Prayers (A-Z)

We believe in one God, 
the Father, the Almighty,
Maker of all that is, seen and unseen. 

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial
of one Being with the Father. 

Through him all things were made. 

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man. 

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried. 

On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end. 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son. 

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. 

He has spoken through the Prophets. 

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. 

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. 

We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

Eternal Father, 
I desire to rest in Thy Heart this night. 
I make the intention of offering to Thee 
every beat of my heart, 
joining to them as many acts of love and desire. 
I pray that even while I am asleep, 
I will bring back to Thee souls that offend Thee. 
I ask forgiveness for the whole world, 
especially for those who know Thee and yet sin. 
I offer to Thee my every breath and heartbeat 
as a prayer of reparation.

Amen.

God, come to my assistance.
Lord make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.

O my God, I thank you for having preserved me today
and for having given me so many blessings and graces.
I renew my dedication to you and ask your pardon for 
all my sins.

Make a short review of the day, briefly recalling with 
gratitude the good things that have happened, and 
repenting in sincere sorrow the sins you have committed.

1. Heart of Jesus, perfect Adorer of God, teach me to adore the Father with Thee and by Thee. 

2. Heart of Jesus, burning with love of me, inflame me with Thy Divine Love.

3. Heart of Jesus, only Victim worthy of God, unite me to Thy Divine Sacrifice.

4. Heart of Jesus, overwhelmed with bitterness for the sins of men, break my heart with sorrow for my sins.

5. Heart of Jesus, sovereignly humble, annihilate my pride.

6. Heart of Jesus, perfect model of meekness, inspire my heart with this salutary virtue.

7. Heart of Jesus, infinitely pure and without stain, give me an inviolable purity of body, mind, and heart.

8. Heart of Jesus, consumed with zeal for the glory of the Father, enkindle in my heart an ardent zeal for Thy glory and my own sanctification.

9. Heart of Jesus, reign for ever in my heart, and grant me the grace to reign one day with Thee in Heaven.

No se paren en mi entierro y lloren,
No estoy ahí, Yo no duermo.
Soy mil vientos que soplan,
soy el brillo del diamante en la nieve,
soy la luz del sol en los granos maduros,
soy la lluvia gentil en otońo.
Cuando despiertes en la paz de la
mańana, soy la chispa de energia
callada que hace volar a los pajaritos
en circulos, soy las estrellas que
brillan de noche.
No se paren en mi entierro y lloren,
no estoy ahí, Yo nunca morí.

No sufras por mi estoy libre. Estoy Siguiendo el camino que dios a dispuesto para mí; tome sus manos cuando escuche su llamado. Volví mi espalda dejando todo.

No podía estar otro día para reír, amar, trabajar o jugar. Las tareas que se quedaron sin concluir tienen que quedar así. Yo encontré la paz al cerrar el día. Si mi partida ha dejado un vacio, entonces llénalo con gozo recordando una amistad compartiendo una sonrisa, un beso, un sí, esas cosas que yo también voy a extrańar.

Te deseo la luz del sol de mańana. Mi vida ha sido satisfactoria, he saboreado muchos Buenos amigos, Buenos tiempo y el toque de las personas amadas. Quizás mi tiempo se ha visto muy breve, no demores mas con Dolores innecesarios. Levanta tu Corazón y goza conmigo, porque dios me quiere ahora.

El me ha llamado y me ha liberado.

Dear Saints Isaac Jogues, John Brebeuf, Noel Chabanel, Gabriel Lalemant, Anthony Daniel, Charles Garnier, Rene Goupil and John Lalande, we beg of you, pray for the people of this vast country ours.

You are the first canonized saints of the United States and Canada. We are glad to have you. We are happy to honor you. You know our country and its needs, and we know you are in heaven praying for us.

There is one very special favor we wish to ask of you. Dear Saints of North America, pray God to send us another saint, or better still, a number of them. Ask Him to have soon–a man or a woman, a boy or a girl from this country of ours raised to the honors of the altar. Let it be a farmer or a laborer, a housewife or a schoolboy, born and bred in these United States. Let it be some one who lived his whole life here–a Saint Joseph of Carville County, or a Saint Mary of Middletown, or a Saint William of New York.

We do not wish to displace you in our affections, but to add to your glorious number. You understand our desires in this, and we feel sure that we will obtain this great blessing for the salvation of the people of this land. Remember us now, and obtain this great blessing for us from God. Help us always to cooperate with the graces that God so richly and generously gives us, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). 

There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). 

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times).

Glorious St. Benedict, sublime model of virtue, pure vessel of God’s grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at your feet. I implore you in your loving kindness to pray for me before the throne Of God. To you I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.

Graciously obtain for me from God those favors and graces which I need so much in the trials, miseries and afflictions of life. Your heart was always full of love, compassion and mercy toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. You never dismissed without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to you. I therefore invoke your powerful intercession, confident in the hope that you will hear my prayer and obtain for me the special grace and favor I earnestly implore (name it).

Help me, great St. Benedict. to live and die as a faithful child of God, to run in the sweetness of His loving will and to attain the eternal happiness of heaven.

Amen.

Say the following prayers each day:

O Lord our God, 
You alone are the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations. 
We pray to You, Lord, 
in the great expectation of receiving from You, 
O Divine King, mercy, peace, justice and all good things.
Protect, O Lord our King, our families and the land of our birth. 
Guard us we pray Most Faithful One. 
Protect us from our enemies and from Your Just Judgment
Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against you.
Jesus, You are a King of Mercy.
We have deserved Your Just Judgment
Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us.
We trust in Your Great Mercy.
O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before You and pray;
May Your Reign, Your Kingdom, be recognized on earth.

Amen.
