PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE NATIVITY OF MOTHER MARY

PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE NATIVITY OF MOTHER MARY 

Heavenly Father,

On this joyous day, we honor the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

Whom You chose to be the Mother of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

We thank You for the gift of her life, her faith, and her willingness

To say "yes" to Your divine plan of salvation.

Blessed Mother Mary, on your holy nativity,

We celebrate the dawn of our redemption,

For through you, the Savior of the world has come.

Your birth fills us with hope and joy,

As you brought forth the Light that dispels the darkness.

Mother of Mercy, intercede for us,

That we may grow in faith, hope, and love,

And be ever mindful of the needs of others.

Guide us in our journey toward your Son,

And protect us under the mantle of your care.

We entrust our lives to you, dear Mother,

And ask for your continual intercession,

So that we may follow your example of humility, purity, and trust in God’s will.

Amen.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

PRAYER TO SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX

✝️O GLORIOUS ST. THERESE, 

whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so powerful in obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother Church proclaims you 'Prodigy of Miracles... the Greatest Saint of Modern Times.' Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good on earth...of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith, to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life, and to love God with full confidence. St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister, I will fulfill your plea 'to be made known everywhere' and I will continue to lead others to Jesus through you.  Amen.

St. Therese of Lisieux, Pray for us.

ACT OF DENOUNCING EVIL

I reject the evil that has infiltrated my life because I have distanced myself from Jesus; I have abandoned the mysteries, I have neglected prayer, and I have been devoted solely to what is passing. I refuse the evil that I have accepted and which I have stupidly committed through

ignorance or thoughtlessness, through anger or unawareness, for fear of being considered different or of being criticized. I am aware of and reject whatever evil I have done and that I have caused all of society. In a special way, I reject the spiritually polluting actions of blasphemies, false promises and oaths, usury, the unjust delay of payments, injustices, favoritisms, séances, and all the occult practices. Christ, the Savior, save me by the power of Your Cross. Amen.

PRAYER FOR DEPRESSION RELIEF

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heavy heart, feeling weighed down by the burden of depression. You know the depths of my pain, my fears, and my struggles. I ask for Your comforting presence to surround me in this difficult time.

Please grant me the strength to face each day, even when it feels overwhelming. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and help me to trust in Your unfailing love. I ask for the courage to reach out for help and for the wisdom to find the right words to express what I am going through.

Lord, I ask that You bring healing to my mind, body, and spirit. Lift the darkness that clouds my thoughts and renew my hope. Help me to see the beauty in life again and to find joy in the little things. Surround me with people who care, and guide them in how to support me through this journey.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. I place my trust in You, knowing that You are my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. I ask for Your light to guide me out of this shadow and into the fullness of life that You have planned for me.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Oh, kindly Saint Raphael the Archangel, I invoke you as the patron of those who have been struck by disease or bodily infirmity.

You have prepared the remedy that healed Tobias’ blindness and his name means “The Lord Heals.”

I turn to you, begging your divine assistance in my present need:

(Make your intention)

If it be of God’s will, cure my illness, or at least grant me the grace and strength I need to endure it patiently, offering it for the forgiveness of my sins and for the salvation of my soul.

Teach me to unite my sufferings with those of Jesus and Mary and to seek the grace of God in prayer and communion.

I want to imitate you in your eagerness to do God’s will in all things.

Like young Tobias, I choose you as my companion on my journey through this valley of tears. I want to follow your inspirations every step of the way, so that I can reach the end of my journey under your constant protection and in the grace of God.

Archangel Saint Raphael, you revealed yourself as the divine assistant of the Throne of God, come into my life and help me in this moment of trial.

Grant me the grace and blessing of God and the favor I ask of you for your powerful intercession.

Great Physician of God heal me as thou didst with Tobias, if this be the will of the Creator.

Saint Raphael, Resource of God, Angel of Health, Medicine of God, pray for me.

Amen.

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO MARY By St. Maximilian Kolbe

 Official Act of Consecration to Mary

Written by St. Maximilian Kolbe

O IMMACULATA, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you. I, (name), a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you.

If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: “She will crush your head,” and, “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the world.” Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter, you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise you, O sacred Virgin.

R. Give me strength against your enemies.
