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 God, the Father Almighty; from there 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.

Prayer of the Sacred Heart Family

Heavenly Father, we gather before You with grateful hearts, thankful for Your boundless love and for the countless blessings You bestow upon us each day. Though we are unworthy, we place our trust in Your mercy and grace.

In humility, we ask forgiveness for our sins, both known and unknown. Cleanse our hearts and draw us ever closer to You.

Lord Jesus, we entrust our salvation to Your Sacred Heart. Guide us as we strive to walk in holiness and remain faithful to Your Word.

With love and compassion, we remember the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Grant them Your mercy and bring them quickly into the joy of Your eternal presence.

We pray for sinners throughout the world, especially those in their final hours. May they turn to You and accept the gift of salvation.

We lift up our families and loved ones, entrusting them to Your care. May Your grace lead them to the fullness of truth in You.

We commend to Your healing touch the sick, the hospitalized, and the homebound. Bless the elderly and those who are alone and have no one to pray for them, that they may feel Your comforting presence.

We pray for expectant mothers and their unborn children, especially those facing difficult circumstances. Have mercy on all the pre-born Innocents that will be lost today.

Lord, we pray for our Holy Father, Pope Leo. Strengthen him in mind, body, and spirit, that he may shepherd Your Church with wisdom, courage, and fidelity. Bless all clergy and religious, and increase their numbers. Bless also the lay faithful, that together we may work as one body in Christ.

We entrust to You the leaders of all nations. Guide them by Your Spirit to govern with justice, integrity, and compassion, promoting peace and the dignity of every human life.

Finally, Heavenly Father, we pray for unity among all Christians. Bring us together as one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, under one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and under the one true God, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.

Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity

Act of Faith: O my God, I firmly believe that You are One God in Three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that Your 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 which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope: O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Charity: O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You; I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Resolution to Avoid Evil and Do Good

Adorable Jesus, Divine pattern of that perfection to which we should all aspire, I will endeavor this day to follow Your example; to be mild, humble, chaste, zealous, patient, charitable and resigned.

Incline my heart to keep Your commandments. I am resolved to watch over myself with the greatest diligence and to live soberly, justly, and piously for the time to come. I will take care of my words that I may not offend with my tongue; I will turn away my eyes that they may not see vanity; and I will be particularly attentive not to relapse this day into my accustomed failings, but to struggle against them with Your gracious assistance.

Enlighten my mind, purify my heart, and guide my steps; that I may pass all my life in Your Divine service. Amen.

Jam Lucis Orto Sideri

Now that the star of light has risen, let us to God most humbly pray, to save us from all hurtful things, in all our actions of the day.
To bridle and restrain our tongue, that wordy war may not resound, to cover and protect our sight, from dangerous follies all around.
To drive iniquity away, and purify our inmost soul, and by spare use of meat and drink, our rebel passions to control.
That when the day has sped away, and He again the night shall bring, we may through holy abstinence, with purity, His glory, sing.
All glory to the Father be, all praise Eternal Son to Thee, all honor as is ever meet, to God the Holy Paraclete.

Grant this, O Father, Only Son and Holy Spirit God of Grace, to Whom all glory, Three in One be given in every time and place. Amen.
