| Prayer to the Holy Spirit Come, Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just. Let my charity be such as to offend no one and hurt no one's feelings, so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me. Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations, and console me in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen. |
| Prayer for a Steadfast Heart Grant me, O God, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downward, an unconquered heart which no trial can wear out, an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you. I ask this through Jesus, our Lord. Amen. |
| Prayer for a Special Need Sacred Heart of Jesus, I firmly believe that you are here and see me perfectly and that you observe all my actions, all my thoughts, and the most secret movements of my heart. You permit me, a sinner, to remain in your presence. It is your goodness and bounty which command me to come to you in this, my time of special need. With confidence I pray that you will grant me this grace which I ask of you. Amen. |
| Morning Prayer O my God, I offer you all my prayers, works, and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the intentions for which he pleads and offers himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in thanksgiving for your favors, in reparation for my offenses, and in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare for the conversion of sinners and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory. Amen. |
| Prayer for Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests, for your unfaithful and tepid priests, for your priest laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields, for your tempted priests, for your lonely and desolate priests, for your young priests, for your dying priests, and for the souls of your priests in purgatory. Amen. |
