| Prayer of Solace May Christ support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in his mercy, may he give us a safe lodging and holy rest and peace at the last. Amen. (John Cardinal Newman) |

| Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified My good and dear Jesus, I kneel before you, asking you most earnestly to engrave upon my heart a deep and lively faith, hope, and charity with true repentance for my sins and a firm resolve to make amends. As I reflect upon your five wounds and dwell upon them with deep compassion and grief, I recall, good Jesus, the words the prophet David spoke long ago concerning you: They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have counted all my bones. |

| Prayer in Time of Sickness O Jesus, you suffered and died for us. You understand my suffering. Teach me to understand my suffering as you do, to bear it in union with you, to offer it with you to atone for my sins and to bring your grace to souls in need. Calm my fears and increase my trust. May I gladly accept your holy will and become more like you in trial. If it be your will, restore me to health so that I may work for your honor and glory and the salvation of all. Amen. |
| Prayer for the Sick Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to you in this time of illness. O dearest Comforter of the Troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your holy will and know that whatsoever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen. |
| In Thanksgiving for a Favor Received Thank you, O God, for hearing my prayer and granting my request. Thank you for all the kindness you have shown me. Thank you, Father, for your great love in giving me my life, for your great patience in preserving me despite my sinfulness, for your protection in the past, and for the opportunity to serve and honor you in the future. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for keeping me numberless times from sin and death by the tolls of your life, the sufferings of your Passion, and by your victorious Resurrection. Thank you, Holy Spirit of God, for bestowing so many graces upon my soul and for having so frequently renewed your life within me. May my life from now on be a sign of my gratefulness. Amen. |
