MARIANS PRAYER

Morning Offering

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops and of all the Apostles of Prayer, and in particular…

Invocation to the Holy Spirit

Come, O Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your Divine Love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

 Let us pray:

 O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of Your faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit a love and relish of what is right and just and a constant enjoyment of His comforts through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer For Peace

Loving Father, we come to you in our need. Create in us an awareness of the massive forces of conflict that threaten our world today. Grant us a sense of urgency to activate the forces of goodness, of justice, of love and peace. 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 reconciliation 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 place ourselves in the service of other. Not assuring so much to be materially secure, as to place our security in Your love. Send us Your Spirit, for it’s only obedience to Your will, that we can discover the healing spring of life that will bring about rebirth and hope for the world.

Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that we may ever invoke Your most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O sweetest Mary, let Your name henceforth be ever on our lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help us whenever we call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, “Mary, Mary” O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill our soul when we pronounce your sacred name or even only when we think of you. We thank God for having given you for our good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name; but we will not be content with merely pronouncing your name; let our love for you prompt ever to hail you, O Mother of Perpetual Help.

Mother of Perpetual Help... Pray for us.

Prayer For Our Nation

O Almighty God, bless and protect the Philippines. May it ever be a country of freedom and justice. Teach us to love You and to love our country. Inspire and guide our rulers. May we always be united and loyal to You, and may we always be loyal to our country and to our flag. Grant us true peace. Amen

Prayer for the Beatification of Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo.

Father in heaven, your name is glorified over all the earth in Your saints, men and women, distinguished by a whole-hearted service and love for you. Through them you have established religious congregations in your Church. In your goodness and mercy, you have looked with favour on your people in the Philippines and have chosen from among them your lowly handmaid IGNACIA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO to be the foundress of a religious family under the special protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We humbly ask you, then, to glorify your name in her by performing the miracles needed for her beatification. Through your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 May her prayers and intercession obtain for us the favour we ask for, particularly that of remaining ever faithful to your love and service. Amen.

Prayer for Vocation

Lord Jesus, you called the ones you wanted to call, call many of us, to work for you, to work with you. You, who enlighten us with faith in you, you who supported them in their difficulties, help us to conquer the difficulties we have as young people of today. And if you call one of us to be consecrated completely to you, may our love give warmth of this vocation and make it grow and persevere to the end. Amen.

Angelus (prayed at 12:00 o’clock and 6:00 o’clock)

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary

And she conceived of the Holy Spirit

 Hail Mary…..

 Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

Be it done unto me according to Your Word.

 Hail Mary….

 And the Word was made flesh

And dwelt among us.

 Hail Mary…

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

 Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord. Your grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ Your Son, was made known by the message of an angel. May by His passion and cross, be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; 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 confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
