Act
of
Contrition
O
my
God,
I
am
heartily
sorry
for
having
offended
you,
and
I
detest
all
of
my
sins
because
of
your
just
punishments,
but
most
of
all
because
they
offend
you,
my
God,
who
are
all
good
and
deserving
of
my
love.
I
firmly
resolve
with
the
help
of
your
grace
to
sin
no
more
and
to
avoid
the
near
occasions
of
sin.
Amen.

O
my
God,
trusting
in

because
you
are
faithful,
powerful
and
merciful,
I
hope,
through
the
merits
of
Jesus
Christ,
for
the
pardon
of
my
sins,
final
perseverance
and
the
blessed
glory
of
heaven.

Act
of
Love
O
my
God,
I
love
you
above
all
things,
with
my
whole
heart
and
soul, because
you
are
all
good
and
worthy
of
all
love.
I
love
my
neighbor
as
myself
for
the
love
of
you.
I
forgive
all
who
have
injured
me,
and
ask
pardon
of
all
whom
I
have
injured.

Advent
Prayer
Father,
in
the
wilderness
of
the
Jordan
you
sent
a
messenger
to
prepare
people's
hearts
for
the
coming
of
your
Son.
Help
me
to
hear
his
words
and
repent
of
my
sins,
so
that
I
may
clearly
see
the
way
to
walk,
the
truth
to
speak,
and
the
life
to
live
for
Him,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Amen

Blessing of a Christmas Tree
After you have decorated your family tree, gather your family around the tree
for this blessing:
Lord our God,
we praise you for the light of creation:
the sun, the moon, and the stars of the night.
We praise you for the light of Israel:
the Law, the prophets, and the wisdom of the Scriptures.
We praise you for Jesus Christ, your Son:
he is Emmanuel, God-with-us, the Prince of Peace,
who fills us with the wonder of your love.
Lord God, let your blessing come upon us as we illumine this
tree.
May the light and cheer it gives be a sign of the joy that fills
our hearts.
May all who delight in this tree come to the knowledge and joy
of salvation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Eucharistic
Devotion
of
St.
Thomas
Aquinas
-
Prayer
before
Communion
Almighty
and
ever-living
God,
I
approach
the
sacrament
of
your
only-begotten
Son,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
I
come
sick
to
the
doctor
of
life,
unclean
to
the
fountain
of
mercy,
blind
to
the
radiance
of
eternal
light,
and
poor
and
needy
to
the
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth.
Lord,
in
your
great
generosity,
heal
my
sickness,
wash
away
my
defilement,
enlighten
my
blindness,
enrich
my
poverty,
and
clothe
my
nakedness.
May
I
receive
the
bread
of
angels,
the
King
of
kings
and
Lord
of
lords,
with
humble
reverence,
with
the
purity
and
faith,
the
repentance
and
love,
and
the
determined
purpose
that
will
help
to
bring
me
to
salvation.
May
I
receive
the
sacrament
of
the
Lord’s
Body
and
Blood,
and
its
reality
and
power.
Kind
God,
may
I
receive
the
Body
of
your
only-begotten
Son,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
born
from
the
womb
of
the
Virgin
Mary,
and
so
be
received
into
His
mystical
body
and
be
numbered
among
His
members.
Loving
Father,
as
on
my
earthy
pilgrimage
I
now
receive
your
beloved
Son
under
the
veil
of
a
sacrament,
may
I
one
day
see
him
face
to
face
in
glory,
Who
lives
and
reigns
with
you
forever
and
ever.
Amen

