PRAYER TO MARY 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 . Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by God's power.

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. Amen.

A Beautiful Christmas Prayer

 A Christmas Prayer

By Robert Louis Stevenson

Loving Father,

Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Your children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven for Jesus' sake. Amen. 

Prayer for Help to be Debt Free

PRAYER FOR CLEARING DEBTS 

God, you have called us to be lenders and not borrowers (Deuteronomy 28:12) and your word requires that we have no outstanding debt but the continual debt of love (Romans 13:8).

Lord, I want to honor your word by becoming debt-free.

As I put action behind my faith (James 2:17), I ask for the supernatural acceleration of debt payoff. As I do the natural, God you do the supernatural (1 Corinthians 15:46).

Lord, this is a burden in my life, but you said that we can cast our burdens on you (Psalm 55:22). I am giving you this burden.

Free me from the bondage of debt so that I am no longer a slave to my lenders (Proverbs 22:7).

Open up opportunities for me to increase my income to pay off debt.

Give me wisdom on where to reduce my expenses and how to be responsible with my money. In Jesus’ name, amen.
