Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.
Apostle's 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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended to the dead; on the third day He arose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
Act of Faith
O God,
I firmly believe all the truths that you have revealed and that you teach us through your Church, for you are the truth itself, and can neither deceive or be deceived.
Act of Hope
O God,
I hope with complete trust that you will give me, through the merits of Jesus Christ, all the necessary grace in this world and everlasting life, in the world to come, for this is what you have promised and you always keep your promises.
Act of Charity
O My God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Memorare
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known in any age
that any one who fled your protection, implored your help and sought your intercession, was left abandoned. Inspired with this confidence, therefore I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to you I come; before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Do not O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise my prayers but mercifully hear and grant them.
Amen

Other evil spirits who roam throughout the world seeking the
ruin of souls. Amen.

Prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
St Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus,
In union with the Masses said throughout the world today,
For all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
For sinners everywhere,
For sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home, and within my family, Amen.
The Confiteor
I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do;
and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
Because He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden;
for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed;
Because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
and Holy is His Name;
And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown might with His arm,
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and has exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has given help to Israel, in remembrance of His mercy
Even as He spoke to our fathers -
to Abraham and to His seed forever.
Amen.

Amen.
Chaplet of Divine Infancy
This chaplet of the Divine Infant Jesus consists of fifteen beads. The first three beads are in honour of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. On these beads an Our Father is recited, preceded each time by the words “And the Word was made flesh”.
The other beads honour the twelve years of Our Lord's Holy Childhood. The Hail Mary is recited twelve times; before the first of Hail Mary, one prays, “And the Word was made Flesh and dwelt amongst us.”
On the medal one prays, “Divine Infant Jesus, I adore Thy Cross, and I accept all the crosses Thou wilt be pleased to send me. Adorable Trinity, I offer Thee for the glory of the Holy Name of God all the adorations of the Sacred Heart of the Holy Infant Jesus.”
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Using your Rosary beads pray
Opening prayer:
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
Then say one Our Father, One Hail Mary and One Apostles Creed
On the large ‘Our Father’ beads of the Rosary pray:
Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.
On the smaller ‘Hail Mary’ beads of the Rosary pray:
V:For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
R: have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with (Say 3 Times):
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Optional:
“O Blood and water which gushed forth form the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust In you x3”
“Jesus I trust in you x3”
Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion -- inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Petition for the proper exercise before Communion
When I consider thy greatness O Lord and my own vileness I tremble very much and confounded. For if I come not to thee I fly from life. And if I intrude myself unworthily I incur thy displeasure. What then shall I do O my God, my helper, my counselor in necessities? Do thou teach me the right way, purpose some short exercise suitable for the Holy Communion. For it is necessary to know in what manner I should reverently and devoutly prepare my heart for thee for the profitable receiving of thy Sacrament or for celebrating so great and divine a sacrifice.
Amen |
