Prayers (A-Z)

Heavenly Father, You create men in Your own image, and You desire that not even the least among us should perish.In Your love for us, You entrusted Your only Son to the holy Virgin Mary. Now, in Your Love,protect against he wickedness of the devil,those little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.

Lord Jesus, Help me to be straightforward like the sky-seeking redwood tree. May my generosity be like the sap which ascends and nourishes. May my soul be clear like the spring water at its origin. May my will be like the faultless granite. May You be always throughout my life a constant companion. May the cross which rises at the crossroads be for me like the meeting of a friend. 

Amen.

Te adoro con devoción, Dios escondido, oculto verdaderamente bajo estas apariencias. A Ti se somete mi corazón por completo, y se rinde totalmente al contemplarte. Al juzgar de Ti, se equivocan la vista, el 

tacto, el gusto; pero basta el oído para creer con firmeza; creo todo lo que ha dicho el Hijo de Dios: nada es más verdadero que esta palabra de verdad. En la Cruz se escondía sólo la Divinidad, pero aquí se 

esconde también la Humanidad; creo y confieso ambas cosas, y pido lo que pidió aquel ladrón arrepentido. No veo las llagas como las vio Tomas pero confieso que eres mi Dios: haz que yo crea más y más en Ti, 

que en Ti espere y que te ame. ˇOh memorial de la muerte del Seńor! Pan vivo que das vida al hombre: concede a mi alma que de Ti viva y que siempre saboree tu dulzura. Seńor Jesús, bondadoso Pelícano, 

límpiame a mí, inmundo, con tu Sangre, de la que una sola gota puede liberar de todos los crímenes al mundo entero. Jesús, a quien ahora veo oculto, te ruego que se cumpla lo que tanto ansío: que al mirar tu 

rostro cara a cara, sea yo feliz viendo tu gloria.

Amén.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who, by the will of the Father, with the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, have by Your death given life to the world, deliver me by this Your Most Sacred Body and Blood from all sins and from every evil.

Amen.

Intercede for me At the throne of God, And by your unceasing watchfulness Protect me in every danger Of soul and body. 

Obtain for me The grace of final perseverance, So that after this life I may be admitted To your glorious company And may sing with you The praises of God For all eternity. 

O all you holy Angels And Archangels, Thrones and Dominations, Principalities and Powers And Virtues of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim And especially you, My dear Guardian Angel, Intercede for me And obtain for me The special favor I now ask 

Say 9 Our Father…

I salute thee, holy Angel who didst comfort my Jesus in His agony, and with thee I praise the most holy Trinity for having chosen thee from among all the holy Angels to comfort and strengthen Him who is the comfort and strength of all that are in affliction. By the honor thou didst enjoy and by the obedience, humility and love wherewith thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus, my Savior, when He was fainting for very sorrow at seeing the sins of the world and especially my sins, I beseech thee to obtain for me perfect sorrow for my sins; deign to strengthen me In the afflictions that now overwhelm me, and in all the other trials, to which I shall be exposed henceforth and, in particular, when I find myself in my final agony.

Amen.

O my Jesus, 
I beg You on behalf of the whole Church: 
Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit 
and give power to the words of priests 
so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance 
and return to You, O Lord.

Lord, give us holy priests; 
You Yourself maintain them in holiness. 
O Divine and Great High Priest, 
may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere 
and protect them from the devil’s traps and snares 
which are continually being set for the souls of priests. 
May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, 
shatter and bring to naught 
all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, 
for You can do all things. 
I ask You, Jesus, 
for a special blessing 
and for light for the priests 
before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime.

Amen.

O my God, how displeasing my sins are to you.
Forgive me, cleanse me.
Help me to sing the perfect Kyrie eleison.
Come into my soul, and find it pleasing. Repose in my heart.
Let Thy entirety, sweet Jesus, of Thee in the Eucharist, engage me all the day, so when rest comes, I may find my sleep in your sweet heart.

Amen.

Come, O blessed Saviour,
and nourish my soul with heavenly Food,
the Food which contains every sweetness and every delight.

Come, Bread of Angels,
and satisfy the hunger of my soul.

Come, glowing Furnace of Charity
and enkindle in my heart the flame of divine love.

Come, Light of the World,
and enlighten the darkness of my mind.

Come, King of Kings,
and make me obedient to your holy will.

Come, loving Saviour,
and make me meek and humble.

Come, Friend of the Sick,
and heal the infirmities of my body
and the weakness of my soul.

Come, Good Shepherd, my God and my All,
and take me to yourself.

O most holy Mother, Mary Immaculate,
prepare my heart to receive my Saviour.
