrow prayer every time I heard blasphemy. At first, I had to recite the prayer a few dozen times a day, but it wasn’t long before I noticed a drastic change and before I knew it, I was only saying the prayer a couple of times a week.

After leaving the military, I realized that blasphemy was not unique to the soldier. I have used the same tactics always to find the same result, but the latest instance was a boss that I had who seemed to have no filter on his tongue. I started with saying the Golden Arrow prayer every time I heard him, but I quickly realized that I wasn’t able to hear every instance of his blasphemy. I wrote the prayer down and taped it to the bottom of his keyboard so that if he flipped the keyboard over he would only see the back of the paper. I noticed a difference within a week, but within a couple of months the blasphemy had all but completely stopped.

Blasphemy is a serious offence. It is one of only three commandments that God has given us for how we are to treat Him. There are so many people who take the very name of God for granted and it is causing them to lose their souls. Love your neighbors by praying the Golden Arrow prayer often in reparation for the blasphemies of those around you.

This prayer has become very personal for me. I continue to recite this prayer multiple times a day and It has become a part of me. It’s power, it’s humility, it’s beauty, it’s intimacy and perfection with Our Lord has inspired me to develop the Knights of the Golden Arrow. An order of Knights who will put the words and the spirit of the prayer to practice. As we are made in the image and likeness of God, so we are to live honorable lives and to bring glory to His name. And, as the Knights’ mission is to defend His very name, we will also protect the faith which Our Lord has given us and His faithful.

In Nomine Domini!
