Prayers to God


	GLORIA Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, now, and ever shall be, world without end.Amen. OUR FATHER Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. THE APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen. THE FATIMA PRAYER O, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, Save us from the fires of Hell, And lead all souls to Heaven, Especially those most in need of your mercy. Amen. ANIMA CHRISTI Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds hide me. Suffer me not to be separated from you. From the malignant enemy defend me. In the hour of my death call me. And bid me to come to you. That with your Saints I may praise you Forever and ever. Amen. AGNUS DEI Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. TANTUM ERGO Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail, Lo! oe'r ancient forms departing Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail. To the everlasting Father, And the Son Who reigns on high With the Holy Spirit proceeding Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen. Thou hast given them bread from heaven. Having within it all sweetness. Let us pray: O GOD, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Thy Passion: grant, we implore Thee, that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Thy Redemption. Thou who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen. THE DIVINE PRAISES Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His Most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her Glorious Assumption. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. HOLY SPIRIT By St. Augustine Breathe in me O Holy Spirit That my thoughts May all be holy. Act in my 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. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always May be holy." Another Beautiful Prayer that I pray often: " O, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul,... I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do... give me Your orders. I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that You permit to happen to me. Let me only know Your will. Amen. HOLY SPIRIT Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love. V. Send forth thy Spirit and They shall be created. R. And Thou Shalt renew the face of the earth. Let us Pray O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, didst instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. MAGNIFICAT My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. REGINA COELI O, queen of heaven, rejoice! Alleluia.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. MEMORARE Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known That any one who fled to your protection, implored your help Or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, But in your clemency hear and answer me. Amen.
