Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.

My Rosary is a silver chain that binds my soul to God.
My Rosary is a mystic wine that grows in Heaven’s sod.
The Aves from a rose bouquet of white and red and gold
That strew along Our Lady’s way as each blest bead is told.
The mysteries are lessons learned of life’s true gain and loss,
and always at the Chaplet’s end, I find and kiss the Cross.

Our Lady of the Rosary – Pray for Us

Come Holy Spirit; fill our hearts with Your Holy gifts. Let our weaknesses be penetrated with Your strength this very day that We may fulfill all the duties of our state conscientiously, that we may do what is right and just.   Let our charity be such as to offend no one, and hurt no one’s feelings, so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong to us.   Assist us, O Holy Spirit, in all our trials of life, enlighten us in our ignorance, advise us in our doubts, strengthen us in our weaknesses, help us in all our needs, protect us in temptations and console us in afflictions.   Graciously hear us, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into our hearts, our souls, and our minds. Assist us to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen

Lord, You told us that You came ”that we might have life unto the fullest.” And Your people received You not. We have rejected Your gifts, even the coming of the Messiah. And so our world is steeped in misery and sin. Who could conceive of such a story?

Still, there is great hope, Lord. Love and mercy have not passed away. Your people struggle, but we do so in trust, and our pain is tempered by our faith in You. You are a bigger Saviour than we are sinners, and in Your compassion and forgiveness are the tenets of our trust. We come again for healing, Lord. We always will. You also told us that You would not leave us orphans and that Your mercy will endure forever. So, we come to You to heal hearts, bodies and souls. The world cannot provide it, Lord, only parts and pieces. Only in You is our salvation.

Lord, as our Saviour and Redeemer, You alone are the source of all healing. To You we come in our need knowing that from Your most Sacred Heart flow the rays of Divine Mercy; from You come the graces to mend broken hearts, souls, and bodies. Lord, I pray for healing for those in need.

I pray for the healing of all lost souls, for those who do not know You or that do not believe. I pray for those who know not mercy and forgiveness and are controlled by anger, hatred and greed. I pray for those whose only god is the world and as a result cannot find peace and satisfaction.

I pray for those who are emotionally ill, who live with broken hearts and shattered lives. Those who have been victims of abuse, anger and indifference. Lord I ask You to provide forgiveness where resentment reigns. Replace depression with the peace and joy that only You can instill. Remove all painful memories and anything that blocks their capacity to love. Cure their souls of any and all burdens they carry, from childhood, from family members, from spouses, all past hurts and rejections. Replace despair with hope.

Jesus, I pray for all those who have  been deceived by Satan and by the world. All those who have chased after false gods; those who have made their own consciences their god, who reject the concept of sin and the reality of eternity.

Jesus, I pray for all those addicted in any way, whose life is controlled by outside substances such as alcohol, drugs, chemicals, nicotine, pornography, and greed; those who are enslaved by power, materialism, sex, or money.

Jesus, I pray for all those who suffer persecution because of their race, nationality, gender, social status, religious belief or age. Free them from such injustices and enable them to live in Your peace, love and trust. I pray especially for the unborn, they who suffer the worst form of persecution. End this tragedy and protect the lives of these souls You have created. Grant to the world the grace and awareness to see the self-destruction, the suffering, the death, the pain that persecution brings.

Jesus, I pray for Your Church. Send again the Paraclete, bringing a new Pentecost to renew and strength commitments and vocations. Remove false teachings and compromises to Your commandments, Your sacraments, Your doctrines. Grant us the grace to have great love for Your Church, and for its Magisterium.

Jesus, I especially pray for the sick and suffering. There are so many. I pray that You will touch in a special way all those in pain, those combating illness of any kind, those without hope, without relief, those who are dying. Provide additional blessings for those who are handicapped, those confined to nursing homes and hospitals, those who are without care.

Jesus, I lift up to You all those who are terminally ill. Turn not your face from those who are ravaged by cancer and AIDS. Look with compassion on those who bring their needs to You. Bring physical and emotional healing to all those whose injuries are caused by others, especially family members, and heal those who have caused such pains.

Jesus, I pray for healing. All of these many needs I lay at the foot of Your cross. If it be Your will, answer their needs. If it be Your will that their suffering is of special merit to You, then heal their hearts and their souls and give them courage to persevere in Your love.

