Ancient Prayer to Saint Joseph
Whoever reads this prayer or hears it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor will poison take effect on them. They will not fall into the hands of the enemy nor be burned in any fire, nor will they be defeated in battle.”
PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY FOR BLESSINGS
DEAR LORD, bless our family. Be so kind as to give us the Unity, Peace, and mutual Love that You found in Your own Family in the little town of Nazareth. SAINT JOSEPH, bless the head of our family. Obtain for him the strength, the wisdom, and the prudence he needs to support and direct those under his care. BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, bless the mother of our family. Help her to be pure and kind, gentle and self-sacrificing. For the more she resembles you, the better will our family be. LORD JESUS CHRIST, bless the children of our family. Help them to be obedient and devoted to their parents. Make them more and more like You. Let them grow, as You did, in wisdom and age and grace before God and man. HOLY FAMILY OF NAZARETH, make our family and home more and more like Yours, until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with You. AMEN.

Prayer for my children to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
O Our Lady of Perpetual Help, loving mother and refuge of all who seek your intercession, I come before you with a heart full of love and concern for my children. You are the epitome of grace and compassion, and I humbly ask for your maternal protection and guidance over my beloved children.
Blessed Virgin Mary, you witnessed the challenges and joys of motherhood with your own divine Son, Jesus Christ.

Through your powerful intercession, I implore you, dear Mother, to watch over my children in every aspect of their lives. Shield them from harm and danger, both physical and spiritual.

Please grant them wisdom in their decisions, discernment in their choices, and strength in times of temptation. Protect them from negative influences and surround them with good friends who will support and encourage them on their journey.
Most merciful Mother, I also ask you to intercede for my children's health and well-being. If they are facing any physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges, please bring them healing, comfort, and peace.

Lastly, dear Lady, I ask for your intercession in their future endeavors. Guide them in their studies, careers, and relationships.

Prayer to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ
Prayer to Saint Jude
Saint Jude is often shown carrying an image of Jesus. Tradition tells us that this recalls a miracle when a king, afflicted with leprosy, was cured of this horrible disease after Saint Jude gave him a cloth that had been pressed to the face of Christ.
Over the ages many people in desperate need have turned to Saint Jude in prayer. Saint Bridget of Sweden said she was directed in a vision to pray with deep faith and confidence to Saint Jude. She stated that Christ told her, “In accordance with his surname, Thaddeus, the amiable or loving, Saint Jude will show himself most willing to help.”
In the Americas, it was the Dominican Friars who helped spread devotion to Saint Jude, particularly in the United States. In 1903, Father Thomas Lorente, O.P., and members of the Spanish Dominican Province came to New Orleans and were asked to take care of the oldest church building in New Orleans, the Mortuary Chapel, now called Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. By 1935, Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel began a public novena to Saint Jude.
Today, Saint Jude continues to be one of the most popular and beloved Saints, a trusted heavenly intercessor for all those seeking God’s assistance during times of family crisis, sickness, and trouble, especially when all hope seems lost.

Hail Mary
Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.
Hail Mary, also known as the Ave Maria, is a well-known and cherished prayer in the Christian tradition. It is a reverent invocation to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, and holds a special place in the hearts of millions of believers worldwide.
The Hail Mary begins with the words "Hail Mary, full of grace," acknowledging Mary's divine favor and her unique role in God's plan for salvation. It continues with the phrase "the Lord is with thee," recognizing her close relationship with God and her chosen status as the mother of Jesus, who is often referred to as the Lord.
The prayer then reaches out to Mary, stating, "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." This acknowledges Mary's exceptional blessedness and the significance of Jesus, her divine son, who is revered as the Savior of humanity.
Finally, the Hail Mary concludes with a humble plea for Mary's intercession: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death." In this part, the faithful implore Mary to pray for them, seeking her guidance, protection, and assistance in their spiritual journey and in their ultimate encounter with death.
The Hail Mary is a profound expression of devotion to Mary and a reminder of her important role in the Christian faith. It serves as a source of comfort, inspiration, and a means of seeking her intercession in times of need.
