Prayers (A-Z)

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts,
all the earth is full of Thy glory.

O Sacrament most Holy!
O Sacrament divine!
Be every moment Thine!

Lord Almighty, Creator of all life,
Thank You for creating the angels.
As dedicated and faithful servants,
They instantly act upon Your commands.
Please direct Your angels to assist me,
Ensuring the accomplishment of Your work,
In accordance with Your Divine will.

That Your angels are available to me
As restrainers of diabolic obstacles.

Let Us Pray

Unite me to Thyself, 
O adorable Victim. 
Life-giving heavenly Bread, 
feed me, 
sanctify me, 
reign in me, 
transform me to Thyself, 
live in me; 
let me live in Thee; 
let me adore Thee in Thy life-giving Sacrament as my God, 
listen to Thee as to my Master, 
obey Thee as my King, 
imitate Thee as my Model, 
follow Thee as my Shepherd, 
love Thee as my Father, 
seek Thee as my Physician 
who wilt heal all the maladies of my soul. 
Be indeed my Way, 
Truth and Life; 
sustain me, 
O heavenly Manna, 
through the desert of this world, 
till I shall behold Thee unveiled in Thy glory.

Amen

I believe, dearest Jesus, 
that Thou art united to my soul, 
by Thy real presence. 
Filled with consolation, 
I clasp Thee to my breast, 
and return Thee thanks 
for this Thine infinite mercy. 
Why unite Thyself to a soul so full of self-love, 
so cold towards Thee, 
so averse to mortification and self-denial? 

Thou knowest how much I am attached to pleasure, 
comfort and honour, 
how ill I endure the slightest provocation, 
a harsh word, 
or the most trifling adversity. 
Why, then, my sweet Saviour, 
unite Thyself to so vile and despicable a creature? 

It is not sufficient for Thee 
to visit my soul with Thy divine lights, 
to lead me on in the paths of salvation? 
Why condescend to visit me in person? 
Dear Jesus, 
I have neither words nor feelings 
adequately to express the extent of Thy goodness. 

I clasp Thee to my heart; 
I adore Thee as my first treasure, 
my supreme Lover, 
my first beginning, 
and my last end, 
my chief and only good.

O that I could adore Thee 
with those feelings with which 
the Blessed Virgin adored Thee on earth, 
and with which she now adores Thee in heaven! 
O that like her, 
I could die, 
consumed by transports of the most ardent love for Thee!

Complete, my dear Saviour, 
the salutary designs which 
Thou hast in paying me this visit. 
Thou hast given me light and strength 
to abandon the paths of perdition; 
grant me now light and grace to know, 
and steadily to advance in the ways of salvation. 

Dear Jesus, 
deny me not the grace 
requisite for overcoming my passions, 
and remaining faithful to Thee.
Grant that I may renounce all earthly satisfactions, 
and place my delight in pleasing Thee, 
my God, my treasure, and my all.

By Thine infinite goodness, 
and by Thine infallible promise of never abandoning 
those who cast themselves into Thine arms, 
to be directed by Thee, 
I beseech Thee, O Lord, 
to grant me this grace. 

Grant it to me, 
by the merits of Thy most precious Blood, 
of that saving and vivifying Blood, 
so profusely shed for the salvation of all, 
and for the tender consolation of Thy faithful servants.

Come to my aid,
O Mary,
my dearest Mother;
intercede for me and enable my unworthy petition to find,
through Thine intercession,
a ready acceptance.

Alas! have pity on Thy poor child,
and cease not to exert a mother’s care in its behalf.
Take me, O Mary,
take me under thy protection;
thou shalt not always find me so unworthy 
as I have hitherto been.

I will endeavour to copy thy virtues,
especially thy humility and purity,
which have ever been so dear to thee.

Hail, august Mother of Jesus Christ!
receive my humble homage of praise and thanks.
Obtain for me innocence of heart and purity of mind, 
that so my thoughts and affections 
may be ever pure and chaste.

By thy most powerful intercession, 
obtain for me the grace to reap 
solid and lasting advantages from the holy Sacrament, 
of which I have just participated; 
to imitate faithfully thy virtues, 
and to steadily follow thine example during my life, 
so that in heaven 
I may be associated with thee 
in eternally praising the unspeakable 
and infinite goodness of thy Son. 

Thou who wast never defiled by sin, 
preserve me in future from its cursed contagion; 
inflame my heart with divine love, 
that I may ever adhere to my Jesus, 
and be never separated from Him eternally.

Good St. Anne, you were especially favored by God to be the mother of the most holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Savior. By your power with your most pure daughter and with her divine Son, kindly obtain for us the grace and the favor we now seek. Please secure for us also forgiveness of our past sins, the strength to perform faithfully our daily duties and the help we need to persevere in the love of Jesus and Mary.

Amen.

My good Angel, Thou comest from heaven; God has sent thee to take care of me. Oh, shelter me under thy wings. Lighten my path, direct my steps. Do not leave me, stay quite near me and defend me against the spirit of evil. But above all come to my help in the last struggle of my life. Deliver my soul so that with thee it may praise, love and contemplate the goodness of God forever and ever.

Amen.

(Whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in 
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” 
[Col. 3:17])

O Jesus, sweet Jesus, O Jesus divine,
My life and my death unto Thee I resign.
Every action of mine shall Thy patronage claim;
For whatever I do shall be done in Thy name.

(Renew your good intention frequently during the 
day and especially as the beginning 
of any important work or duty by some short 
ejaculatory prayer, for example:)

All in the name of Jesus.

All for the glory of God.

All for Jesus.

All for the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the immaculate 
heart of Mary.

In the name of the Father, + 
and of the Son, 
and of the Holy Ghost. 

Amen.

Come Holy Spirit, 
enlighten my mind and direct my will, 
that I may do what is pleasing to Thee 
and conductive to my salvation.

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;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He will 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.
