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.

Finally, Heavenly Father, we pray for unity among all Christians.

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.

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus — by Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ; my person and my life, my actions, pains, and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.

This is my unchanging purpose, namely to be all His and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.

I take You, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my sure refuge at the hour of my death.

O Heart of goodness, be my justification before God your Father, and turn away from me the strokes of His just anger. O Heart of love, I put all my trust in You, for I fear everything from my own weakness. But I hope for all things from Your goodness.

Destroy in me all that can displease or resist You. May Your pure love imprint You so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or be separated from You.

May I obtain from Your boundless mercy, the grace of having my name written in You, for in You I desire to place all my happiness and all my glory, living and dying in very bondage to You. Amen.

O Saint Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Hold Him close in my name, and kiss His fine head from me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us.

Prayer to My Guardian Angel

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love entrusts me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. 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.

Come to Us, Holy Spirit

Come to us Holy Spirit come, One with the Father and the Son, Vouchsafe to dwell within our souls, and quickly make our hearts Thine own.
Let voice and mind and heart and strength, Confess and glorify Thy name, and let the fire of charity burn bright, and other hearts inflame.

O God, Who Canst Not

O God, Who canst not change nor fail, guiding the hours as they roll by, brightening with beam the morning pale, and burning in the midday sky.
Quench Thou the fires of hate and strife, the wasting fever of the heart, from perils guard our feeble life, and to our souls Thy peace impart.
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.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

Look down upon me, Good and Gentle Jesus, while before Your Face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul I pray and beseech You, to fix deep in my heart, lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment.

While with deep affection and grief of soul, I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Your five most Precious Wounds. Having before my eyes the words which David the prophet put on Your lips concerning You, O good Jesus: “They have pierced My Hands and My Feet, they have numbered all My Bones.”

Saint Michael the Archangel

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 evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
