Dialogued Prayer on the Beatitudes

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Keep us from being preocuppied with money and worldly goods, and with trying to increase them at the expense of justice. Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” Help us not to be ruthless with one another, and to eliminate the discord and violence that exists in the world around us. Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Let us not be impatient under our own burdens and unconcerned about the burdens of others. 

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be filled.” Make us thirst for you, the fountain of all holiness, and actively spread your influence in our private lives and in society. 

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” Grant that we may be quick to forgive and slow to condemn.

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.” Free us from our senses and our evil desires, and fix our eyes on you.

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Aid us to make peace in our families, in our country, and in the world.

Lord Jesus, you said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of justice, for the kingdom of heaven in theirs.” Make us willing to suffer for the sake of right rather than to practice injustice; and do not let us discriminate against our neighbors and oppress and persecute them.

Direction of the Intention before Holy Communion 1

I intend to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, 
and to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, 
according to the rite of the holy Roman Church, 
to the praise of Almighty God 
and of the whole Church on earth; 
for all those who have commended themselves unto my 
prayers, 
in general and in particular; 
and for the happy estate of the holy Roman Church.

Amen.

Joy with peace, 
amendment of life, 
time for true repentance, 
the grace and comfort of the Holy Ghost, 
perseverance in good works, 
a contrite and humble heart, 
and a happy consummation of my life, 
grant unto me, 
O Almighty and merciful Lord. 

Amen.

Divine Glory and Human Digni

How great is your name, O Lord our God, through al the earth!

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars which you arranged, what are we that you should keep us in mind, men and women that you care for us?

Yet you have made us little less than gods; and crowned us with glory and honour, gave us power over the works of your hands, put all things under our feet.

How great is your name, O Lord our God through all the earth!

(Psalm 8)

Divine Mercy

Eternal God,
in whom mercy is endless 
and the treasury of compassion
inexhaustible, 
look kindly upon us 
and increase Your mercy in us, 
that in difficult moments 
we might not despair 
nor become despondent, 
but with great confidence 
submit ourselves to Your holy will, 
which is Love and Mercy itself.

Amen.

Prayer to the Divine Mercy

O Lord, behold here before You a soul who exists in this world in order to allow You to exercise Your admirable mercy and manifest it before heaven and earth. Others may glorify You through their faithfulness and perseverance, thus making evident the power of Your grace. How sweet and generous You are to those who are faithful to You! 

Nevertheless, I will glorify You by acquainting others of Your goodness to sinners and by reminding them that Your mercy is above all malice, that nothing can exhaust it, and that no relapse, no matter how shameful or criminal, should allow the sinner to despair of forgiveness.

I have offended You grievously, O Beloved Redeemer, but it would be still worse if I were to offend You by thinking that You were lacking in goodness to forgive me. I would rather He deprive me of everything else than the trust I have in Your Mercy.

Should I fall a hundred times or should my crimes be a hundred times worse that they actually are, I would continue to trust in Your mercy.

Amen.

Prayer after the Divine Office

To the Most Holy and undivided Trinity, 
to the Humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified, 
to the fruitful Virginity of the most blessed and most 
glorious Mary, ever Virgin, 
and to the whole company of the Saints, 
be everlasting praise, honour, and glory, by all 
creatures; 
and to us remission of all our sins, world without end.

Amen.

V. Blessed be the womb of the Virgin Mary, 
which bore the Son of the Eternal Father.
R. And blessed be the breast which nourished Christ the 
Lord.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
