These are great Juluque,

I hope you don't mind, but I made some English corrections. I wasn't sure what the first one was saying.

decir los Jesuses to help to die ?somebody in a catholic fashion.

en un decir Jesús, or en un Jesús = in an instant, in a very short period of time.

hasta verte, Jesús mío. drinking quickly until you see the bottom of the glass (in the old times most glasses had the inscription IHS at the bottom)

Jesús! to denote admiration, pain, fear or pitty

Jesús, María y José. = Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Jesús, mil veces. To denote great worries or fear

sin decir Jesús. (to express how instantaneous the death of a person can be.)

First one: Possibly, to help a person facing death. Catholic sacrament of extremunction?? - Nicole-B, Feb 24, 2010
yeah basically it is to pray next to t a person who is dying. - juluque, Feb 24, 2010
That is "extremeunction"/extreme unction; anointing of the sick or last rites. - Nicole-B, Feb 24, 2010
thanks - juluque, Feb 24, 2010
Please, (Nicole and Juluque): "extreme unction". Two words, not one. - samdie, Feb 24, 2010
Thanks Samdie. I put both because I wasn't sure. - Nicole-B, Feb 24, 2010

Here are a few you can check Juluqe:

Jesus is the Way, the truth and the life: Jesús es el camino, y la verda,y la vida.

Jesus is my Rock: Jesús es mi piedra?

Here is one I didn't know how to translate, but it is used a lot, especially in hymns and songs:

Jesus is my strong tower.

I found several versions of this, but I am curious to see what you think. smile
