Lords 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.
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.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As
it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
Apostles’ 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father; 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 life everlasting. Amen.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our light, 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 towards us
and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. V. Pray for
us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that
anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy
intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we
turn to thee, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To thee we come,
before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and
answer us. Amen.
Prayer Before Meals
Bless us O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive,
from thy bounty, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you 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 your 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 the apostles of prayer, and
in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
Evening prayer
O my God, at the end of this day I thank you most heartily for all
the graces I have received from you. I am sorry that I have not made
a better use of them. I am sorry for all the sins I have committed
against you. Forgive me, O my God, and graciously protect me this
night. Blessed Virgin Mary, my dear heavenly mother, take me under
your protection. St. Joseph, my dear guardian angel, and all you
saints of God, pray for me. Sweet Jesus, have pity on all poor
sinners, and save them from hell. Have mercy on the suffering souls
in purgatory.
Generally, this evening prayer is followed by an act of
contrition, which is usually said in conjunction with an examination
of conscience. A daily examination of conscience consists of a brief
recounting of our actions during the day. What sins did we commit?
Where did we fail? In what areas of our lives can we strive to make
virtuous progress? Having determined our failures and sins, we make
an act of contrition.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee and I detest
all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of
hell, but most of all because they offend thee, my God, who are all
good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help
of thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my
life
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
St. 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, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

PENTECOST
SEQUENCE

Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine.
You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, we have naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away:
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sevenfold gift descend;
Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end.
Amen. Alleluia.
