Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
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, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
Who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell;
the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain.
So God granted him what he requested.
1 Chronicles 4:10
Amen.
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
- St. Patrick
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
O glorious Apostle St. Jude,
Faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
The Church honors and invokes you universally,
As the patron of difficult cases,
Of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Please come to my assistance
In this great need that I may receive
The consolation and help of heaven
In all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings,
And that I may praise God with you
And all the elect forever.
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
My memory, my understanding, and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
That is enough for me.
O Lord my God, I believe in you,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
I adore you, I hope in you,
I love you, and I ask pardon for those who do not believe in you,
do not adore you, do not hope in you, and do not love you.
O my God! I offer you all my actions of this day
for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart,
my every thought, my simplest works,
by uniting them to Its infinite merits;
and I wish to make reparation for my sins
by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.
O my God! I ask of you
for myself and for those whom I hold dear,
the grace to fulfill perfectly Your Holy Will,
to accept for love of You
the joys and sorrows of this passing life,
so that we may one day be united together
in Heaven for all Eternity. Amen.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have you present
so that I do not forget You.
You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much
and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You,
a nest of Love. Amen.
O Lord, guide my steps and illuminate my path.
In moments of uncertainty, grant me wisdom and discernment.
Help me make choices that align with Your will
and lead me closer to Your purpose for my life.
I surrender my plans to You,
knowing that Your plans are always greater.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I place my hope in You.
When the challenges of life seem overwhelming,
when darkness and despair cloud my vision,
I turn to You, the source of my hope.
Renew my spirit, O Lord,
and fill me with Your light.
Help me to trust in Your promises,
to find strength in Your presence,
and to hold fast to the hope that never fades.
In You, I find my refuge and my strength.
Amen.
O holy Father Benedict, blessed by God both in grace and in name, who, while standing in prayer,
with
hands raised to heaven, didst most happily yield thy angelic spirit into the hands
of thy Creator,
and hast promised zealously to defend against all the snares of the enemy
in the last struggle of
death those who shall daily remind thee of thy glorious departure and
heavenly joys; protect me, I
beseech thee, O glorious Father, this day and every day, by thy
holy blessings, that I may never be
separated from our dear Lord, from the society of thyself,
and of all the blessed.
Through the same
Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, I surrender myself to You.
Take care of everything!
I entrust all to You: my heart, my mind, my body,
my health, my family, my finances, my work,
my joys, my sorrows, my hopes, my fears.
I surrender all to You, Lord.
Help me to let go of control and trust in Your divine providence.
May Your will be done in my life.
I place my trust in Your love and mercy.
Amen.
Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.
Strengthen my faith, O God,
that I may trust in Your promises,
even when doubts and questions arise.
Give me the courage to seek understanding,
the humility to accept Your mysteries,
and the wisdom to know that Your ways are higher than mine.
Increase my faith, Lord,
and grant me the grace to live according to Your will.
Amen.
O, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place
in you all my interests and desires.
Assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from
your divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
So that, having engaged here
below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
O,
St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while
He reposes near your heart.
Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return
the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. Amen.
