Take 5 minutes to give God your intentions and rest in His Peace.

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you. -- From CCC 226 St. Nicholas of Flue; cf. Mt 5:29-30; 16:24-26.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Let nothing trouble you / Let nothing frighten you Everything passes / God never changes Patience / Obtains all Whoever has God / Wants for nothing God alone is enough. From CCC 227 -- St. Teresa of Jesus, Poesias 30 in the Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, vol. III, tr. K. Kavanaugh OCD and O. Rodriguez OCD (Washington DC Institute of Carmelite Studies, 1985), 386 no. 9. tr. John Wall.

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven, on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen (This prayer was revealed by Our Lord to a Carmelite Nun, Sr. Mary of St. Peter of Tours in 1843. "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully," He said, "and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy.")

To Be Said at 6:00 a.m., Noon and 6:00 p.m. V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, R. And she conceived of the Hoty Spirit. Hail Mary... V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary... V. And the Word was made flesh, R. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary... V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that, we to whom the Incamation 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 the same Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

O Divine Eternal Father, in union with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the power of Your greatest enemy - the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of Your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully Yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You, with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen. Imprimatur: March 1973, †Richard H. Ackerman, Bishop of Covington "God governs the world but prayer governs God."

Lord, You wished to create me, I would not exist were it not for Your Almighty Power. You created me because You love me, and I want to love You the way You have loved me. Lord, two thousand years ago, mankind walked the earth in darkness, lost by the sin of our first parents. And You, in obedience to the Father and out of love for me, decided to become flesh in the Virgin's womb. You became a man so as to suffer for me, redeem me from my sins, and open the gates of Heaven for me. Thank you for Your Love, Jesus; thank you for being born of the Blessed Virgin. Thank you, dear Mother, for saying yes to God and allowing the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, to become man. Lord Jesus, You are here with me now. You came into the world to teach me. You left me the path I must take to reach You and possess You forever in the Gospel. Thank you, Jesus, for such love. You truly are Almighty God. I am a poor and miserable creature; and yet You loved me and continue to love me, not only in words, but with real love, love shown in works. That is why I know that You are with me now, in my heart, watching over me. Guide my prayer, Lord, cleanse my soul of all my sins and selfishness and fill it with Your Light and Your Love. Grant me the grace I need most, because without You, I can do nothing.

Make me a channel of Your Peace Where there is hatred let me bring Your Love Where ther is injury, Your Pardon, Lord And where there is doubt true faith in You Make me a channel of Your Peace Where there's despair in life let me bring hope Where there is darkness only light And where there's sadness ever joy Oh, Master grand that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love with all my soul Make me a channel of Your Peace It is in pardoning that we are pardoned In giving to all men that we receive And in dying that we are born to eternal life In Jesus Name, Amen.

Oh Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, and for the Holy Father's intentions this month. In Jesus Name, Amen.

A SHORT WAY OF THE CROSS As used by The Franciscan Fathers on their Missions First Station: Jesus Is Condemned to Death O Jesus! So meek and uncomplaining, teach me resigna- tion in trials. Second Station: Jesus Carries His Cross My Jesus! This Cross should be mine, not Thine! My sins crucified Thee. Third Station: Our Lord Falls the First Time O Jesus! By this first fall, never let me fall into mortal sin. Fourth Station: Jesus Meets His Mother O Jesus! May no human tie, however dear, keep me from following the road of the Cross. Fifth Station: Simon, the Cyrenean, Helps Jesus Carry His Cross Simon unwillingly assisted Thee; may I with patience sut- fer all for Thee. Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus O Jesus! Thou didst imprint Thy sacred features upon Veronica's veil; stamp them also indelibly upon my heart. Seventh Station: The Second Fall of Jesus By Thy second fall, preserve me, dear Lord, from relapse into sin. Eighth Station: Jesus Consoles the Women of Jerusalem My greatest consolation would be to hear Thee say: "Many sins are forgiven thee, because thou hast loved much." Ninth Station: Third Fall of Jesus O Jesus! When I am weary upon life's long joumey, be Thou my strength and my perseverance. Tenth Station: Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments My soul has been robbed of its robe of innocence; clothe me, dear Jesus, with the garb of penance and contrition. Eleventh Station: Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross Thou didst forgive Thy enemies; my God, teach me to for- give injuries and forget them. Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross Thou art dying, my Jesus, but Thy Sacred Heart still throbs with love for Thy sinful children. Thirteenth Station: Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross Receive me into thy arms, O Sorrowful Mother, and obtain for me perfect contrition for my sins. Fourteenth Station: Jesus Is Laid in the Sepulcher When I receive Thee into my heart in Holy Communion, O Jesus, make it a fit abiding place for Thy adorable Body.

