Lord, as I spend today going about my work,
help me to put aside any bitterness
that I’m not celebrating at home with loved ones.
I ask you, Loving Father,
to give me a special sense of your presence as I meet people,
that I may shed on them the light of the Bethlehem Star,
the Spirit of Christmas.
Amen.
You expired, O Jesus,
but the source of life gushed forth for souls
and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world
and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fount of mercy for us,
I trust in You.
Amen.
We offer to the Most Holy Trinity the merits of Jesus Christ, in thanksgiving for the most precious Blood which He shed in the garden for us; and by His merits we beseech the Divine Majesty for pardon of our sins.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be To The Father…

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be To The Father…
We offer to the Most Holy Trinity the merits of Jesus Christ, in thanksgiving for His unspeakable, by which He descended from heaven to earth to take human flesh, and to suffer and die for us upon the Cross; and by His merits we beseech the Divine Majesty to bring out souls to the glory of heaven after our death.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…

I venerate thee with my whole heart, O Most Holy Virgin, above all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, ad Daughter of the Eternal Father; and I consecrate to thee my soul with all its faculties.
Hail Mary…

I venerate thee with my whole heart, O Most Holy Virgin, above all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, as Mother of the only-begotten Son of God; and I consecrate to thee my body with all its senses.
Hail Mary…

I venerate thee with my whole heart, O Most Holy Virgin, above all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, as the beloved Spouse of the Holy Ghost; and I consecrate thee my heart with all its affections, beseeching thee to obtain for me of the Most Sacred Trinity every help for my salvation.
Hail Mary…
O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; Truly, I would flee far away; I would lodge in the wilderness.
I would hurry to find a shelter for myself from the raging wind and tempest Confuse, O Lord, confound their speech.
For I see violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go around it on its walls; and iniquity and trouble are within it.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
LORD, we ask for more than Thy Mercy! We desire Thee to reign over us. Thine interests must be ours. By the Love of Thy Sacred Heart, which surpasses all knowledge, we beg Thee, O Jesus, to fulfill in our time the promises made to St. Margaret Mary. In union with Holy Church, through the intercession of Thy Virgin Mother, for the honor of Thy Holy Name, Jesus, we ask Thee to hasten and establish the reign of Thy Divine Heart, here and now.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Hasten Thy reign, O Jesus, before Satan and the world snatch more souls from Thee and corrupt every state of life.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Come, O Jesus! and gain the victory of Thy Love in every home. Reign there by Thy Peace, promised to all who have joyfully received Thee into their homes.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Do not delay, Beloved Jesus, for many homes are suffering bitter evils which Thou alone canst heal.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Come! because Thou art strong; because Thou art the God of life’s battles. In Thy Pierced and Wounded Side is Thy Pledge to us and our hope of Heaven at the hour of death.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Good Master! what of the numberless lukewarm and indifferent souls? Hasten to enlighten them in devotion to Thy Loving Heart.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Give to priests who love Thee, and who preach Thy Love the power of eloquence to draw souls to Thy Heart.
Triumph by the reign of Thy Sacred Heart! Finally, Lord Jesus, grant that by our fidelity to First Friday Communion, we may obtain the rewards of Thy great promise the grace that we shall not die under Thy displeasure, nor without receiving the last Sacraments, that Thy Divine Heart may be our final refuge at that last hour.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, there is anger in my heart and I cannot root it out.
I know that I should calm down and offer the hurt and disappointment to You
but my emotion is running away with me.
Help me to overcome this weakness and give me peace of heart as well as mind.
Let me learn from this experience and grow into a better human being.
Amen.
Dearest Jesus, who wept at the death of your friend
and taught that they who mourn shall be comforted,
grant us the comfort of your presence in our loss.
Send Your Holy Spirit to direct us
lest we make hasty or foolish decisions.
Send Your Spirit to give us courage
lest through fear we recoil from living.
Send Your Spirit to bring us your peace
lest bitterness, false guilt, or regret take root in our hearts.
The Lord has given.
The Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Amen.
O sweet mother Mary,
who knew the sadness of mourning those your heart loved most,
Jesus, your Son,
and Joseph, your devoted spouse,
pray for us in our time of loss.
Amen.
Mercy of God, encompass us, and deliver us from every plague.
Glory Be To The Father…
Eternal Father, sign us with the Blood of the Immaculate Lamb, as Thou didst sign the dwellings of Thy people.
Glory Be To The Father…
Most precious Blood of Jesus, our love, cry for mercy for us from Thy Divine Father, and deliver us.
Glory Be To The Father…
Wounds of my Jesus, mouths of love and mercy, speak for us in pity to the Eternal Father; hide us within yourselves, and deliver us.
Glory Be To The Father…
Eternal Father, Jesus is ours; ours His Blood, ours His infinite merits; to Thee we offer ourselves wholly; then, if Thou lovest Him, and holdest precious this gift we make Thee, Thou surely wilt deliver us; and for this we hope with fullest confidence.
Glory Be To The Father…
Eternal Fahter, Thou desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; in Thy mercy grant that we may live before Thee, and be forever Thine.
Glory Be To The Father…
Save us, Christ our Saviour, by the virtue of Thy holy Cross: Thou Who didst save Peter in the sea, have mercy upon us.
Mary, Mother of mercy, pray for us, and we shall be delivered; Mary, our advocate, speak for us, and we shall be saved.
The Lord justly scourgeth us for our sins; but do thou, Mary, plead for us, for thou art our most tender Mother.
Mary, in Thy Jesus and in thee have we put our hope: Oh! let us never be confounded.
Salve Regina…
O God, Who knowest us to be set in the midst of such great perils, that, by reason of the weakness of our nature, we cannot stand upright, grant us such health of mind and body, that those evils which we suffer for our sins we may overcome through Thine assistance. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
