Prayers for the Holy Souls In Purgatory in Song (Saint Gertrude)

Souls Carried to Heaven - William-Adolphe Bouguereau

"And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.  It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins."  2 Maccabees 12:45-46

Marian Consecration

 

Marian Consecration
as given to St. Louis Marie de Montfort

 

I, (name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. 

 

In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen.  I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present, and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and eternity. Amen.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

 

Prayer Before a Crucifix

 

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray and beg You to fix deep in my heart lively virtues of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment;

 

While I contemplate, with great love and tender pity, Your five most precious wounds, pondering over them within me and calling to mind the words which David, Your prophet, said of You, my Jesus:

 

"They have pierced my hands and my feet, they have numbered all my bones."

 

Amen.

Come Holy Spirit Prayer

 

Come Holy Spirit

 

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.  Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.  And You shall renew the face of the earth.

 

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

 

 

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evils spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Memorare Prayer

 

Memorare

 

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided.  Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you do I come, before you I stand sinful and sorrowful.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.

Act of Contrition Prayer

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 art 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.

The Morning Offering Prayer

 

The Morning Offering Prayer 

Eternal Father, I offer You everything I do this day: my work, my prayers, my apostolic efforts; my time with family and friends; my hours of relaxation;
my difficulties, problems, distress, which I shall try to bear with patience,

Join these, my gifts, to the unique offering which Jesus Christ, Your Son, renews today in the Eucharist.

Grant, I pray, that, vivified by the Holy Spirit and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, my life this day may be of service to you and your children and help consecrate the world to you. Amen.

The Morning Offering Prayer

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings
of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world, in reparation for my sins,
for the intentions of all my relatives and friends,
and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
