PRAYER FOR 2011
Almighty and eternal
God, Creator of heaven and earth, great is your name
and awesome is your power. By your right hand you smite
the foe, and uphold the life of your people. Father,
keep us always under the mantle of your protection and
care.
Jesus our mighty Savior,
you have crushed the head of the serpent, and have overturned
the dominion of the enemy over our lives. Continue to
show us the way to true discipleship and holiness of
life, so that we may be fitting instruments of your
will.
Spirit of life, you
renew the face of the earth, and empower your people
to become witnesses to the ends of the earth. Guide
our path always, helping us endure and persevere, as
we bring the good news of salvation to all.
We praise and thank
you, Lord, for all the blessings of the past three decades.
Please continue to form us and to transform us, to make
us the instruments that you desire, to renew the family
and to defend life. May we always be centered on you
our Lord Jesus, faithful to every aspect of our covenant,
and ever mindful of the cross you ask us to carry.
Grant us the grace to
fully trust in you and in your great plan for our lives,
and fill us always with joy whatever circumstances of
life we find ourselves in. We belong to you, and we
rightly offer our lives for the furtherance of your
Kingdom and the glory of your name.
May
you truly be our strength, now and forevermore.
Amen.

ACT
OF REPARATION TO THE
MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Pope Pius XI
O
most loving Jesus, whose immense love for men is repaid
by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt,
behold us prostrate before your altar. We are eager
to repair, by a special act of homage, the cruel indifference
and injuries to which Your loving heart is everywhere
subjected.
We
ourselves have had a share in such great indignities,
which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts.
We humbly ask your pardon and declare our readiness
to atone by voluntary penance not only for our own
personal offenses, but also for the sins of those,
who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse
in their obstinate infidelity to follow You, their
Shepherd and Leader, or renouncing the vows of their
baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Your law.
And
we intend to expiate all such deplorable crimes, we
propose to repair each one in particular:
| |
immodesty
in dress and actions,
the many seductions to ensnare the feet of the
innocent,
the violation of Sundays and holy days,
the horrible blasphemies uttered against You
and Your saints,
the insults hurled at Your Vicar and Your Priests,
The negligence and horrible sacrileges by which
the very sacrament of Your love is profaned,
and finally the public crimes of all nations
who resist the rights and the teaching authority
of the Church which You have founded. |
|
If
only we could with our blood wash away such abominations!
And now, in reparation for these violations of Your
divine honor, we offer the satisfaction that You
once made on the cross to Your Father, and which
You renew daily on our altars. We offer it in union
with the expiation of Your Virgin Mother, all the
saints and of all the devout faithful on earth.
We promise sincerely to repair, as far as we are
able, with the help of Your grace, the neglect of
Your great love, and for the sins we and others
have committed in the past: by a firm faith, an
innocent life, the observance of the law of charity;
and we promise to prevent others with all our powers
from offending You and to bring as many as possible
to follow You.
O
loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, our model in reparation, deign to receive
the voluntary offering we make of this act of reparation.
By the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful
until death in our duty and in the allegiance we
owe to You, so that we may all one day come to that
happy home, where You with the Father and the Holy
Spirit live and reign God, world without end. Amen.

Consecration to our Blessed Mother Mary
We kneel before you, as you yourself sit at the throne
room of God, beside our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
your Son. You more than anyone else embody the pure
love for our Lord Jesus that we all desire to have,
as you bore him in your womb, gave birth to him, raised
him, suffered with him through the cross, and finally
witnessed his resurrection. You are the one whose
soul perfectly proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
whose spirit perfectly rejoices in God our Savior.
You are the one we and all ages will call blessed.
You are the highly favored one, and the Lord is truly
with you. We thus look to you to be our mediatrix,
as we continue on our journey in the world, proclaiming
your Son Jesus and bringing his good news of salvation
to all. We recognize our weakness and sinfulness,
and that apart from the power of God’s Spirit
we can do nothing.
Dear Mother Mary, you are our inspiration for the
strengthening of families and the promotion of the
culture of life. Pray and intercede for us always,
that we may remain faithful to our covenant, steadfast
in our work, persevering despite trials and crosses,
and always mindful of the call to holiness and discipleship.
You who are holy and you who are the most faithful
disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, keep us in your
loving embrace always.
We consecrate ourselves, our families and our work
to you. Bless us, dear Mother, and journey with us,
as we continue to journey with your beloved Son Jesus.
You are our mother, and we are your children, now
and forever. Amen.
Hail Mary …

