O Jesus, through the
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer thee my prayers, works,
joys and sufferings of this day
in union with the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world.
I offer them for all the
intentions of thy Sacred Heart;
the salvation of souls,
reparation for sin,
the reunion of all Christians.
I offer them for the intentions of
our Bishops and of all
Apostles of Prayer, and in particular
for those recommended by the
Holy Father this month.
THE ANGELUS
The angel of the
Lord declared unto Mary And she
conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary…
Behold the handmaid
of the Lord Be it done
to me according to thy word.
Hail Mary…
And the Word was
made flesh.
And dwelt among
us.
Hail Mary…
Pray for us, O
holy Mother of God. That we
may be made worthy of the
promises of
Christ.
Let us pray.
Pour forth, we beseech thee,
O Lord, thy
grace into our hearts, that we,
to whom the
Incarnation of Christ thy Son
was made known
by the message of an angel, may
by his Passion
and Cross be brought to the
glory of his
Resurrection. Through the
same Christ
Our Lord. Amen.
GRACE BEFORE MEALS
Bless us, O Lord,
and these your
gifts
which we are
about to receive
from your bounty,
through Christ
our Lord. Amen
GRACE AFTER MEALS
We give you thanks,
almighty God,
for these and
all your gifts
which we have
received
through Christ
our Lord. Amen
ACT OF FAITH
O my God, I firmly
believe that
thou art one
God in
three Divine
Persons,
Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
I believe that
thy Divine Son
became man and
died for our sins,
and that he
will come to judge
the living and
the dead.
I believe these
and all the truths
that the Holy
Catholic Church teaches,
because thou
hast revealed them,
who can neither
deceive nor
be deceived.
ETERNAL REST
Eternal Rest grant
unto them, O Lord
and let perpetual
light shine upon them.
May their soul
and the souls of the
faithful departed through
the mercy
of God rest
in peace. Amen
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.
