PRAYERWe create all kinds of

difficulties in our prayer. Let usgo back to what Jesus has taught– the intimate and simple prayer:‘Our Father...’ Even little children can pray this. Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Jesus said: When you pray, there is no need

to use many words. Your Father knows what youneed before you ask him. Pray like this:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy

name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, onearth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our dailybread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgivethose who trespass against us, and lead us notinto temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I cannot bring myself to hunt through books for beautiful

prayers. There are so many of them that I get a headache. Besides, each prayer seems lovelier than the next. Icannot possibly say them all and do not know which tochoose. I behave like a child who cannot read: I tell Godvery simply what I want and He always understands.For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, anuntroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude andlove which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well asfrom the heights of joy... St. Theresa of Lisieux

A construction worker who visited St. Patrick’s

Cathedral every day on his lunch hour was asked by oneof his fellow workers, “What do you do there?” Heresponded, “I say, Hello, Jesus, this is Jerry. Then I lookat Him, and He looks at me.”

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed

are you among women and blessed is the fruit of yourwomb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for ussinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and the Holy

Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and will beforever. Amen.

Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were

alone with Him, with familiarity and confidence andlove, as to the dearest and most loving of friends.Ask those who love Him with a sincere love, and theywill tell you that they find no greater or prompter reliefamid the troubles of their life than in loving conversationwith their Divine Friend. Speak to Him often of yourbusiness, your plans, your troubles, your fears – ofeverything that concerns you. St. Alphonsus Liguori

I should be distressed that I

drop off to sleep during myprayers... But I don’t feel at alldistressed. I know that childrenare just as dear to their parentswhether they are asleep orawake, and I know that doctorsput their patients to sleep beforethey operate. I’d never before heard it said

that one’s faults did not distress God, and I wasoverwhelmed with joy when I did receive this assurance. It gave me patience to endure this life of exile. It was,too, the echo of my inmost thoughts. For a long time Ihad realized that Our Lord was more tender than amother – and how well I know the depths of tendernessin more than one mother’s heart! I know that a mother isalways ready to forgive the misbehavior of her child. St. Theresa of Lisieux

It is a great grace of God to

practice self-examination; but toomuch is as bad as too little. Believe me, by God’s help, weshal l advance more bycontemplating God than bykeeping our eyes fixed onourselves. St. Teresa of Avila

Must you continue to be your

own cross? No matter whichway God leads you, you changeeverything into bitterness byconstantly brooding overeverything. For the love of God,replace all this self-scrutiny witha pure and simple glance atGod’s goodness! St. Jane de Chantal

Prayer of TrustO God, quiet haven of the storm-tossed, you give hope to those whohope in you. Savior of the sick,help of the needy, leader of theblind, you are a light amidst thedarkness.O Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,O light never-failing, who hasallowed me to share in yoursuffering on the Cross, look withmercy upon me, for I submit mywhole self to your wisdom andlove.

Prayer of Early Christians

O Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ,who came to call not the just butsinners to repentance, I give youthanks for accepting me as a victimfor the glory of your name. Youoffered yourself as victim on thecross for the salvation of the wholeworld. I offer my suffering to you,who with the Father and the HolySpirit reign God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 23The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.Fresh and green are the pastureswhere he gives me repose.Near restful waters he leads me,to revive my drooping spirit.

He guides me along the right path;he is true to his name.If I should walk in the valley ofdarkness no evil would I fear.You are there with your crook andyour staff; with these you give me comfort.

You have prepared a banquet forme in the sight of my foes.My head you have anointed withoil. My cup overflows.

Surely, goodness and kindnessshall follow me all the days of mylife, and I shall dwell in the houseof the Lord forever.

Litany For All Who Are SickLord, God of creation,master of our lives,we come before you as the leperpleading before Jesus for himselfand the centurion pleading foranother. Be not far from us, andhear our prayers.

For the healing of our hands, thatwe may extend them in love tostrangers, we pray, Lord, havemercy.