O merciful Infant Jesus! I know of Thy miraculous deeds for the sick because of the innumerable graces and the cures granted ... through the veneration of Thy Holy Infancy, particularly in the statue of Prague ... I exclaim with the greatest assurance: O most loving ... Infant Jesus, thou canst cure me if Thou wilt! Extend Thy Holy Hand and by Thy Power take away all pain and infirmity. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Hail Mary, White Lily of the Glorious and always-serene Trinity. Hail brilliant Rose of the Garden of heavenly delights: O you, by whom God wanted to be born and by whose milk the King of Heaven wanted to be nourished! Nourish our souls with effusions of divine grace. Amen! At the hour when the soul which has thus greeted me quits the body I will appear to them in such splendid beauty that they'll taste, to theirgreat consolation, something of the joys of Paradise. The Blessed Virgin to St. Gertrude the Great (Revelations book III, chapter XVIII)

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. You have given all to me. To You, O Lord, I return it. Everything is Yours, dispose of it wholly according to Your will. Give me the grace to love You. That is enough for me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Eternal Father, we humbly offer Thee our poor presence and that of the whole of humanity from the beginning to the end of the world at all the Masses that ever have or ever will be prayed. We offer Thee all the pains, suffering, prayers, sacrifices, joys and relaxations of our lives, in union with those of our dear Lord Jesus here on earth. May the Most Precious Blood of Christ, all His blood and wounds and agony save us, through the sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen! (This prayer should be prayed daily, and made known.) Dear St. Philomena, pray for us that purity of mind and heart which lead to the Perfect Love of God! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy Heavy Cross, which so tore Thy Flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other Wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain and by the crushing burden of Thy Heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen. -- Imprimatur: Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield, Ma. It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded suffering and Our Lord answered." had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound, which was more painful than the others and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound with thy devotion and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through Its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins and will no longer remember their mortal sins."

Dear St. Joseph, I ask for a healthy body, mind, and spirit. I ask to be strong in virtue, overcome vice, detach from all unhealthy or unholy attachments, and be the man I am created to be. I consecrate my life to you again, and I ask for your intercession for all my intentions, that they may be purified, granted, and fulfilled. Help me live out the holy deaths your Son calls me to. St. Joseph, Father for the Father, Husband to Mary, Terror of demons, pray for me. Father, I ask for peace. Amen.

In the Name of God of the Most Holy Trinity, of the Father of the Only Begotten Son, and of the Holy Spirit, depart evil spirits so that they cannot see or hear our activities with our plans, and so that they cannot deceive us, nor persecute us, nor interfere with our plans and projects, or cause confusion, in our efforts to serve God. The Lord God commands them to turn away and never to return. Oh Lord Most Holy and Almighty make us invisible to our enemies. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exists in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life. You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the Evil One himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot. [Mention your request here] I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all. You are my hope. O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains. Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge! Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

A Prayer which would release 1,000 souls fromPurgatory each time it is said. Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said. Recommendations: Pray it at least twice, to at least release twice as many souls! After the prayer, ask the Holy Souls to pray for your intentions. "Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory. -Amen" Our Lady said that if we pray the prayers "we'll deliver so many souls, so many souls!" "The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory." BIBLE - 2 Machabees, Chapter 12. Verse 46: "it is, therefore, a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sins." An indulgence, applicable ONLY to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted when the faithful devoutly visit a cemetery and pray for the departed.

Mother Mary, I give you my heart and my human will and the human wills of all my brothers and sisters so you can give them to Jesus for I am too little. Jesus, help me to do Your will. Help me have the: Wisdom to see it Courage to follow it Patience to live it Desire to make it my own Tenacity to see it through Grace to make mine Yours Right people in my path to achieve it Peace to choose it Perseverance to endure it Love to help it grow Joy to realize it Jesus, all I am is Yours. Let it be done to me according to Your Word. Not my will, but Yours be done. I love You, Jesus. Amen.

