    Morning Prayers

    (Said upon rising from sleep)

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, (+) and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    The Lord's Prayer

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed by 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 Hail Mary

    Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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.

    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, 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 Morning Offering

    Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, one God in three Persons, I firmly believe that You are here present; I adore You with the most profound humility; I praise You and give You thanks with all my heart for the favors You have bestowed on me. Your Goodness has brought me safely to the beginning of this day. Behold, O Lord, I offer You my whole being and in particular all my thoughts, words and actions, together with such crosses and contradictions as I may meet with in the course of this day. Give them, O Lord, Your blessing; may Your divine Love animate them and may they tend to the greater honor and glory of Your Sovereign Majesty. Amen.

    Prayer to the Holy Spirit

    Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fires of Your love.

    v. Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created.

    r. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

    O God, Who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

    Prayer to All the Saints

    May Holy Mary and all the Saints intercede for us with the Lord, that we may worthily be succored and preserved by Him. Who lives and reigns, world without end. Amen. O Lord God, King of heaven and earth, vouchsafe this day to direct and sanctify, to rule and govern our hearts and bodies, our thoughts, words and deeds, according to Your law and in the works of Your commandments; that here and forever, O Savior of the world, we may be protected and saved, through Your mighty help. Who live and reign, world without end. Amen.

    Evening Prayers

    (Said before retiring)

    O Almighty and Eternal God! Prostrate before Your Divine Majesty, I adore You with all possible reverence. I believe and hold for certain all You have revealed to Your holy church. I hope in Your infinite goodness and mercy, and I love You with all my heart.

    O Great and almighty God! I kneel before You to thank You with my whole heart for all the favors which You have bestowed upon me this day; for my food and drink, my health and all my powers of body and soul. I thank You for all Your holy lights and inspirations, for Your care and protection, and for all those other mercies which I do not now recall, or which I do not know how to value as I ought. I thank You for them all, O heavenly Father. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord.

    The Act of Contrition

    O My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

    Prayer for the Dead

    O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Your servants departed full remission of all their sins, that through our devout prayers, they may obtain the pardon, which they have always desired. Who live and reign, world without end. Amen.

    v. Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord.

    r. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

    v. May they rest in peace.

    r. Amen.

    The Memorare

    Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to 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 mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

    Prayers for Children

    Angel of God, my guardian dear,
    To whom God's love commits me here
    Ever this day be at my side
    To light and guard, to rule and guide.

    Now I lay me down to sleep,
    I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
    If I should die before I wake,
    I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take.
    If I should live to future days,
    I pray Thee, Lord, to guide my ways.
