THE 15 MOST POWERFUL PRAYERS
-

(I)
The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13
-

(II)
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work too may be holy
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
that I love but what is holy
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy
Guide me then, O Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy.
Amen
Mother Teresa
-

(III)
The Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth
over. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life: and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23
-

(IV)
Prayer of Saint Benedict

O gracious and holy Father,
Give us wisdom to perceive you,
intelligence to understand you,
diligence to seek you,
patience to wait for you,
eyes to see you,
a heart to meditate on you,
and a life to proclaim you,
through the power of the spirit
of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Saint Benedict
-

(V)
Morning Prayer

Thank you for keeping me safe through
the night, please watch over me during
the day, and keep me safe from harm.
Give me strength, O Lord,
so that I may make the right choices,
be kind and good to others.
Please keep my family and friends safe,
throughout the day and into the night,
and please let me always know you are
always with me,
guiding me and loving me.
In Jesus Christ's name, I pray
Amen.
-

(VI)
Prayer of Saint Patrick

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit,
Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who
thinks of me, Christ in the mouth
of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Saint Patrick
-

(VII)
The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Reinhold Niebuhr
-

(VIII)
Prayers of The Early Church

Bless all who worship thee,
from the rising of the sun,
unto the going down of the same.
Of thy goodness, give us;
with thy love, inspire us;
by thy spirit, guide us;
by thy power, protect us;
in thy mercy, receive us,
now and always.
5th-century prayer
-

(IX)
Saint francis' Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so
much seek to be consoled, as to console,
not so much to be understood, as to
understand, not so much to be loved, as
to love; for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi
-

(X)
Prayer of Trust

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills.
From whence cometh my help?
My help cometh from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall
neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy
shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall
preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalm 121:1-8
-
11)
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, heal me.
Blood of Christ, drench me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
Good Jesus, hear me.
In your wounds shelter me.
From turning away keep me.
From the evil one protect me.
At the hour of my death call me.
Into your presence lead me,
to praise you with all your saints
forever and ever. Amen.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
-

(XII)
Traditional Irish Blessing

May there always be work
for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold
a coin or two.
May the sun always shine
upon your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain
to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend
always be near to you, and
may God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.
Irish Prayer
-

(XII)
Prayer of Blessing 
May the strength of God pilot me,
the power of God preserve me today.
May the wisdom of God instruct me,
the eye of God watch over me,
the ear of God hear me,
the word of God give me sweet talk,
the hand of God defend me,
and the way of God guide me.
Saint Patrick
-

(XIV)
Prayer for All Times

I do not ask to walk smooth paths
Nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength and fortitude
To climb the rock-strewn road.

Give me such courage I can scale
The hardest peaks alone,
And transform every stumbling block
Into a steppingstone.
Gail Brook Burkett
-

(XV)
Prayer To The Holy Spirit
O Holy Spirit,
descend plentifully
into my heart.
Enlighten the dark
corners of this
neglected dwelling
and scatter your
cheerful beams.
St. Augustine of Hippo

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL FOR PROTECTION

 



PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL FOR PROTECTION (IV)


Dear Saint Michael, the Archangel, protect us, both body and soul from the Evil One, his followers and anyone who would approach us with malicious intent. Protect us, our bodies, and our cars (vehicles) as we travel about in our daily activities. Protect us, our bodies, our home, our property, and possessions from all demonic retaliation.


Father, if there are unholy angels in, on, near, or around us, we nail and hold them fast, and silence them. We decommission, bind, and encapsulate them through the Power of the Shed Blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We bring them to Your presence immediately Lord to deal with as you see fit. May You fill any empty spaces and lonely places within us, with Your love and Your light. Thank you Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant N..., which Thou hast this day commanded to depart out of this world, that Thou wouldst not deliver it into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end, but wouldst command it to be received by the Holy Angels, and conducted to Paradise, its true country; that as in Thee it hath hoped and believed, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys.

Prayer of Petitions to Our Blessed Mother Mary


 Prayer of the Repentant 


O Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, The Immaculate Conception, We beg and beseech thee Our Mother, Our Queen, Our Intercessor, Listen to our Plea, to Our Prayers, Our Petitions.  


We as your children ask thee, look not on our unworthy sinfulness,  we hereby acknowledge our sins dear Mother and now ask mercy from God through thee.  


Thou who carried and gave birth to Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Son of God and who is God Himself, into the world, in fulfillment of the scriptures and in acceptance of God The Father’s Will, intercede for us to your Beloved Son Jesus Christ.  


Save us our dear Mother, we beseech thee. Bring us to Him, to Jesus Christ your Son.  Thou who art more Honorable than the Cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without corruption bearest God the Word and art the true Theotokos we magnify thee, Blessed Mary most highly favored by God.  Thou who art of the purest heart and of the sincerest and lowly, humble obedience to God’s will, of which could not be done at all by the evil fallen ones because of their pride and arrogance.  It is your humility which became the powerful force to defeat the proud to have brought them their fall and shame.  


We Honor Thee Our dear Mother for thou art most gracious.  You who are most closest to Our Lord God Jesus Christ blessed amongst all  women and of all humanity.  


Pray for us, we who are sinners O dear Mother, mediate and intercede for us to your Son, Our Brother, Our Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ from this time and most specially at the hour of our last breath on earth. For It is also at that time when we most need you and ask the protection of St. Michael the Archangel, The Holy Hosts of Heaven together with our guardian angel.


I ask this for the repentance and conversion of all sinners in the whole world specially in my family; the return of justice, dignity, humility and truth in society and the end of violence and war. We ask and entrust these unto thee our Mother Mary.


O Blessed Mary Queen of Heaven, Please make our hearts humble and obedient to God’s Will like innocent little children, O Mary our Loving Holy Mother, so that through this we may be able to imitate thy holiness and be like to thee and to Thy Son Jesus Christ to be ever worthy to receive eternally the graces from Our Almighty Lord God Most High.  May God be forever glorified.


Amen

PRAYER TO FIND A LIFE PARTNER



Prayer To Find a Life Partner


“St. Raphael, loving patron of those seeking a marriage partner, help me in this supreme decision of my life. Find for me as a helpmate in life the person whose character may reflect some of the traits of Jesus and Mary. May he (she) be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with chaste and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please God to entrust to our care.

St. Raphael, angel of chaste courtship, bless our friendship and our love that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely that our future home may ever be most like the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Offer your prayers to God for the both of us and obtain the blessing of God upon our marriage, as you were the herald of blessing for the marriage of Tobiah and Sarah.

St. Raphael, friend of the young, be my friend, for I shall always be yours. I desire ever to invoke you in my needs

To your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future husband (wife). Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God’s Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joy in the next”. Amen.

In honor of St. Raphael pray an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
