Jesus, My God

Jesus, my God and My Savior, You loved me so much, You died for me on the Cross, so that I, too, could return to our Father in Heaven. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Through Your Holy Eucharist, please sustain me and be present with me always on my journey home. Amen


God, the Father

Dearest Father, as Your Child, I ask — that You send Mary to guide me to Jesus, and that Jesus sends me the Holy Spirit so that they may all bring me to You. That You dwell with me, and in me — a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus, and purified by Your Holy Spirit. And may I always be with You and in You. That You permit me, as Your child, to be Your true and intimate friend – one who loves You above all things. And that You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You.

I further ask You, father, for the sake of all mankind:

To have mercy on all Your children – past, present and future.

To bring peace to the world and to gather all Your children to Yourself.

And that Your Kingdom comes and Your Will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.


St. Faustina’s Prayer

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is love and Mercy itself.

 


The Angelus

O Lord, it was through the message of an angel that we learned of the incarnation of Christ your Son. Pour your grace into our hearts, and by his passion and cross bring us to the glory of his resurrection. We ask you this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 


Before Leaving the Church

Blessed be the holy and Immaculate Concepcion of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God.

We adore you, our most holy Lord, Jesus Christ, here and all the churches which are in the world, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, bless us and keep us.

 


Holy Spirit

You who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideal. You who give the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to one and who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desires maybe. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen.

 


Prayer

My Lord, Jesus Christ, remember that I am a sinner. Most Holy Virgin Mary, pray for me. You shall always be praised and blessed. Pray for this sinner to Your Beloved Son, Precious Beauty of the Angels, the Prophets and Patriarchs, Crown of the Martyrs, Apostles, Confessors, Glory of the Seraphs, Crown of the virgins, save me from the most fearful figure of the demon when my soul departs from my body.

Oh, Most Holy fount of Piety and Beauty of Jesus Christ, Joy of Heaven, Consolation of the Clergy. Remember in our work with You, Virgin Most Prudent, the Angels are happy. Recommend my soul and the souls of all devout Christians, pray for us to Your Blessed son, and take us to the Eternal Paradise where You reign and live forever, and there we will venerate You eternally. Amen.

Sovereign Virgin Mary, Mother of the Living God, because You have delivered Him, pray for all of us sinners, so that He may pardon us, and grant us the eternal glory.

Blessed be forever the Sacred Passion and Death of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

 


Holy Spirit, My God

Holy Spirit, my God and my Sanctifier, Jesus sent You to me for my journey back home to the Father. Please purify and refine me. Fill me with Your Divine Light and Love so that the Presence of God may dwell in me. Amen.

 


After Communion – Act of Adoration

My Lord and my God! I adore you, sweet Jesus. I believe  you are in me. Stay with me, Lord. You are my God. Thank You for coming.

 


God is my Father

My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am Your child!

Especially when the skies of my soul are cloudy and my cross weighs more heavily, I feel the need to repeat to You: Father, I believe in Your love for me!

Yes, I believe that You are my a Father to me at every moment of my life, and that I am Your child!

I believe that You love me with an infinite love!

I believe that You are watching over me night and day and that not a hair falls from my head without Your permission!

I believe that, in Your infinite Wisdom, You know better than I what is good for me.

I believe that, in Your infinite power, You can bring good even out of evil.

I believe that, in Your infinite goodness, You make everything to the advantage of those who love you; even under the hands of those who strike me I kiss Your hand which heals!

I believe, but increase in me faith, hope and love!

Teach me always to see Your love as my guide in every event of my life.

Teach me to surrender myself to You like a baby in its mother’s arms.

Father, You know everything, You see everything, You know me better than I know myself; You can do everything, and You love me!

my Father, since it is Your wish that we should always turn to You, I come with confidence to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary…(request your favor).

For this intention, and uniting myself to their Most Sacred Hearts, I offer You all my prayers, my sacrifices, and mortifications, all my actions, and greater faithfulness to my duties.

