Prayers

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, which 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
For Thine is the Kingdom
The power and glory
For ever and ever
Amen

THE GRACE

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
And the love of God
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be with us all, evermore

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.

SUB TUUM

We fly to Thy protection,
O Holy Mother of God;
Do not despise our petitions
in our necessities,
but deliver us always
from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST PETER

O Holy Apostle, because you are the Rock
Upon which Almighty God has built His church;
Obtain for me I pray you, lively faith, firm hope
And burning love; complete detachment from myself, 
Contempt of the world, patience in adversity,
Humility in prosperity, recollection in prayer,
Purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, 
Diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, 
Constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the will of God
And perseverance in the grace of God even unto death;
That so, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, 
I may be worthy to appear before the chief and eternal Shepherd of souls,
Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns for ever. 
Amen.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: ST JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I place myself in the presence of him, in whose Incarnate Presence I am before. I place myself there.

I adore thee, O my saviour, present here as God and man, in soul and body, in true flesh and blood.

I acknowledge and confess that I kneel before that sacred humanity, which was conceived in Mary’s womb and lay in Mary’s bosom; which grew up to man’s estate, and by the Sea of Galilee called the twelve, wrought miracles, and spoke words of wisdom and peace; which in due season hung on the cross, lay in the tomb, rose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven.

I praise, and bless, and give myself wholly to him, who is the true bread of my soul, and my everlasting joy.

Regina Caeli

Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. 
For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia. 
Has risen, as He said, alleluia. 
Pray for us to God, alleluia. 
Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia. 
For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray.
O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
