Introductory prayers to be recited before morning and evening prayers
The Sign of the Cross
|
I |
n the Name of the Father, and of the Son, ✠ and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. (50 Days. T.Q. ii. 100 Days, if made with Holy Water. T.Q.)
The Our Father
|
O |
ur 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 (Thrice)
|
H |
ail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee; blessed art Thou amongst
women, and blessed 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.
MY Mother, preserve me this day from mortal sin (After each Hail Mary) (200
Days, once a day)
The Apostles’ Creed
|
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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into
hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven,
sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall
come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the
Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Hail, Holy Queen
|
H |
ail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail our life, our sweetness and our
hope. To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, Most gracious
Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us
the blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Act of Faith
|
O |
my God, I firmly believe that
Thou art one God in three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost; I believe
that Thy divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He shall come to
judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the
holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst
neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.
Act of Hope
|
O |
my God, relying on Thy almighty
power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the
help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my
Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Act of Charity
|
O |
my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbour as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.
MORNING PRAYERS
Act of Contrition
|
O |
my God! I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee; and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of
heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who art all good, and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help
of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
Spiritual Communion
|
B |
lessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things, and I desire to possess
Thee within my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at
least spiritually into my heart.
As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee, and unite myself wholly
to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee. Amen.
A Morning Offering
|
E |
TERNAL GOD, behold me prostrate before the immensity of thy majesty. I
humbly adore Thee, and offer Thee all my thoughts, words, and works of this
day. I intend to do everything for love of Thee, for thy glory, and for the
fulfilment of thy divine will; in order to serve, praise, and bless Thee, to be
enlightened in the mysteries of our holy faith, to secure my salvation, and to
hope in thy mercy; to satisfy the divine justice for my many grievous sins, to
assist the holy souls in purgatory, and to obtain the grace of a true
conversion for all sinners. I desire, in fine, to do everything in union with
that most pure intention which JESUS and Mary had during life, and which the
saints now have in heaven, and the just on earth. Would that I could write down
this intention with my own blood, and repeat it as often as there be moments in
eternity! O my GOD, accept my goodwill; grant me thy holy blessing and
efficacious grace never to commit a mortal sin throughout the course of my
life, but particularly on this day, on which I desire and purpose to gain all
the indulgences which it is possible for me to gain, and to be present in spirit
at all the Masses which will be celebrated today in the whole world, that I may
apply them to the holy souls in purgatory, and free them from all pain.
Amen. (100 Days, once a day. ii.
Plenary, once a month)
Guardian Angel prayer
|
O |
ANGEL of GOD, whom GOD hath appointed to be my guardian, enlighten and protect, direct and govern me. Amen. (100 Days. T.Q. ii. Plenary on October 2, Feast of the Guardian Angels, if said daily, morning and evening, for a year. I, Plenary, once a month and in articulo mortis if frequently used.)
EVENING PRAYERS
|
O |
my God, I present myself before
Thee at the end of another day, to offer Thee anew the homage of my heart. I
humbly adore Thee, my Creator, my Redeemer, and my Judge. I believe in Thee,
because Thou art Truth itself; I hope in Thee, because Thou art faithful to Thy
promises; I love Thee with my whole heart, because Thou art infinitely worthy
of being loved; and for Thy sake I love my neighbour as myself. Amen.
Enable me, O my God, to return Thee thanks as I ought for Thy inestimable blessings and favours. Thou hast thought of me and loved me from all eternity; Thou hast formed me out of nothing, Thou hast delivered up Thy beloved Son to the ignominious death of the cross for my redemption; Thou hast made me a member of Thy Holy Church; Thou hast preserved me from falling into the abyss of eternal misery, when my sins had provoked Thee to punish me; and Thou hast graciously continued to spare me, even though I have not ceased to offend Thee. What return, O my God, can I make for thy innumerable blessings, and particularly for the favours of this day? O all ye angels and saints, unite with me in praising the God of mercies, who is so bountiful to so unworthy a creature. Amen.
Exam of conscience and act of Contrition
|
O |
my God! I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee; and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of
heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who art all good, and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help
of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
Jesus, my God, I love Thee above all things.
Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation.
For the faithful departed.
V. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
V. May they rest in peace. R. Amen.
