More conveniently, you could just say the words "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner" repeatedly to yourself. This prayer does things.

Repeating many other phrases "does things" too.

Any brief, reflective, perspective-shifting phrase is adequate -- there's no need to invoke any particular mythology.

Respectfully I disagree. Different phrases do different stuff. Some are outright dangerous. The above prayer is particularly healthy and helpful.

Equally respectfully, there is no contradiction in your disagreement. :)

Some phrases are more useful than others. Some have negative effects.
