GENERAL PRAYERS

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

HAIL,MARY
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art 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

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 Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, sits 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 Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen

He has shown the strength of his arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.

Lord Jesus Christ, Take all my freedom, my memory, my understanding, and my will. All that I have and cherish You have given me . I surrender it all to be guided by Your will. Your grace and Your love Are wealth enough for me. Give me these, lord Jesus, And I ask for nothing more.

JESUS, HELP ME!
In every need let me come to You with Humble trust, saying: Jesus, help me! In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations: Jesus, help me! In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials: Jesus help me! In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments, troubles and sorrows: Jesus, help me! When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me: Jesus, help me! When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior: Jesus, help me! When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts: Jesus, help me! When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me: Jesus, help me! When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely: Jesus, help me! Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

CONSECRATION OF THE HUMAN RACE TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS.
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Your altar. We are Yours and Yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with You, behold we freely consecrate ourselves today to Your Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never known You; many, too, despising Your precepts, have rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Your Sacred Heart. Be King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken You, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned You. Grant that they may quickly return to their father's house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd. Grant, O Lord, to Your Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole with one cry: Praise to Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to Him be glory and honor forever. Amen

O Mother of the word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen

*Pray for us

PRAYER OF POPE JOHN PAUL II (For the Family)
Lord God, from You every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. Father, you are love and life. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, the fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of live and love. Grant that Your grace may guide the thoughts and actions of husbands and wives for the good of their families in the world. Grant that the young may find in the family solid support for their human dignity and for their growth in truth and love. Grant that love, strengthened by the grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass. Through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that the Church may fruitfully carry on her worldwide mission in the family and through the family. We ask this of you, who is life, truth, and love with the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

PRAYER FOR THE DECEASED
Remember, Lord, those who have died and have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, especially those for whom we now pray, N. And N. May these, and all who sleep in Christ, find in Your presence light, happiness, and peace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

PRAYER BEFORE A CRUCIFIX
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your face I humbly kneel; and with burning soul pray and beseech You to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity; true contrition for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment; while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Your five wounds, pondering upon them within me; while I call to mind the words which David Your prophet said to You, my Jesus, "They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones."
