Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy
name, Thy kingdom in
heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread and
forgive us our trespassers
as we forgive those who
trespass against us and
lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us
from evil. Amen
Hail Mary, full of Grace,
the Lord is with Thee,
Blessed art thou among
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of our
death.  Amen
The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10)
  • Blessed are the poor in spirit, for
    theirs is the kingdom of heaven
  • Blessed are they who mourn, for they
    shall be comforted
  • Blessed are the meek, for they shall
    inherit the land
  • Blessed are they who hunger and
    thirst for righteousness, for they shall
    be satisfied
  • Blessed are the clean of heart, for
    they shall see God
  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for
    they shall be called children of God
  • Blessed are they who are persecuted
    for the sake of righteousness, for
    theirs is the kingdom of heaven
It's funny how we can make time to watch our favorite television programs,
read the current bestselling books, and surf the internet - yet we make
every excuse in the book for not making (or taking) the time to pray

We can easily pray any time, any place and God hears us.. There are the
traditional prayers we perhaps memorized as children, on our parent's
knees or some form of religious education. We can sing out praise to the
Lord in church, we can whisper to Him while alone in a deserted park or
field or join others in prayer at a chapel. We can be creative and God won't
mind. We can tell God about everything from little nothings to great big
problems and He will be interested. No matter why, when or how we prayer,
we can count on Jesus, his Father and the Spirit. Who knows, at some
point, we may realize that He can count on us. Let us give God chance.

Include the opportunity to pray in every day..
  • Pray on your commute: Listen to a tape of Scripture, pray the rosary or
    just mentally converse with our Lord as you drive or ride to and from
    work each day.
  • Say a prayer each time you hang up the phone: It doesn’t have to be
    long. Just a simple, “Bless that person, Lord” would be plenty.
  • Practice an Alarm Clock Prayer -- every morning when you reach over
    to turn off the alarm clock -- make sure to say a prayer to thank God
    for another day and for all your blessings.
  • Practice Shower Prayer -- as you take your morning shower, pray to be
    cleansed of any anger, feelings of bitterness and regret.
  • Practice Driveway Meditation -- especially if you commute to work..as
    you drive ask the Holy Spirit to steer you through your day and think
    about your "to be" list..compassionate, serene, and diligent and let
    grace-filled thoughts fill your mind.
  • Elevator Blessing -- next time you are on an elevator with someone
    else, ask God to meet the other person's unique needs and add a
    smile on your own.
  • Touch the Earth -- "Never let a day go by without touching the earth
    with your foot" (Native American saying) Even if it is only for 5 or 10
    minutes a few times a week.. Take a walk, mediate, and take it slow to
    observe and experience your involvement with all that God has
    created in nature.

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

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy
faithful and enkindle in them the shalt
renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray: O God, Who didst instruct 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
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Name to Pray
Jesus Christ. We trace a cross on ourselves, the cross of Jesus. His death on the Cross was an
outpouring of love for us. The Sign of the Cross is a reminder of his love, a love found not only in the
past, but here and now, as we make this sign upon ourselves; for the love of Jesus Christ abides
forever.

The Sign of the Cross is a wonderful daily expression of our relationship with God. God is the One who
blesses. This prayer reminds us that each day, in good times and bad, in danger and sorrow, God's care
and blessings are never far from us.

Tracing this holy sign on our forehead, our hearts and our shoulders, we remember we are blessed in
mind and heart and all our being. We can approach God with confidence through Jesus Christ whose
ever present love this holy sign recalls. "Come to me," God says through this prayer, "do not be afraid.
Before you take one step, I reach to embrace you with blessings in my hands."
