Prayers:

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell: on the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

The Our Father
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.

The Hail Mary
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 our death. Amen.

The Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my associates, and for the general intentions recommended this month by the Holy Father. Amen.

Grace Before Meals
Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive, from Thy bounty, through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Grace After Meals
We give Thee thanks, O Almighty God, for all Thy benefits, who livest and reignest forever. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

The Angelus
(Prayed at 6 a.m., 12 Noon, and 6 p.m.)

V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary…

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
R. Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary…

V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary…

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

Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope
O my God, relying on Your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Charity
O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You. I forgive all who have injured me, and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Angel of God
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love entrusts me here, ever this day (night) be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

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

Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel , defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Prayer Before Mass
Eternal Father, I offer You the sacrifice wherein Your dear Son Jesus offered Himself upon the cross and which He now renews upon this altar, to adore You and to give You that honor which is Your due, acknowledging Your supreme dominion over all things and their absolute dependence on You, for You are our first beginning and our last end; to give You thanks for countless benefits received; to appease Your justice provoked to anger by so many sins, and to offer You worthy satisfaction for the same; and finally to implore Your grace and mercy for myself, for all poor sinners, for the whole world, and for the blessed souls in Purgatory.

Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Your wounds hide me. Never permit me to be separated from You. From the evil one protect me. At the hour of my death call me, and bid me come to You, that with Your saints I may praise You forever. Amen.

Prayer Before a Crucifix
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul pray and beseech You to fix deep into my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment. Meanwhile, I contemplate with great love and tender mercy Your five most precious wounds, pondering over them within me, and calling to mind the words which David in prophecy made You say concerning Yourself, my Jesus: “They have pierced my hands and feet; they have numbered all my bones.”

Spiritual Communion
O Jesus, I turn toward the holy tabernacle where You live hidden for love of me. I love You, my God. I cannot now receive You in Holy Communion. Come, nevertheless, to visit me with Your grace. Come spiritually into my heart. Purify it, sanctify it, render it like unto Your own.
