Other Prayers

I don't know who created this image of Our Lady of the Eucharist, but am more than happy to give them credit if someone does know.

The Our Father




Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.



The Hail Mary


Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women. And blest is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God. Pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen


The Glory Be


Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, Amen.


Act of Contrition


Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. And I detest all my sins, because of Thy just punishments. But most of all because they offend Thee, my God. You who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin, Amen.


The Guardian Angel Prayer


Angel of God, my guardian dear,
in whom God's love entrust me here,
ever this day (night) be at our side
to light and to guard
to rule and to guide. Amen


The St. Michael Prayer


St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

The Angelus



V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

LET US PRAY. Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, they grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross, be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 
The Regina Coeli

The Memorare



Remember oh, most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to the protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided.  Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, oh virgin of virgins, our mother.  To thee we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh, Mary, mother of the Word Incarnate despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen.







The Magnificat







Prayer For an Unknown Sinner


Lord Jesus, knowing that You desire not the death of a sinner, but rather that the sinner be converted and live, I ask You to change the heart, mind and will of the person unknown to me, but known and loved by You, that I have chosen to adopt spiritually.

In Your love and mercy, grant that my efforts to live more and more a life of love for You will be of direct benefit to one otherwise given to sin, division and even violence.

Make me ever mindful that each prayer, sacrifice and right choice can serve You for the good of many. In this request may I learn to imitate the zeal and confidence of the Saints in their prayers for sinners.

With their intercession and that of Mary, our merciful Mother, may the world be converted and live in peace.

Amen.

A Prayer for a Child in Danger of Abortion

Prayer For Spiritual Supporters Of God's Precious Infants

Eternal Father, Author of All Life, I know that at this very moment a precious pre-born human life in the womb of his mother is in danger of a horrendous death.  However, at this moment, I cannot be physically present at the scene to give a witness of your love for this tiny being you knit so wonderfully in his mother's womb. Nonetheless, I wish to present my spiritual self there and, with heartfelt prayers and supplications, to send Heaven-bound all pleas and urgings that your spirit rouse hearts to change and stop the killing of these your precious infants.

Therefore, Lord, although I am unable to be at the scene, I offer as a sacrifice all my labors, thoughts, prayers, inconveniences, sufferings and pains of this day to be united especially with the efforts of those who at this very moment are trying to prevent a precious life from being denied the right to see the light of your day. I offer myself with all the Sacrifices of the Holy Masses, which are ascending right now to your Holy Throne, and with all those who are speaking right now to Jesus in the Eucharist on behalf of the preborn, in the hope that even one precious infant's life might be saved, that one mother might hold her child the day of his birth, that one father might carry his offspring even as your Son Jesus Christ was carried by His earthly father.

Precious infant in the womb, hear my longings and remember that God your Father said that even should a mother forget her infant, He will never forget you. (Isaiah 49:15) I too, united with your Heavenly Father, will not forget you and will unite my prayers and fastings this day with all your Spiritual mothers and fathers who either right now are in your physical presence or who are in their homes, workplaces or wherever duty calls. I join also with the unutterable urgings of the Holy Spirit  that labors for your birth.

Remember too, God's precious infant, that even as Rachel mourned her children who were no more (Jeremiah 31:15-17), we mourn and hope that the Mother of All Mothers, Mary our Mother, will turn these tears into a hope that no precious infant of God like yourself will have his life taken this day so violently.

Mary, Mother of God and Mother of us all, protect God's precious infants and intercede for them
and for us, Spiritual Supporters, who pray and sacrifice daily for their lives, especially for those
who at this very moment are in danger.

Finally, we pray that God forgives those mothers who this very day may make the tragic mistake and end the life within them, but more so God, we pray that this mistake not be made.

I offer these prayers to you my Holy Father, through the merits of your Son Jesus, who with You
and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for Our Nation



The Parent’s Prayer


O Master, make me a better parent. Teach me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they say, and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep me from interrupting them, talking back to them, and contradicting them. Make me as courteous to them as I want them to be to me. Give me the courage to confess my sins against my children and to ask their forgiveness when I know that I have wronged them.

May I not hurt the feelings of my children. Forbid that I should laugh at their mistakes or ridicule them in an attempt to punish. Let me not tempt them to lie and steal. Guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate by all I say and do that honesty produces happiness.

Blind me to the little errors of my children, and help me to see the good things they do. Give me a ready word for honest praise when they do right.

Help me to grow up with my children, to treat them as children and not as adults. Let me not judge them according to the standards of adult behavior. Do not allow me to rob them of the opportunity to wait on themselves, to think, to choose, and to make decisions. Forbid that I should ever punish them for my own selfish satisfaction. May I grant them all their wishes that are reasonable and have the courage always to withhold a privilege which I know would be harmful.

Lord, make me so fair and just, so considerate and compassionate to my children, that they will have a genuine esteem for me. Make me worthy of being loved and imitated by my children. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