Give me the light, the grace and the power of the Holy Spirit!

Strengthen me in this Spirit, that I may never lose Him, never sadden Him and never allow Him to become weaker in me!

My Father,  I ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son! And you Jesus, open Your Heart and place in it my own, and, together with Mary’s, offer it to our divine Father! Obtain for me the grace that I need!

Divine Father, call all men to Yourself. Let all the world proclaim Your fatherly goodness and Your divine mercy!

Be a tender Father to me and protect me wherever I am, like the apple of Your eye. Make me always a worthy son; have mercy on me!

Divine Father,  sweet hope of our souls, may You be known,  honored and loved by all men!

Divine Father, infinite goodness poured out on all peoples, may You be known,  honored and loved by all men!

Divine Father, beneficent dew of humanity, may You be known,  honored and loved by all men!

(Mother EUGENIA)


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.


Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; Within your wounds, hide me; Never let me be separated from you; From the malignant enemy, defend me; At my hour of death, call me and bid me; come to you, that I may promise you in the company of Your saints for all eternity. Amen.


After Confession


God, my loving Father, thank you for having forgiven me.

You are so good.

I do not want to offend you any more.

Help me to please you always.

I love you, Father.



Sixth Prayer


One our Father and One Hail Mary.

O Jesus, most loving and most desirable King! Remember the grief you suffered, when You were fastened and raised aloft on the cross, naked, like a common criminal. Your relatives and friends had forsaken You, except Your beloved Mother and a few who remained with You during Your agony.

Remember Your grief as You entrusted Your Mother to Your faithful disciple when You addressed them:

“Woman, behold your son. Behold your Mother.”

By the sword of sorrow that pierced the soul of Your Holy Mother, I beg You, O Savior, to have mercy on me in all my corporal and spiritual afflictions, and to assist me in all my trials, especially at the hour of my death. Amen.



For the Intercession of Saint Faustina


Saint Faustina, you told us that your mission would continue after your death and that you would not forget us.

Our Lord also granted you a great privilege, telling you to “distribute graces as you will, to whom you will, and when you will”.

Relying on this, I ask your intercession for the graces I need, especially (here mention your special intentions).

Help me, above all, to trust in Jesus as you did and thus to glorify His mercy every moment of my life.

Amen.



Guide Me

Lord, when I lose hope because my plans have come to nothing, help me to remember that your love is always greater than my disappointments and your plans for my life are always better and greater than my dreams. Amen.


Blessed James Cusmano


Almighty and Merciful GOD, I thank and praise you because you have endowed the heart of Blessed James Cusmano with unlimited charity to help the Poor and afflicted. Grant that, by following his example, I may be filled with his same fervent love and be constantly ready to offer my life for the glory of Your Name in the service of my fellow men, so that I too may enjoy the blessings of Your Heavenly Kingdom.

Grant also, Almighty Father, that through his intercession I may obtain the favors I so dearly need.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.



Guardian Angels


Thank You, my God in Heaven, for our Guardian Angels dear. They’re a token of your love to help us overcome life’s fears. May they guide us all to what is right in all our acts, thoughts, words and plans. Amen.



God’s Angel


God gave us each an angel to watch over us with love. They’re always carrying messages to Him in heaven above. May your angel be as wonderful as I am.

Angels

May angels rest beside your door. May they teach you what you need to know about life here and hereafter. May they fill you always with love and give you the gift of laughter.


Everyday Angel

Dear Angel ever at my side, how lovely you must be to leave your home in heaven, to guard me. When I’m far away from home or busy at school, I know you will protect me from harm along the way.



Novena to St. Jude


May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus is adored and loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time. Amen. Blessed be the Heart of Jesus, Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Jesus, Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus in the entire world and for all eternity.

Our Father… Hail Mary…

My Holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honor and invokes you universally as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone, intercede with God for me, that He may bring visible and speedy help, were help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulation and suffering particularly (make your request) that I may praise you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favour and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron and to gratefully encourage devotion to you, Amen.
