Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

The Our Father

Our Father, who are 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 are thou among 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.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almight, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was concieved by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried.  He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the ressurection of the body, and life everlasting.  Amen.

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because of Your just punishments, but most of all because they offended You, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.  Amen.

Morning Offering

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my family and friends, and in particular for the intentions of our Holy Father.  Amen.

Evening Prayer

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake,

or watch or weep tonight,

and give Your angels and saints

charge over those who sleep.

Tend Your sick ones,

O Loving Lord;

rest Your weary ones;

bless Your dying ones;

soothe Your suffering ones;

pity Your afflicted ones;

shield your joyous ones.

And all for Your love's sake.

Amen.

-Prayer by St. Augustine

Spiritual Communion of St. Alphonsus

My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.  I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul.  Since I cannot now recieve You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You.  Amen.

Prayer for Daily Neglects

Eternal Father, I offer you the Sacred Heart of 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...

Second: to purify the good I have done badly this day and during all my life.

Glory be to the Father...

Third: to supply for the good I ought to have done and that I have neglected to do this day and during all my life.

Glory be to the Father...

Act of Reparation

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you.  I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly.

I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences by which He Himself is offended.

By the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of all poor sinners, especially that of Your Priests and Religous.

Amen.

Prayer of Charity

Gracious God, I offer You my heart-felt gratitude for Your countless graces and blessings to me and my loved ones each day.

In response to Your goodness, dear Lord, help me to be aware of the needs of my least sisters and brothers, and to assist those who are poor and less fortunate with generous expressions of charity, kindness and caring.

On that day, O Lord, when I finally stand before You to give an account of my life, I pray I will hear You say, "Come, O good and faithful servant to share your Father's joy, for when I was hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless, ill and imprisoned, you offered your gifts in charity, and you lovingly did it for Me."  Amen.

Prayer for the Holy Souls

O immense Passion, O profound Wounds, O most bitter Death, O most precious Blood, O Sweetness above all sweetness, give them eternal rest.  Amen.

Charity of the Heart of Jesus, flow into my heart.
