Before anything else, dearest Father, forgive me for the many times I have offended and hurt You. Forgive me for my unfaithfulness, for seeking after worldly pleasures and selfish interests, instead of striving to do Your will, instead of striving to be holy. Yet, Father, notwithstanding my transgressions, You continue to love, care for and protect me. You sustain me still, providing me with all good things. You withhold not Your blessings. Father, Yours are limitless compassion and mercy, and unchanging love. I cannot thank You enough, Father. And I bow down in praise and worship of You. Lord, I humbly besseech You, give me the grace to love You the way You love me. Grant me the grace to be truly repentant of my sins, and heal my callousness. Forgive me, dearest Father, have mercy on me a sinner. Heal me, who am in dire need of Your healing touch. |

So I just place my (name/s}'s concerns and needs before You, trusting You will give whatever is best for each one of us. (Whisper your petitions to our Father) Father, we come believing in miracles. As Your Son our Lord Jesus has taught us, I come to ask, expecting to receive, to seek, expecting to find, and to knock, expecting to be let in...Father, do increase my faith further, as I intercede for my (name/s}'s healing, so that I may be able to move mountains. Father, I pray, immerse me {name) in the precious blood of Jesus, shed for our salvation. Lord Jesus, enfold me (name/s) in the open wound of Your Sacred Heart. Grant me (name/s) complete healing and recovery. Make me (naeme/s) whole, Lord. Pour out torrents of Your healing grace upon me(name/s); let Your healing power flow within me(name/s), through each and every organ, muscle, vein, artery, fiber, my(name/s) whole being..

Cleanse and salve the inflammations and infections. But most of all, Lord, relieve and rectify the emotional hurts, humiliations, rejections, lack of love and abuses that have wounded, crippled, disfigured and diminished me(name/s) . Almighty Father, omnipotent Creator that You are, please be the One to make up for whatever is missing or lacking or wrong in my(name/s)'s life.

| Thanksgiving Prayer I thank you, Jesus: for the gift of life, and every moment I live. For my health, even though at times I may have been ill, or suffered serious reverses and sufferings. So often these and other crosses are blessings in disguise. For the world about me, such as the glories of nature,the moon, the stars, the flowers of the fields, the fruits of the earth, the very air I breathe, the refreshing rains, the glorious sunshine, the seasons of the year. For my parents, my reltives, my treasured and trusted friends. I thank you for the gift of my faith. For the gift of Yourself in the Incarnation in which You became man, lived for me, taught me by Your word and example. For the gift of redemption, which You accomplished by Your sufferings, death and resurrection - all this for my salvation. O my God, I thank You for all the favors You have bestowed upon me. I give You thanks from the bottom of my heart for having created me, and for all the joys of life, and its sorrows, too, for the home You gave me, for the loved ones with which You have surrounded me, for the friends I have made through life. My Lord, I thank You for guarding me always and keeping me safe; I thank You for giving me so often in the sacrament of Penance, forgiveness for my sins; for offering Yourself in Holy Mass with all Your infinite merits to the Father for me; for coming to me in Holy Communion, in spite of the coldness of my welcome; for the patient waiting in the adorable sacrament of the altar. My Jesus, I thank You for having lived, suffered, and died for me. I thank You for Your love. I thank You, Lord for preparing a place for me in heaven where I hope to be happy with You, and to thank You for all eternity. Amen. |

| "The Pope also beatified Dina Belanger because of her devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus revealed to Dina the power of the holy hour in making reparation. One form of reparation is the ability to make up for what is lacking in the life of another. One day before her holy hour, Jesus showed Dina a multitude of souls on the precipice of hell. After her holy hour, Jesus showed the same souls in the hands of God. He told her that through holy hours of prayer a multitude of souls go to heaven who otherwise would have gone to hell as one person can make up for what is lacking in the lives of others by winning precious efficacious graces for their salvation. In other words, Eucharistic Adoration is the outpouring of God's Divine Mercy on the world!" -from "How One Soul Coming Before the Blessed Sacrament Can Change the World." |
| The image of the Blessed Sacrament is from the Adoration Chapel of the parish of St. John Bosco in Makati City, Philippines and is used here since 2002 with the permission of former parish priest, Fr. Gerry Battad, and in May 2003, from Fr. Bernie Carpio, the newly-appointed parish priest. |

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into hell, Satan and all evil spirits who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen |
| O Glorious St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong and so prompt. Before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and my desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that , having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and the child Jesus in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes in your arms; Please kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. |

| Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Divine Jesus, You have said, "Ask and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you," behold me kneeling at Your feet, filled with a lively faith and confidence in the promises dictated by Your Scred Heart and pronounced by Your adorable lips. I come to ask this favor: (Here silently mention your petititons.) To whom can I turn if not to You, Whose Heart is the source of all graces and mer5its. Where should I seek if not in the treasure which contains all the riches of Your kindness and mercy? Where must I knock if not at the door through which God gives Himself to us and through which we go to God? I have recourse to You, Heart of Jesus. In You I find consolation when afflicted, protecftion when persecuted, strength when burdened with trials, and light in doubt and darkness. Dear Jesus, I firmly believe thtat You can grant me the grace I implore, even though it should require a miracle. You have only to will it, and my prayer will be granted. I admit that I am most unworthy of Your favors, but this is not a reason for me to be discouraged. You are the God of mercy and You will not refuse a contrite heart. Cast upon me a look of mercy, I beg of You, and Your kind heart will find in my miseries and weakness a reason for granting my prayer. O Sacred Heart, whatever may be Your decision with regard to my request, I will never stop adoring, loving, praising, and serving You. Lord Jesus, be pleased to accept this my act of perfect resignation to the decrees of Your adorable Heart which I sincerely desire may be fulfilled in and by me and all Your creatures forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I know that there is but one thing impossible to You; to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look upon me I beg of You, dear Jesus, and grant me the grace for which I humbly implore You through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother. You have entrusted me to her as her child,, and her prayers are all-powerful with You. Amen. |
| Miraculous Invocation to St. Therese O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the human family, I implore your miraculous intercession. You are so powerful in obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother Church proclaims you "Prodigy of Miracles...the Greatest Saint of Modern Times." Now, I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and to carry out your promise of spending Heaven doing good upon earth...of letting fall from Heaven a shower of roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith, to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life, and to love God with full confidence. St. Therese, I will fulfill your plea "to be made known everywhere" and I will continue to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen. |

| The Hour of Great Mercy In His revelations to St. Faustina, Our Lord asked for special prayer and meditation on His Passion each afternoon at the three o'clock hour, the hour that recalls His death on the cross. "At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy....In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion.": Prayer at the Hour of Great Mercy You expired Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fountain of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a found of mercy for us, I trust in You. Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen. |

Through Christ our Lord, Amen. |

| My dearest Lord, Jesus, I sit here in Your glorious Presence, yet my soul falls short in praise of Your mercy and goodness for such a wretched sinner like me. Give me compunction, oh my Jesus, that I may be truly sorry for the many times I have broken Your heart. .....Teach me how to pray, so that in constant prayer I may know You as You want me to and that I may know myself and Your will for me. |
