Catholic Prayers
Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy
Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent! Receive our gratitude, and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God.

Holy Mary, help the miserable, strengthen the discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy, intercede for all women consecrated to God. May all who venerate you feel now your help and protection. Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual concern to pray for the people of God, foryou were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever. Amen.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Lord, my strength and my Redeemer,
let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in Your sight.
I offer praise to You for the grace You have bestowed
on Your humble missionary, Father Francis Xavier Seelos
May I have the same joyful vigor
that Father Seelos possessed during his earthly life
to love You deeply and live faithfully Your gospel.
Amen.

Thank you for the prayers, I definitely need them, especially after going to my cardiologist yesterday. He said one day I will need to make a very difficult decision, which will also be contingent upon my health at the time, the choice between a new valve (since the current one seems to be leaking again) or a new heart (since I have a weak heart muscle as it is). He said the advantage of the latter is that I would not need a pacemaker anymore but I really don't see that as a plus given the alternative.

Thank you again for the prayers.

God Bless

Prayer about St. Patrick
God our Father,
you sent Saint Patrick to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.
By the help of his prayers,
may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

St. Augustine's Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.

I love this prayer, pray it daily, and normally pray it when asked to say a little prayer, or before I write my homily. This is definitely one of my favorite prayers. Thank you

Litany for Priests
Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
give all priests Thy spirit of humility;

Jesus, poor and worn out for souls,
give all priests Thy spirit of zeal;

Jesus, full of patience and mercy for sinners,
give all priests Thy spirit of compassion;

Jesus, victim for the sins of the world,
give all priests Thy spirit of sacrifice;

Jesus, lover of the little and the poor,
give all priests Thy spirit of charity.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us;
and obtain for us numerous and holy priests and religious. Amen.

To Christ, King of the Universe
O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the Universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Exercise upon me all Your rights. I renew my baptismal promises renouncing Satan and all his works and pomps. I promise to lead a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You my poor actions in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Your sacred royalty and that thus the reign of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen.

St. Claude La Colombiere


My God, I believe most firmly
that You watch over all who hope in You,
and that we can want for nothing
when we rely upon You in all things.
Therefore I am resolved for the future...
to cast all my cares upon You...

People may deprive me of worldly goods and status.
Sickness may take from me my strength
and the means of serving You.
I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin,
but my trust shall never leave me.
I will preserve it to the last moment of my life,
and the powers of hell shall seek in vain
to grab it from me.

Let others seek happiness in their wealth
and in their talents.
Let them trust in the purity of their lives,
the severity of their mortifications,
in the number of their good works,
the enthusiasm of their prayers,
as for me, my Rock and my Refuge,
my confidence in you fills me with hope.
For You, my Divine Protector,
alone have settled me in hope.

"This confidence can never be vain.
No one, who has hoped in God,
has ever been confounded."

I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness,
for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in You.

"In You, O loving God, have I hoped:
let me never be confounded."

I know too well that I am weak and changeable.
I know the power of temptation
against the strongest virtue.
I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack;
these things do not alarm me.
While I hope in You, I am sheltered from all misfortune,
and I am sure that my trust shall endure,
for I rely upon You to sustain this unfailing hope.

Finally, I know that my confidence
cannot exceed Your generosity,
and that I shall never receive less
than I have hoped for from You.
Therefore I hope that You will sustain me
against my evil inclinations,
that You will protect me
against the deceitful attacks of the evil one,
and that You will cause my weakness
to triumph over every hostile force.
I hope that You will never cease to love me
and that I shall love You unceasingly.

"In You, O loving God, have I hoped:
let me never be confounded."

O God, we praise Thee, and acknowledge Thee to be the supreme Lord.
Everlasting Father, all the earth worships Thee.
All the Angels, the heavens and all angelic powers,
All the Cherubim and Seraphim, continuously cry to Thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy glory.
The glorious choir of the Apostles,
The wonderful company of Prophets,
The white-robed army of Martyrs, praise Thee.
Holy Church throughout the world acknowledges Thee:
The Father of infinite Majesty;
Thy adorable, true and only Son;
Also the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
O Christ, Thou art the King of glory!
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When Thou tookest it upon Thyself to deliver man,
Thou didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.
Having overcome the sting of death, Thou opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all
believers.
Thou sitest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that Thou willst come to be our Judge.
We, therefore, beg Thee to help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy
Precious Blood.
Let them be numbered with Thy Saints in everlasting glory.

V. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance!
R. Govern them, and raise them up forever.

V. Every day we thank Thee.
R. And we praise Thy Name forever, yes, forever and ever.

V. O Lord, deign to keep us from sin this day.
R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.

V. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, for we have hoped in Thee.
R. O Lord, in Thee I have put my trust; let me never be put to shame
