LORD's Prayer

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.AMEN
 
 
AVE Maria

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.


Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.


Hail, Holy Queen


Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve, to thee do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley, of tears.


Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us; and
after this our exile show unto us the\
lessed fruit of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.


Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Leader: Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, with everlasting good
news to announce to those who dwell on earth, to every nation, tribe,
tongue, and people (Rv 14: 6).

Let us pray.


My dear Guardian Angel, you were given to me by my merciful God to be
the faithful companion of my earthly exile. I honor and love you as my most
devoted friend to whom God has entrusted the care of my immortal soul.
With all my heart I thank you for your love and constant care of me.


Dearest Angel-friend, I beg you to guard and protect me, a poor sinner.
Conduct me on the way of life. Warn me against every occasion of sin, and
fill my soul with wholesome thoughts and loving encouragement to practice
virtue. Intercede for me that I may share in your burning zeal in God's
service and devoted love for his divine will.

Forgive me, loving Guardian, for so often disregarding your advice in the
past and for ignoring your inspirations. I shall try in the future to obey
you willingly and faithfully. You know the value of my soul in the eyes of
God. Never permit me to forget that it was redeemed by the Precious Blood of
Jesus Christ. Let no stain of evil disfigure the beauty of my soul, nor any
sinful thought or deed rob me of my dignity as a child of God. Keep me from
scandal that I may never become an occasion of sin to others and thus
destroy the work that Christ has wrought in their souls by his bitter
passion and death.


Dear Guardian Angel, may I enjoy your protection in this dangerous journeyhrough life that I may reach my eternal home in heaven, there to praise the mercy of God toward me in union with you and all the other angels and saints for ever. Amen.