Eucharistic
Devotion
of
St.
Thomas
Aquinas
-
Prayer
after
Communion
Lord,
Father
all-powerful
and
ever-living
God,
I
thank
you,
for
even
though
I
am
a
sinner,
your
unprofitable
servant,
not
because
of
my
worth
but
in
the
kindness
of
your
mercy,
you
have
fed
me
with
the
precious
Body
and
Blood
of
your
Son,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
I
pray
that
this
Holy
Communion
may
not
bring
me
condemnation
and
punishment,
but
forgiveness
and
salvation.
May
it
be
a
helmet
of
faith
and
a
shield
of
goodwill.
May
it
purify
me
from
evil
ways
and
put
an
end
to
my
evil
passions.
May
it
bring
me
charity
and
patience,
humility
and
obedience,
and
growth
in
the
power
to
do
good.
May
it
be
my
strong
defense
against
all
my
enemies,
visible
and
invisible,
and
the
perfect
calming
of
all
my
evil
impulses,
bodily
and
spiritual.
May
it
unite
me
more
closely
to
you,
the
one
true
God,
and
lead
me
safely
through
death
to
everlasting
happiness
with
you.
And
I
pray
that
you
will
lead
me,
a
sinner,
to
the
banquet
where
you,
with
your
Son
and
Holy
Spirit,
are
true
and
perfect
light,
total
fulfillment,
everlasting
joy,
gladness
without
end,
and
perfect
happiness
to
your
saints.
Grant
this
through
Christ
our
Lord.
Amen

Exultet
It
is
truly
right
that
with
full
hearts
and
minds
and
voices
we
should
praise
the
unseen
God,
the
all-powerful
Father,
and
his
only
Son,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
For
Christ
has
ransomed
us
with
his
blood,
and
paid
for
us
the
price
of
Adam's
sin
to
our
eternal
Father!
This
is
our
passover
feast,
when
Christ,
the
true
Lamb,
is
slain,
whose
blood
consecrates
the
homes
of
all
believers.
The
night
when
first
you
saved
our
fathers:
you
freed
the
people
of
Israel
from
their
slavery
and
led
them
dry-shod
through
the
sea.
This
is
the
night
when
the
pillar
of
fire
destroyed
the
darkness
of
sin!
This
is
the
night
when
Christians
everywhere,
washed
clean
of
sin
and
freed
from
all
defilement,
are
restored
to
grace
and
grow
together
in
holiness.
This
is
the
night
when
Jesus
Christ
broke
the
chains
of
death
and
rose
triumphant
form
the
grave.
What
good
would
life
have
been
to
us,
had
Christ
not
come
as
our
Redeemer?
Father,
how
boundless
is
your
care
for
us!
How
boundless
your
merciful
love!
To
ransom
a
slave
you
gave
away
your
Son.
O
happy
fault,
O
necessary
sin
of
Adam,
which
gained
for
us
so
great
a
Redeemer!
Most
blessed
of
all
nights,
chosen
by
God
to
see
Christ
rising
from
the
dead!
Of
this
night
scripture
says:
"The
night
will
be
as
clear
as
day:
it
will
become
my
light,
my
joy."
The
power
of
this
holy
night
dispels
all
evil,
washes
guilt
away,
restores
lost
innocence,
brings
mourners
joy;
it
casts
out
hatred,
brings
us
peace,
and
humbles
earthly
pride.
Night
truly
blessed
when
heaven
is
wedded
to
earth
and
man
is
reconciled
with
God!
Therefore,
heavenly
Father,
in
the
joy
of
this
night,
receive
our
evening
sacrifice
of
praise,
your
Church's
solemn
offering.
Accept
this
Easter
candle,
a
flame
divided
but
undimmed,
a
pillar
of
fire
that
glows
to
the
honor
of
God.
Let
it
mingle
with
the
lights
of
heaven
and
continue
bravely
burning
to
dispel
the
darkness
of
this
night!
May
the
Morning
Star
which
never
sets
find
this
flame
still
burning:
Christ,
that
Morning
Star,
who
came
back
from
the
dead,
and
shed
his
peaceful
light
on
all
mankind,
your
Son
who
lives
and
reigns
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen

Nicene
Creed
We
believe
in
one
God,

Father,

of
all
that
is
seen
and
unseen.
We

of
God,
eternally

God
from
God,
Light
from
Light,
true
God
from
true
God,
begotten,
not
made,
one
in
Being
with
the

