Parents' Prayer for Their Children
O God the Father of mankind, who hast given unto me these my children, and committed them to my charge to bring them up for Thee, and to prepare them for eternal life: help me with Thy heavenly grace, that I may be able to fulfil this most sacred
duty and stewardship. Teach me both what to give and what to withhold; when to reprove and when to forbear; make me to be gentle, yet firm; considerate and watchful; and deliver me equally from the weakness of indulgence, and the excess of
severity; and grant that, both by word and example, I may be careful to lead them in the ways of wisdom and true piety, so
that at last I may, with them, be admitted to the unspeakable joys of our true home in heaven, in the company of the blessed
Angels and Saints. Amen.
O Heavenly Father, I commend my children to Thy care. Be Thou their God and Father; and mercifully supply whatever is lacking in me through frailty or negligence. Strengthen them to overcome the corruptions of the world, whether from within or without; and deliver them from the secret snares of the enemy. Pour Thy grace into their hearts, and strengthen and multiply in them the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit, that they may daily grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; and so, faithfully serving Thee here, may come to rejoice in Thy presence hereafter. Amen.
Prayer of Spouses for Each Other
Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be
filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths. Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.
Good Morning God
You are ushering in another day
untouched and freshly new
so here I come to ask you God
if you'll renew me too?
Forgive the many errors that
I made yesterday, and let me try
again dear God.
to walk closer in thy way
But Father, I am well aware
I can't make it on my own.
So take my hand and hold it tight
for I can't walk alone.
A Morning Offering
My God, I offer You today...
My life and all its care....
Keep me from sin til evening comes...
Help me my cross to bear...
My day is long, my work is hard...
My life seems all awry...
I have no time to think or pray...
And the years pass swiftly by...
O God, accept my work today...
I do it all for You...
'Tis badly done-complainingly....
But the best that I can do...
And you are kind and gentle, Lord...
And the faults You will not see...
Such as it is my life anew...
I dedicate to Thee.
---Rev. Thomas Foy
For the Sick
Omnipotent and eternal God, the everlasting Salvation of those who believe, hear us on behalf of Thy sick servant, N., for
whom we beg the aid of Thy pitying mercy, that, with his bodily health restored, he may give thanks to Thee in Thy church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and
deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
The Lord's Prayer
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.
Amen.
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace
the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women
and blessed if the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death
Amen.