Jesus, teach me to pray. Teach me to listen. Teach me to hear You and know when it's You speaking. Teach me Your ways. Help me come to you, know you, and love you. Help me become more like You. Jesus, I need you now and I let you in...I commit my life to you today. I consecrate my life to Your Sacred Heart, Your Mother's Heart, and Joseph's heart. All I am is Yours. I give everything to You. Show out in my life today. Help me get closer to You. Jesus, in Your Holy Name. Amen.

Jesus, I ask for all Your graces and mercies today. All of them. Especially the ones I forget to ask for and the ones that are often not asked for. Jesus, I surrender my day to You through Your Mother, instead of surrendering to it. Jesus, through Mary, I give You all my work, fasting, sufferings, pleasures, desires, thoughts, and feelings. I commit them all to you now, through the hands and heart of Your Mother, to do with as You and she wishes and wills. I commit my life to You again. I consecrate my life to Your Sacred Heart, Your Mother's heart, and Joseph's heart. You know the way. And I will let go the need to know why because you know better than I. I give everything to You, Jesus. Amen.

Mother Mary and Joseph, I pray, and ask for my future spouse. With my limited understanding, I pray for us to be married as soon as possible. I desire and pray for total union and intimacy with my spouse. I pray that our hearts may be one just as your hearts are one. I pray that they may be attractive, sexy, beautiful, and someone I could love and never get tired of loving for the rest of my life. I pray that they are healthy, healed, virtuous, and a great parent. I pray that we’d be such a gift to each other. I pray for compatibility, lifelong romance, alignment of values, and out of this world chemistry. I pray that they age gracefully, becoming more beautiful as they get older. I pray for our mutual sanctity. With my limited understanding, I pray that they may be the fulfilment of my wish list, unless you or your Son have something better in mind. Mother and father, with my limited understanding, grant me these things if it pleases you. Purify my desires if not. Give me the grace, clarity, and peace I need to change, prepare, and wait for my future spouse. Let your Son’s will be done in me according to His Word. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Jesus, through Joseph, help me to be a man. Help me to take responsibility, love sacrificially, reject passivity, and lead courageously. Help me advance to protect and provide and even risk where fitting, instead of retreat - in all facets of life today, especially in my: ⁃ choices laid before me ⁃ decisions I make ⁃ situations I encounter ⁃ interactions I have ⁃ relationships I nurture ⁃ struggles I face ⁃ burdens I carry ⁃ work I do Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus, I let You in...be my comfort, guide, and zeal today. Give me Your power to overcome the retreating moments and the grace to recognize them. Help me grow in virtue today and say yes to what You have planned for me. I need Your strength. I'm weak without You. Be my inner and outer strength. Father, for anything I'm missing today, fill in my gaps: ⁃ Be where I'm not ⁃ See where I can't ⁃ Hear what I can't ⁃ Feel what I can't ⁃ Be strong where I'm weak ⁃ Be still where I'm restless ⁃ Be tender where I'm rough ⁃ Be truth where I don't believe ⁃ Be virtuous where I've yet to begin ⁃ Be my influence where I fall short ⁃ Be enough where I'm not In Jesus Name. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Hear ol Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits. First - To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. (Glory be to the Father and to the Son and the Holy Ghost as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.) Second - To purify the good I have done badly this day and during all my life. (Glory Be to the Father...) Third - To minister for the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected this day and during all my life. (Glory Be to the Father...) -- A poor Clare nun who had just died, appeared to her Abbess, who was praying for her, and said to her, "I went straight to Heaven, for, by means of this prayer, recited every evening, I paid all my debts."

Saint Michael appearing one day to Antonia d' Astonac, a most devout Servant of God, told her that he wished to be honored by nine salutations corresponding to the nine Choirs of Angels, which should consist of one Our Father and three Hail Mary's in honor of each of the angelic choirs. Promises of St. Michael Whosoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching the Holy Table, an escort of nine angels chosen from each one of the nine choirs. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from purgatory for themselves and their relations.

My current evening prayer I say every night.

By a rescript of November 24. 1922 the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences approved the following formula for a spiritual communion: "O Jesus I turn toward the holy tabernacle where You live hidden for love of me. I love you, O my God. I cannot receive you in Holy Communion. Come nevertheless and visit me with Your grace. Come spiritually into my heart. Purify it. Sanctify it. Render it like unto Your own. Amen. Lord, I am not worthy that thou should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. An indulgence of 500 days, if thrice repeated. (129 The Raccolta 1944).

My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to Thee, and to show my devotion to Thee, I consecrate to Thee this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore good Mother as I am Thine own, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession. Amen. "An indulgence of 500 days"
