A Morning Prayer

You have given me another day, O God, untouched and new.

Forgive the many errors that I made yesterday and let me try again, dear God, to walk a little closer to You.

Still, Lord, You and I both know I can't make it on my own.

Take my hand and hold it tight, for I can't walk alone.

Amen

Prayer for Souls in Purgatory

Father, God of all consolation, in Your unending love and mercy for us
You turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life.

Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, we ask You to deliver the souls in Purgatory, especially those for whom we now pray... (Mention them here.)

Welcome them into Your presence and bless them with eternal light and peace.

Raise them up to live forever with all Your saints in the glory of the Resurrection.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept those I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

But God, grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless.

Motorist's Prayer

Grant me, O Lord, a steady hand and watchful eye.

That no one shall be hurt as I pass by.

You gave life, I pray no act of mine may take away or mar that gift of thine.

Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear my company, from the evils of fire and all calamity.

Teach me, to use my car for others need; Nor miss through love of undue speed
The beauty of the world; that thus I may with joy and courtesy go on my way.

St. Christopher, holy patron of travelers, protect me and lead me safely to my destiny.

            Amen.

Goodnight God. I hope you are having a good time being the world. I like the world very much I'm glad you made the plants and trees survive with the rain and summers. When summer is nearly near the leaves begin to fall. I hope you have a good time being the world. I like how God feels around everyone in the world. God, I am very happy that I live on you.

Your arms clasp around the world. I like you and your friends. Every time I open my eyes I see the gleaming sun. I like the animals-the deer, and us creatures of the world, the mammals. I love my dear friends.

Grant, O God, thy protection, and in protection, strength, and in strength, understanding, and in understanding, knowledge, and in knowledge, the knowledge of justice, and in the knowledge of justice, the love of it, and in that love, the love of all existences, and in the love of all existences, the love of God, God and all goodness.

Litany for Priests

Jesus, meek and humble of heart, give all priests Thy spirit of humility; Jesus, poor and worn out for souls, give all priests Thy spirit of zeal; Jesus, full of patience and mercy for sinners, give all priests Thy spirit of compassion; Jesus, victim for the sins of the world, give all priests Thy spirit of sacrifice, Jesus, lover of the little and the poor, give all priests Thy spirit of charity.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us; and obtain for us numerous and holy priests and religious. Amen

I Said a Prayer for You Today

I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart although he spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you at the start of each new day; to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!

Guardian Angel Prayer

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 and rule and guide.

Amen

Healing Prayer

Lord Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, go back into my memory as I sleep.

Every hurt that has ever been done to me, heal that hurt.

All the relationships that have been damaged in my whole life that I am not aware of, heal those relationships.

But, O Lord, if there is anything that I need  to do,

If I need to go to a person because he or she is still suffering from my hand, bring to my awareness that person. I choose to forgive, and I ask to be forgiven.

Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart, Lord, and fill the empty spaces with your love.

Amen
