These are my daily morning prayers. It
may look like a lot, but it actually only takes less than ten minutes to
say them all. Some prayers, though shown here separately, I have merged
into one prayer, and that is why I do not have an "amen" after
them.
Fatima
Morning Offering:
Oh my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer thee the precious Blood of Jesus from all of the altars
throughout the world, joining with it the offering of my every thought,
word and action of this day. Oh my Jesus, I desire today to gain every
indulgence and merit that I can, and I offer them, together with myself,
to Mary Immaculate that she may best apply them to the interest of thy
Most Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us; Immaculate Heart of
Mary, pray for us; Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Amen.
Prayer to keep the Presence of God:
Lord God Almighty, you have brought us safely to the
beginning of this day. Defend us today by your mighty power, so that we
may not fall into any sin; that all our words may so proceed and
all our thought and actions be so directed as to be always just in your
sight.
Prayer before a day's work:
Direct, we beg you O Lord, our actions by your holy
inspirations, and grant that we may carry them out with your gracious
assistance; that every work and prayer of ours may begin always with you
and through you be happily ended. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Prayer to one's Guardian Angel (this is a child's prayer,
but I still find it useful):
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me
here; ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and
guide. Amen.
Prayer for the Pope (it is always appropriate to follow
this prayer with one Our Father and one Hail Mary for the Holy Father's
intentions):
Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI: The
Lord preserve him and give him life and make him blessed upon the earth, and
deliver him not to the will of his enemies.
The 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.
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.
Prayer to St. Joseph:
St. Joseph, father and guardian of virgins, to whose faithful
keeping Christ Jesus, innocence itself, and Mary, the virgin of virgins
were entrusted; I pray and beseech you by that twofold and most precious
charge, by Jesus and Mary, to save me from all uncleanness; to help keep
my mind untainted, my heart pure, and my body chaste, and to help me
always to serve Jesus and Mary in perfect chastity. Amen.
Hail Holy Queen:
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of
Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor
banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and
weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine
eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed
fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary; pray
for us, O holy Mother of God, that we made be made worthy of the promises
of Christ.
Almighty and everlasting God, by the cooperation of the Holy
Spirit you prepared the body and soul of Mary, glorious Virgin and Mother,
to become the worthy habitation of your Son; grant that by her gracious
intercession, in whose commemoration we rejoice, we may be delivered from
present evils and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our
Lord, Amen.
May the divine assistance remain with us always, Amen.
Daily renewal prayer (this prayer is for those who have
made the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary):
Immaculata, Queen and Mother of the Church; I renew my
consecration to you this day and for always, so that you may use
me for the coming of the Kingdom of Jesus in the whole world. To this end
I offer you all of my prayers, actions and sacrifices of this day.
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to
you, and for all those who do not have recourse to you, especially the
enemies of the Church and those recommended to you. Amen.
Holy Face Devotion (the Holy Face is the image
on the Shroud
of Turin):
O Lord Jesus, grant us through the merits of thy many
sufferings, that by venerating on earth the image of thy Holy Face, upon
which the very angels long to gaze, we may be made worthy to contemplate
it forever in heaven. Amen.
Fatima Offering to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
(this is a prayer that I composed using elements of the prayers taught by
the angel to the children at Fatima, which I have gleaned from the book The
Crusade of Fatima by Fr.
John de Marchi. As best I can tell, this prayer incorporates
all of the prayers that the angel exhorted the children to pray daily,
with the exception of those that are included in the Fatima Morning
Offering):
My God I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you. I beg pardon
of you 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 and I offer all my sufferings, past and present, as a sacrifice
in reparation for the sins of the world by which the Most Sacred Heart of
Jesus is wounded and by which the Immaculate Heart of Mary is pierced.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of
Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of your
mercy. Through the intercession of St.
Padre Pio and Blessed Jacinta and Francisco Marto I offer the
sacrifice of all my sufferings, past and present for the conversion of
sinners.
My Jesus, it is for the love of you, for the conversion of
sinners, and in reparation for sins committed against your Most
Sacred Heart and against the Immaculate Heart of Mary that I beg these
things through the intercession of St. Padre Pio and Blessed Jacinta and
Francisco Marto. Amen.

which, by the way, is a virtue :-) |
