Morning Prayer

Prayer to Start the Day Right 

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I will begin this day.

I thank you, Lord, for having preserved me during the night. I will do my best to make all I do today pleasing to You and in accordance with Your will. My dear mother Mary, watch over me this day. My Guardian Angel, take care of me. St. Joseph and all you saints of God, pray for me.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends. ~ Amen

Christmas Novena (December 16 - 24)

Mary, a young teenager, was living in the village of Nazareth and engaged to be married to Joseph, a Jewish carpenter. One day God sent the angel Gabriel to visit Mary. The angel told Mary that she would conceive a son by the power of the Holy Spirit. She would give birth to this child and name him Jesus.

Sick and hopeless? Say this powerful prayer for healing and grace

A PRAYER FOR HEALING AND GRACE:




Dear God, We confess our need for you today. We need your healing and your grace. We need hope restored. We need to be reminded that you work on behalf of those you love, constantly, powerfully, completely. Forgive us for trying to fix our situations all on our own. Forgive us for running all different directions and spinning our wheels to find help, when true help and healing must be found first in You. Forgive us for forgetting how much we need you, above everyone and everything else. We come to you and bring you the places we are hurting. You see where no one else is able to fully see or understand. You know the pain we've carried. The burdens. The cares. You know where we need to be set free.




We ask for your healing and grace to cover every broken place. Every wound. Every heartache. Thank you that you are Able to do far more than we could ever imagine. Thank you for your Mighty Power that acts on behalf of your children. We reach out to you, and know that you are restoring and redeeming every place of difficulty, every battle, for your greater glory. Thank you that you will never waste our pain and suffering. We love you. We need you today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, Our Lady of the MIRACULOUS MEDAL

Memorial of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal




PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY


Mary, today I renew in your hands the promise of my baptism. I renounce forever Satan, the enemy of our joy. I renounce his deceits, his seductions, and all his works. I give myself entirely to Jesus, the living sign of God’s love for us, in order to be more faithful to Him and in order to live fully as a child of God. I entrust myself to you, Immaculate Mary. I choose you as my Mother and Lady. To you as your child, I abandon and consecrate my life, my family, and the community in which I live. I ever entrust myself to your wishes, O Mary; preserve me from sin and defend me from the Evil One. On the last day, receive me in your arms and present me to Jesus as your child. Then, singing the eternal song of praise to God, together with you, O merciful Mother, my paradise will begin and my soul will exult with joy. Amen.
