Prayers

Oh, my Lord and Savior,

support me in that hour

in the strong arms of Your sacraments,

and by the fresh fragrance of Your consolations,

Let the absolving words be said over me

and the holy oil sign and seal me,

and Your own Body be my food

and Your Blood my sprinkling,

and let my sweet Mother Mary breathe on me,

and my angel whisper peace to me,

and my glorious saints smile upon me;

that in them all and through them all,

I may receive the gift of perseverance,

and die, as I desire to live,

in Your Faith, in Your Church,

in Your service and in Your Love.

Amen

Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You,
always follow Your plans, and perfectly accomplish Your holy will.
Grant that in all things, great and small,
today and all the days of my life
I may do whatever You may require of me.
Help me to respond to the slightest prompting of Your grace
so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument.
May Your will be done in time and eternity
by me, in me, and through me.
Amen.

Prayer to Christ the King

O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the Universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Exercise upon me all Your rights. I renew my Baptismal Promises, renouncing satan and all his works and pomps. I promise to live a good Christian life and do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer you my poor actions in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Your Sacred Royalty, and that thus the reign of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen.

Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I have and all You have given me I surrender to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I will be rich enough and will desire nothing more.