HAIL,
HOLY QUEEN
Hail,
Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness,
and our hope! To you we cry, poor banished children
of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious
advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after our
exile, show unto us the fruit of your womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. |
THE
MEMORARE
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection, implored
your help and 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 petition, but in your mercy
hear and answer me. Amen

PRAYER
FOR PRIESTS
by St. Mary Faustina Kowalska
O
my Jesus, we beg You on behalf of the whole Church:
grant it love and the light of Your Spirit, and give
power to the words of priests, so that hardened hearts
might be brought to repentance and return to You.
Lord,
give us holy priests: You Yourself maintain them in
holiness.
O
Divine and great High Priest, may the power of Your
mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from
the devil's traps and snares, which are continually
being set for the souls of priests.
May
the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to
naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests,
for You can do all things.
We
ask You, Jesus, for a special blessing and for light
for (here mention the name of your confessor or
parish priest) and all the priests before whom
we will make our confessions throughout our lifetime.
Amen.
MARY,
MOTHER OF PRIESTS PRAY FOR US.| |
PRAYER
FOR PRIESTS
by Richard Cardinal Cushing
O
Almighty Eternal God, look upon the face of your Son,
and for love of Him who is the Eternal High Priest
have pity on Your priests. Remember, O most compassionate
God, that they are but weak and frail human beings.
Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which
is in them by the imposition of the Bishop's hands.
Keep them close to You, lest the enemy prevail against
them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest
degree unworthy of their sublime vocation
O
Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests;
for Your unfaithful and tepid priest; for Your priests
laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for Your tempted priests; for the lonely and desolate
priests; for Your young priests; for Your dying priests;
for the souls of Your priests in Purgatory.
But
above all, I commend to You the priests dearest to
me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved
me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught or instructed me or helped
and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted
in any other way. O Jesus, keep them all close to
Your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and
in eternity. Amen.

PRAYER
TO ST. MICHAEL
by Pope Leo XIII
Saint
Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness and snares of the
devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do
Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine
Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil
spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the
ruin of souls. Amen.
|
LORD,
MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE
by St. Francis of Assisi
Lord,
make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is
hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair,
hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there
is sadness, joy.
O
Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to
be consoled as to console; to be understood as to
understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving
that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and in dying that we are born to eternal life.
|

PRAYER
FOR PEACE
Lord
Jesus, we come to you in our need.
Create
in us an awareness of the massive forces of conflict
that threaten our world today. And grant us a sense
of urgency to activate the forces of goodness, of justice,
of love, and of peace.
Where
there is armed conflict, let us stretch out our arms
to our brothers and sisters. Where there is abundance,
let there be simple lifestyle and sharing. Where there
is poverty, let there be dignified living and constant
striving for just structures. Where there is selfish
ambition, let there be humble service. Where there is
injustice, let there be atonement. Where there is despair,
let there be hope in the Good News. Where there are
wounds of division, let there be unity and wholeness.
Help
us to be committed to the building of Your kingdom,
not seeking to be cared for but to care; not expecting
to be served but to place ourselves in the service of
others; not aspiring to be materially secure but to
place our security in your love.
Teach
us Your spirit, for it is only in loving imitation of
You, Lord, that we can discover the healing springs
of life that will bring about new birth to the earth
and hope for the world. Amen.
Our
Lady, Queen of Peace. Pray for us.|

PRAYER
FOR THE EUCHARIST AND MARIAN YEAR
Lord
Jesus Christ, We celebrate a year of Grace, A year we
dedicate to the Holy Eucharist, and to the Blessed Virgin
Mary, Your Mother.
We need to experience as a nation the transforming power
of the Eucharist and the loving care of Mary, our Mother.
For
we are a wounded people, wounded by political conflicts
and tribal wars, wounded by unjust socio-economic divisions,
wounded by corruption and moral degeneration.
Lord Jesus Christ, as often as we celebrate the Holy
Eucharist, we remember how much you love us. Let the
Eucharist help us to work together as a people, so that
in every home, barangay, town and city all may live
in a culture of peace, unity and renewal.
As
we journey together in this year of Grace toward national
healing and reconciliation, Lord Jesus Christ, we believe
in the transforming power of the Eucharist. And we trust
in the loving care of Mary, our Mother. Grant then in
your tender mercy. What we ask for in faith, hope and
love. Amen.
Our
Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
San Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
That in all things, God may be glorified.