For the healing of our ears, that wemay clearly hear your voice andyour call, we pray, Lord, havemercy.

For the healing of our hearts, thatwe may delight in you and theworks of your hands, we pray,Lord, have mercy.

For the healing of our arms, thatwe may fashion a world of hope,we pray, Lord, have mercy.

For the healing of our legs, that wemay help to carry the burdens ofthe oppressed, we pray, Lord, havemercy.

For the healing of our lips, that wemay always speak your praise, wepray, Lord, have mercy.

For the healing of our knees, thatwe may bend them before yourmajesty, we pray, Lord, havemercy.

For the healing of our feet, that wemay carry the message of yourpeace to the high mountains, wepray, Lord have mercy.

God our Father, come to us todayand heal the ills of our lives.

O God, grant us a deeper sense offellowship with all living creatures,our little brothers and sisters, towhom, in common with us, youhave given this earth as home. Werecall with regret that in the pastwe have acted high-handedly andcruelly in exercising our domainover them.Thus, the voice of the earth, whichshould have risen to you in song,has turned into a groan of travail.May we realize that all of thesecreatures also live for themselvesand for you – not for us alone.They too love the goodness of life,as we do, and serve you better intheir way than we do in ours

St. Basil of Caesarea, born 330

Prayer For Peace

O sweet and holy Jesus, you are

the King of Kings, the Lord ofLords and the Prince of Peace. Most Merciful Savior, bringmuch needed peace to all troubledparts of the world, where hatredand violence rage and the fear ofwar spurs despair among mankind. May the leaders of nations makewise choices based on the commongood of humanity rather thandecisions based on prideful andpolitical displays of power.May dialogue and understandingovercome the deep seated woundsof groups pitted against oneanother by anger and distrust.In your loving kindness grantcomfort to the displaced, healing tothe wounded, and mercy to allthose who have lost their lives.Please protect all in harms way.and allow justice and peace toreign together.May the voice of your Churchcontinue to boldly proclaim theGospel of Peace, for you told us“Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children ofGod.” Amen. Pedro de la Cruz

Acts of ContritionMy God, I am sorry for my sins

with all my heart. In choosing todo wrong and failing to do good, Ihave sinned against you whom Ishould love above all things. Ifirmly intend, with your help, to dopenance, so sin no more, and toavoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ sufferedand died for us. In his name, myGod, have mercy.

Wash me from my guilt and

cleanse me of my sin.I acknowledge my offense; my sinis before me always.

Psalm 51:6-7

Lord Jesus, you chose to be called

the friend of sinners. By yoursaving death and resurrection freeme from my sins. May your peacetake root in my heart and bringforth a harvest of love, holiness,and truth.

Lord Jesus, Son of God, have

mercy on me, a sinner.

+Let nothing disturb you, let

nothing frighten you. All thingspass: God never changes. Patienceachieves all it strives for. Whoeverhas God lacks nothing. God alonesuffices.

St. Theresa of Avila

Oh God, my God, be everything

to me. Even when my heartcondemns me, be greater than mysins. I am not holy or worthy ofyou. Make it so that I do not haveto be. Show me, show the wholeworld, that you can carvesomething acceptable even fromthe most flawed stone.

John Carmody

The Heart of ChristLord, you invite all who areburdened to come to You.Allow Your healing hand to healme.Touch my soul with Yourcompassion for others.Touch my heart with Your courageand infinite love for all.Touch my mind with Your

wisdom, that my mouthmay always proclaim yourpraise.

Teach me to reach out to You inmy need, and help me tolead others to You by myexample.

Most loving Heart of Jesus, bringme health in body andspirit that I may serve Youwith all my strength.

Touch gently this life which youhave created, now and forever. Amen.

O tender Father, you gave me

more, much more, than I everthought to ask for. Thank you, andthank you again, O Father, forhaving granted my requests, andfor having granted those thingsthat I never realized I needed orsought.

