Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of Lourdes –

The Immaculate Conception

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Virgin Immaculate,

you appeared 18 times to Bernadette at the grotto in Lourdes

to remind Christians of what the truths in the Gospel require of them.

You call them to prayer, penance, the Eucharist, and the life of

the church.

To answer your call more fully,

I dedicate myself, through you, to your Son Jesus Christ.

Make me willing to accept what He said.

By the fervor of my faith,

by the conduct of my life in all its aspects,

by my devotion to the sick,

let me work with you in the comforting of those who suffer

and in the reconciliation of people

that the church may be one and there be peace in the world.

All this I ask, confident that you, Our Lady, willfully answer my prayer.

Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception of the

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. Amen.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

St. Bernadette, pray for us!

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

"Remember...They are The Ten Commandments

NOT The ten suggestions." ~ Fr. Corapi

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

I am the Lord thy God, thou shall not have any gods before me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything.

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor's house, wife, or property.

Prayer to Saint Joseph

O Saint Joseph, you are

the faithful protector and

intercessor of all who love

and venerate you.

I humbly commend myself,

with all who are dear to

me and all that belong

to me, to your intercession.

I beg of you, by your love

for Jesus and Mary, not to

abandon me during life and

to assist me at the hour

of my death. Amen.

Prayer to the Mother of God

O Mary, my Mother and my Lady, I offer you my soul, my body, my life and my death, and all that will follow it. I place everything in your hands. O my Mother, cover my soul with your virginal mantle and grant me the grace of purity of heart, soul and body. Defend me with your power against all enemies, and especially against those who hide their malice behind the mask of virtue (79). Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by God's power (315).

O Mary, a terrible sword has pierced your holy soul. Except for God, no one knows of your suffering. Your soul does not break; it is brave, because it is with Jesus. Sweet Mother, unite my soul to Jesus, because it is only then that I will be able to endure all trials and tribulations, and only in union with Jesus will my little sacrifices be pleasing to God. Sweetest Mother, continue to teach me about the interior life. May the sword of suffering never break me. O pure Virgin, pour courage into my heart and guard it (915).

Evening Prayer

 

Lord,

You bless us as we rest

Restore us as we sleep

You care for us as we drift off

And make our dreaming sweet.

You are the safest place

You are the God of Grace

Forgiven, loved and held by you

Is each small seed of faith.

You know our thoughts and feelings

You see our deep desires

You understand our weariness

And catch each tear we cry.

You walk beside us every day

You are a constant friend

You stay with us all through the night

On you we can depend.

PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN

 PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN

O Divine Eternal Father, in union with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the power of Your greatest enemy – the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of Your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully Yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen.

Prayer For Deliverance From Evil

 

PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL

Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!

From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations. Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption: the power of merciful Love! May it put a stop to evil! May it transform consciences! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. .

O glorious prince St. Michael, 

chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,

who turn to you with confidence

and enable us by your gracious protection

to serve God more and more faithfully every day.