Through
Him
all
things
were
made.
For
us
men
and
our
salvation
He
came
down
from
heaven:
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Spirit
He
was
born
of
the

Mary,
and
became
man.
For
our
sake
He
was
crucified
under
Pontius
Pilate;
He
suffered,
died,
and
was
buried.
On
the
third
day
He
rose
again
in
fulfillment
of
the
Scriptures;
He
ascended
into
heaven,
and
is
seated
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father.
He
will
come
again
in
glory
to
judge
the
living
and
the

His
kingdom
will
have
no
end.
We
believe
in
the
Holy

the
Lord,
the
giver
of
life,
who
proceeds
from
the
Father
and
the
Son.
With
the
Father
and
the
Son
He
is
worshipped
and
glorified.
He
has
spoken
through
the
prophets.
We
believe
in
one
holy
catholic
and
apostolic
Church.
We
acknowledge
one
baptism
for
the
forgiveness
of
sins.
We
look
for
the
resurrection
of
the
dead,
and
the
life
of
the
world
to
come.

Prayer For Our National
Elections
O
God, we acknowledge you today as Lord, not only of individuals, but also
of nations and governments.
We thank you for your law, which our Founding
Fathers acknowledged and recognized as higher than any human law.
We
pray that your people may be awakened to know that they are not called to be a
sect fleeing the world,
but rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken your people to a commitment to justice; to the sanctity of marriage and
the family; to the dignity of each individual
human life; and to the truth that
human rights begin when human lives begin, and not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice
today that we are citizens of your kingdom. May that make us all the more
committed to being faithful citizens on earth.
We pray through
Christ our Lord.

in body, mind, and spirit
by those who betrayed the trust placed in them.
Hear our cries as we agonize
over the harm done to our brothers and sisters.
Breathe wisdom into our prayers.
Soothe restless hearts with hope.
Steady shaken spirits with faith.
Show us the way to justice and wholeness,
enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy.
Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts,
heal your peoples’ wounds and
transform our brokenness.
Grant us courage and wisdom,
humility and grace,
so that we may act with justice
and find peace in you.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Prayer to Holy Michael, the
Archangel
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend
us in battle.
Be our safeguard against the
wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you,
O Prince of the heavenly host, by the
power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil
spirits who wander through
the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph
Good St. Joseph,
spouse of Mary and patron
of all workers, pray for me.
I, too, am a worker and a spouse.
Pray for me that I may fulfill the demands of my work
and those of family life.
May I serve my employer diligently, earning his
confidence by honest effort. But may I be free from
the desire for vain praise and worldly prestige.
Teach me, too, St. Joseph, how to set aside my work
at the end of the day, and to give undivided attention
to my wife and children, that they might come to
know and love me with the love that Jesus and Mary
had for you.
O faithful spouse and worker,
pray that I may truly imitate you.
Amen.

Serenity
Prayer
God,
grant
me
serenity
to
accept
the
things
I
cannot
change,
the
courage
to
change
the
thing
I
can,
and
the
wisdom
to
know
the
difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.
Taking, as Jesus did, this
sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make
all things right if I surrender to Your will.
So that I may be reasonably
happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next

World Aids Day Prayer
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Oh good and gracious God, You are the God of health and
wholeness.
In the plan of Your creation,
You call us to struggle in our sickness
and to cling always to the cross of your Son.
Oh God, we are your servants.
Many of us are now suffering with HIV or AIDS. We come before
You, and ask You,
if it is your Holy will to take away this suffering from us,
restore us to health and lead us to know You
and Your Powerful healing love of body and spirit.
We ask you also, to be with those of us who nurse Your sick
ones.
We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children and friends
of your suffering people.
It is so hard for us to see those whom we love suffer.
Help us to minister in loving care, with support and patience
for Your people who suffer with HIV and AIDS.
Lead us to do whatever it will take to eradicate this illness
from the lives of those who are touched by it, both directly and indirectly.
Trusting in You and the strength of Your Spirit, we pray these
things in the name of Jesus. Amen.
