Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.

 

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

 

Amen.

PRAYER TO THE LORD

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20130922_preghiera-lavoratori.html

 

 

Lord God look down upon us! Look at this city, this island.

 

Look upon our families.

Lord, you were not without a job, you were a carpenter, you were happy.

Lord, we have no work.

 

The idols want to rob us of our dignity.

 

The unjust systems want to rob us of hope.

 

Lord, do not leave us on our own.

 

Help us to help each other;

 

so that we forget our selfishness a little and feel in our heart the “we”, the we of a people who want to keep on going.

 

Lord Jesus, you were never out of work,

 

give us work and teach us to fight for work and bless us all.

 

In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.

PRAYER TO MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH AND

MOTHER OF OUR FAITH

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20130629_maria-lumen-fidei.html  

 

Mother, help our faith!

Open our ears to hear God’s word and to recognize his voice and call.

Awaken in us a desire to follow in his footsteps, to go forth from our own land and to receive his promise.

Help us to be touched by his love, that we may touch him in faith.

Help us to entrust ourselves fully to him and to believe in his love, especially at times of trial, beneath the shadow of the cross, when our faith is called to mature.

Sow in our faith the joy of the Risen One.

Remind us that those who believe are never alone.

Teach us to see all things with the eyes of Jesus, that he may be light for our path. And may this light of faith always increase in us, until the dawn of that undying day which is Christ himself, your Son, our Lord!

PRAYER FOR PEACE

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20140608_invocazione-pace.html 

 

Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!

 

We have tried so many times and over so many years to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms. How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced; how much blood has been shed; how many lives have been shattered; how many hopes have been buried… But our efforts have been in vain.

 

Now, Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, teach us peace; guide our steps in the way of peace. Open our eyes and our hearts, and give us the courage to say: “Never again war!”; “With war everything is lost”. Instil in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.

 

Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love, you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters. Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace; enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister. Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens who entreat us to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace, our trepidation into confident trust, and our quarreling into forgiveness.

 

Keep alive within us the flame of hope, so that with patience and perseverance we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation. In this way may peace triumph at last, and may the words “division”, “hatred” and “war” be banished from the heart of every man and woman. Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands. Renew our hearts and minds, so that the word which always brings us together will be “brother”, and our way of life will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!

 

Amen.

ACT OF ENTRUSTMENT TO MARY

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20131013_affidamento-vergine-fatima.html

 

Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima,

with renewed gratitude for your motherly presence

we join in the voice of all generations that call you blessed.

 

We celebrate in you the great works of God,

who never tires of lowering himself in mercy over humanity,

afflicted by evil and wounded by sin,

to heal and to save it.

 

Accept with the benevolence of a Mother

this act of entrustment that we make in faith today,

before this your image, beloved to us.

 

We are certain that each one of us is precious in your eyes

and that nothing in our hearts has estranged you.

 

May that we allow your sweet gaze

to reach us and the perpetual warmth of your smile.

 

Guard our life with your embrace:

bless and strengthen every desire for good;

give new life and nourishment to faith;

sustain and enlighten hope;

awaken and animate charity;

guide us all on the path to holiness.

 

Teach us your own special love for the little and the poor,

for the excluded and the suffering,

for sinners and the wounded of heart:

gather all people under you protection

and give us all to your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus.

 

Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

WATCH, O LORD

St. Augustine

http://gayandcatholic.net/prayers/

 

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or

watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels

and saints charge over those who sleep.

tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ.

Rest your weary ones,

Bless your dying ones,

Soothe Your suffering ones,

Pity Your afflicted ones,

Shield Your joyous ones,

and all for Your love’s sake. Amen.

POPE FRANCIS

 

 

 

PRAYER TO MARY, WOMAN OF LISTENING

http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20130531_maria-donna-dell-ascolto.html

 

Mary, woman of listening, open our ears; grant us to know how to listen to the word of your Son Jesus among the thousands of words of this world; grant that we may listen to the reality in which we live, to every person we encounter, especially those who are poor, in need, in hardship.

 

Mary, woman of decision, illuminate our mind and our heart, so that we may obey, unhesitating, the word of your Son Jesus; give us the courage to decide, not to let ourselves be dragged along, letting others direct our life.

 

Mary, woman of action, obtain that our hands and feet move “with haste” toward others, to bring them the charity and love of your Son Jesus, to bring the light of the Gospel to the world, as you did.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

HAIL MARY

 

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

 

Blessed art 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.
