1. The Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the most pure heart of Mary and in
union of the most sacrifice of the Mass,
I offer to you my prayers
works, joys and sufferings of this day and I beseech you to give me
Thy
grace that I may offend you but do thy holy will in all
things.
Amen.
2. The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed by 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 trespass, as we forgive
those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil.
Amen.
3. The Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst 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.
4. Glory be to the Father
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy
Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever
shall be, world
without end.
Amen.
5. The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of
heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was
conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died and was
buried.
He descended to the dead; on the third he arose again and
ascended into heaven where he sits at the right hand
of God, the Father
Almighty; from thence He shall come again 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.
6. Act of Contrition
O my God, I am very sorry for having offended you
and I beseech you to give me Thy grace never more to offend
you.
Amen.
7. Grace before and after meals
Bless us O Lord and these thy gifts which of Thy
bounty we are about to receive through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
We give thee thanks O almighty God
for all Thy benefits we
have received through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
8. Prayer to our Guardian Angel
O angel of God my guardian dear, to whom God's love
commits me here, ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to
rule and guide.
Amen.
9. Prayer of St. Patrick
Christ be beside me, Christ be before me, Christ be
behind me, King of my heart.
Christ be
within me, Christ be below me, Christ be above me, never to part.
Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand,
Christ all around me, shield in the strife.
Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting, Christ in my rising, light
of my life.
Christ be in all hearts thinking about me, Christ be
on all tongues telling of me,
Christ be the vision in eyes that see me,
in ears that hear me, Christ ever be.
Amen.
10. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
All highest glorious God, cast your light in to the
depths of my heart.
Give me right faith, firm hope, perfect charity,
profound humility,
so that I may do what is truly your holy
will.
Amen.
11. Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful and
enkindle them with the fire of your Divine Love,
send forth your
Spirit and they shall be created and Thou shall renew the face of the
earth.
Let us pray O God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the
light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that we may be truly wise and ever
rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our
Lord.
Amen.
12. A night time prayer
Here as I lie down to sleep, to God I give my soul to
keep.
If anything disturbs me, the Blessed Virgin awaken me.
St.
Matthew, St. Mark. St. Luke, St. John, God bless this bed that I lie
on.
Amen.
(Note: This prayer was taught to me by my Father when I was quite
young) |