St. Catherine of Siena

May Christ shield me today...Christ with me, Christ in me. Christ before me, Christ behindme. Christ beneath me, Christabove me. Christ on my right,Christ on my left. Christ when Isit, Christ when I stand. Christwhen I lie down. Christ in theheart of everyone who thinks ofme. Christ in the mouth ofeveryone who speaks of me. Christ in every eye that sees me. Christ in every ear that hears me.

St. Patrick of Ireland

Jesus Lord, I offer you this daybecause I believe in you, love you,hope all things in you, and thankyour for your blessings. I am sorryfor having offended you andforgive everyone who has offendedme. Lord, look on me and leaveme in peace and courage. Give mehumble wisdom that I may serveothers with you, and be pleasing toyou always.

Dear Jesus, help us to spread your

fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your spiritand life. Penetrate and possess ourwhole being so utterly that ourlives may only be a radiance ofyours. Shine through us and in us,so that everyone we come incontact with may feel yourpresence in our soul. Stay with us,and then we shall begin to shine asyou shine, so as to be light toothers. The light, O Jesus, will beall from you. It will be youshining on others through us. Letus thus praise you in the way welove you best, by shining love onthose around us. Amen.

Mother Theresa of Calcutta

I have no wish to go to Lourdes to

have ecstasies. I prefer themonotony of sacrifice. St. Therese of Lisieux

Sometimes put yourself very

simply before God, certain of hispresence everywhere, and withoutany effort, whisper very softly tohis Sacred Heart whatever yourown heart prompts you to say.

St. Jane de Chantel

Dear God, please help me

overcome the guilt that I feel. Giveme your love to ease my heart andlift these feelings of remorse. Helpme to recognize that I can not goback and change the past. Let meremember that you have alreadyforgiven me. Please soothe mymind so that I may forgive myself. Guide me so that I may moveforward. Focus my thoughts andactions on today and tomorrowinstead of the regrets of yesterday.

Be praised, my Lord, with all

your creatures, especially brothersun, who brings day, and you giveus light by him...Be praised, my Lord, for sister

moon and the stars inheaven, you have madethem clear and precious andlovely.

Be praised, my Lord, for brotherwind and for the air, cloudyand fair, and in the weatherby which you givesustenance to yourcreatures.

Be praised, my Lord, for sisterwater, who is very useful andhumble.Be praised, my Lord, for brotherfire.Be praised, my Lord, for ourmother earth.

St. Francis of Assisi

Let me love you, My Lord and my

God, and see myself as I really am- a pilgrim in this world, aChristian called to respect and loveall whose lives I touch, those inauthority over me or those undermy authority, my friends and myenemies. Help me conquer angerwith gentleness, greed bygenerosity, apathy by fervor. Helpme to forget myself an reach outtowards others. Pope Clement XI

Go and find Jesus when your

patience and strength give out andyou feel alone and helpless. He iswaiting for you in the chapel.. Sayto him, “Jesus, you know exactlywhat is going on. You are all Ihave, and you know all. Come tomy help.” And then go and don’tworry about how you are going tomanage. That you have told Godis enough. He has a good memory.

St. Jeanne Jugan

The Feast of Corpus Christi

encourages us to become, in ourlives, imitators of what we celebratein the liturgy. The Christ whonourishes us under the consecratedspecies of bread and wine, is thesame Christ whom we meet duringthe course of everyday life. He isthe suffering person who imploresour help. He is in the brother or sister who asks us to bethere, and awaits our welcome. He is in every humanbeing, even the smallest and most defenseless.”

Pope Francis

The most Blessed Sacramentis Christ made visible. Thepoor sick person is Christ againmade visible.

St. Gerard Majella

The temple of our afflicted neighbor’s

body is more holy than the altar of stoneon which you celebrate the holysacrifice. You are able to contemplatethis altar everywhere, in the street and inthe open squares. St. John Chrysostom
