PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF MANAOAG
Virgin Mother of God, Queen of the most Holy Rosary, thou, who hast chosen to raise thy throne of mercy in Manaoag, to be the beloved protectress and Patron of the Province of Pangasinan, and therefrom to bestow thy graces on us, thy children, banished in this valley of tears, look down with thine eyes of mercy upon me, who am beset with so many dangers of body and soul. Despite not my petition, O dearest Mother, but intercede for me before thy divine Son now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
Virgin of Manaoag, pray for us.
MY DAILY OFFERING
Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, 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 salvacion of souls, reparation of sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops, and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
PRAYER TO ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to loved; for it is in giving that we received; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
SPECIAL ACT OF SORROW
Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins; the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul, the sins of my body, my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins, the sins I know, the sins I have concealed so long, and which are now hidden from my memory.
I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial, for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour.
I know my sins have wounded Thy tender Heart, O my Saviour, let me freed from the bonds of evil through the most bitterpassion of my Redeemer.
O my Jesus, forget and forgive what I have been. Amen.
PRAYER FOR DEPARTED LOVED ONES
O Almighty God, Who by the love which you have for all people, have deigned to take our humanity, to live a life of hard work, to suffer a most cruel Passion, and finally to die on the Cross. I beseech You, by the infinite merits purchased for us with Your precious Blood, look mercifully on the suffering which is endured by the holy souls in Purgatory. Accept, O merciful God, the prayers which I offer for them, and call them to the glory of Heaven. I recommend to You the souls of my relations, friends and benefactors, and in a special manner of those to whom I may have been an ocassion of sin by my bad example.
Most holy Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Comforter of the Afflicted, intercede for those souls, that, by Your powerful intercession, they may be admitted to enjoy that Kingdom which is prepared for them. Amen.
CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly kneeling before Thy altar. We are Yours and Yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with You, each one of us freely consecrates himself today to Your most Sacred Heart.
Many have never known You; many, too, have rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to your Sacred Heart.
May You be recognized as Saviour by all those who are still in darkness of disbelief. Draw them into the light and kingdom of God.
Grant, O Lord to Your Church freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry; Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvacion; to it be glory and honor forever. Amen.
PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
O, Holy Spirit, in these days of doubt, confusion and uncertainty, come into our hearts with your light, your strength and your consolation.
Come with the light of truth and teach us the will of God in our daily living especially now when God's basic laws are challenged or ignored.
Come with your strength that purifies our heart and our desires and guards us against the danger of pride, and self-conceit.
Bring your consolation so that with a heart attuned to your holy love we may live in peace and harmony in our families and give to our communities the spirit of cooperation, tolerance and understanding.
O God, you have instructed the faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit. Grant that through this same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and enjoy His consolation always. Amen.