Jesus, I especially pray for (name) . I place this request in the hands of Your Mother and ask that she, along with her cohort of angels and saints, bring this need to You, Her Son, and our Redeemer. Heal Lord Jesus.

Jesus, I ask that all healing be attributed to You, for Your honour and glory, and that it be a means of conversion for many souls, a light to those in doubt, a hope to those in despair, and a sign to all of the world that You alone are Lord, and that before Your name, Jesus, every knee must bend.

O my Lord Jesus Christ, who for the love You bear mankind, remain night and day in this Sacrament, all full of tenderness and love, expecting and receiving all those who come to visit You: I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the altar; I adore You from the depths of my own nothingness and thank You for all the favors You have bestowed upon me; and especially for having given me Yourself in this Sacrament, and Your holy Mother Mary as my Advocate; and for having called me to visit You in this church. I pay homage this day to Your most loving Heart and this I intend to do for three intentions: first, in thanksgiving for this great gift; secondly, in reparation for all the insults You have received from Your enemies in this Sacrament; thirdly, by this visit I intend to adore You in all places upon the earth, where You are least adored and most neglected in Your Sacrament. My Jesus, I love You with my whole heart. I repent of having in the past so many times displeased Your infinite goodness. I intend, with the help of Your grace never more to offend You in the future; and at the present, wretched as I am, I consecrate myself wholly to You. I give You, and utterly renounce, my entire will, all my affections, all my desires, and all that I possess. From this day forth, do with me and with all that is mine whatever is pleasing in Your sight. I ask and desire only Your holy love, final perseverance and the perfect fulfillment of Your will. I commend to You the souls in purgatory, especially those who were most devoted to this Blessed Sacrament and to the
Blessed Virgin Mary. I commend to You in like manner all poor sinners.

Finally, my dear Savior, I unite all my affections with those of Your most loving Heart, and thus united I offer them to Your Eternal Father, and I pray to Him in Your name graciously to accept and answer them for love of You.

O Holy Spirit of God, take me as Thy Disciple.
Guide me, illuminate me, sanctify me.
Bind my hands that they may do no evil.
Cover my eyes that they may see it no more.
Sanctify my heart that evil may not dwell within me.
Be Thou my God. Be Thou my Guide
Withersoever Thou leadest me I will go.
Whatsoever Thou forbiddest me I will renounce.
And whatsoever Thou commandest me,
In Thy strength I will do.
Lead me then unto the fullness of Thy truth.
Amen

O most pure heart of Mary, full of goodness, show your love towards us. Let the flame of your heart, O Mary, descend on all people. We love you immensely.  Impress on our hearts true love so that we may long for you. O Mary, gentle and humble of heart, remember us when we sin. You know that all people sin. Grant that through your most pure and motherly heart, we may be healed from every spiritual sickness. Grant that we may always experience the goodness of your motherly heart, and that through the flame of your heart we may be converted.

Amen

Dear Jesus, help us to spread Your fragrance everywhere we go.
Flood our souls with Your Spirit and Life.
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly
   that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through us and be so in us
   that every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our souls.
Let them look up, and see no longer us, but only Jesus!
Stay with us and then we shall begin to shine as You shine,
   so to shine as to be a light to others.
The light, O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be ours.
It will be You, shining on others through us.
Let us thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around us.
Let us preach You without preaching, not by words but by example,
   by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what we do,
   the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear for You. Amen.

(CARDINAL JOHN HENRY NEWMAN)

Saint Michael, the Archangel defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

My Lord we humble pray for your help, when we have doubts, are lonely, are tempted, are disappointed, and when our hearts are filled with sorrows and troubles we turn to You Our Lord. You are the only one who knows the secrets of our hearts. O Jesus let us be the one you want us to be.   Amen

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever. Amen

To whom God’s love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.

body, my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins, the sins I know,
the sins I do not know, the sins I have concealed so long, and
which are now hidden from my memory. I am truly sorry for every
sin, mortal and venial. For all the sins of my childhood up to the
present hour. I know my sins have wounded thy tender heart.
O my Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through the
most bitter passion of my Redeemer. Amen.
Oh my Jesus forgive and forget 
What I had been Amen.