PRAYER
FOR THE FAMILY
Lord
God, from You every family in heaven and on earth takes
its name.
Father,
You are Love and Life. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ,
born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, fountain
of divine charity, grant that every family on earth
may become for each successive generation a true shrine
of life and love.
Grant
that Your grace may guide the thoughts and actions of
husbands and wives for the good of their families and
of all the families in the world.
Grant
that the young may find in the family solid support
for their human dignity and for their growth in truth
and love.
Grant
that love, strengthened by the grace of God's undying
love, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and
trails through which our families sometimes pass.
Through
the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth grant
that the Church may fruitfully carry out her worldwide
mission in the family and through the family.
Through
Christ, our Lord, who is the Way, the Truth and the
Life forever. Amen.

PRAYER
FOR THE UNBORN
PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS OF
ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTIVE-ABORTIFACIENTS
Almighty
Father, Author of life, we turn to you during these
times when there are serious threats to the sanctity
of life and stability of the family. You sent your Son,
Jesus Christ, the "Resurrection and the Life,"
born into a human family for our salvation.
Today,
on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, we celebrate the
conception of Jesus in the womb of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. Today, also, we pray for all the unborn. We commend
to your Divine Mercy the souls of the victims of direct
and chemical abortions. As we celebrate the beginning
of the life of Jesus, we also grieve for the many human
beings who were rejected, aborted, killed in the womb,
not given a chance to be born and have a decent life.
We cry at this ongoing human tragedy.
Lord,
we ask for the courage to defend life, to protect life
from moment of conception to natural death. We also
ask to enlighten our legislators to enact laws not contrary
to Your Divine Will to uphold life's inviolability and
family values. We pray also for our health workers so
that conscience may guide them in their work. Also in
advocacy against anti-life bills and contraceptive-abortifacient
programs, we implore the aid of the Communion of Saints
in our battle against the culture of death. Grant this
through Christ our Lord.
Our
Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
Holy Innocents, pray for us.
San Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
That in all things, God may be glorified. |
LITANY
OF HUMILITY
by Cardinal Merry del Val
O
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, hear me.
|
| From
the desire of being esteemed-
From the desire of being loved-
From the desire of being extolled-
From the desire of being honored-
From the desire of being praised-
From the desire of being preferred to others-
From the desire of being consulted-
From the desire of being approved-
From the fear of being humiliated-
From the fear of being despised-
From the fear of suffering rebukes-
From the fear of being calumniated-
From the fear of being forgotten-
From the fear of being ridiculed-
From the fear of being wronged-
From the fear of being suspected-
|
Deliver
me, Jesus.
|
That
others may be loved more than I-
That others may be esteemed more than I-
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase,
and I may decrease-
That others may be chosen and I set aside-
That others may be praised and I unnoticed-
That others may be preferred to me in everything-
That others may became holier than I, provided
that I may become as holy as I should-
|
Jesus,
grant me the grace to desire it. |

PRAYER
FOR DELIVERANCE FROM CALAMITIES
Almighty
Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for
the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your
Providence in sustaining is in our needs, and for Your
wisdom that guides the course of the universe.
We
acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation.
We have not been good stewards of nature. We have confused
You command to subdue the earth. The environment is
made to suffer our wrongdoing, and now we reap the harvest
of our abuse and indifference. Global warming is upon
us, Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption, and other natural
calamities occur in increasing number and intensity.
We
turn to You, our loving Father, and beg forgiveness
for our sins. We ask that we, our loved ones and our
hard earned possession be spared from the threat of
calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You to
inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of
Your creation, and generous neighbors to those in need.
Amen.
