The Memorare of St. Bernard
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary; that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee, O Virgins of Virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
Prayer to the Sacred Heart
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, filled with infinite love; broken by our ingratitude and pierced by our sins; yet loving us still; accept the consecration we make to thee of all that we are and all that we have.
Take every faculty of our souls and bodies, only day by day draw us nearer and nearer to Thy Sacred Heart; and there as we shall hear the lesson, teach us Thy Holy Way.
I will bless every place where a picture of my heart shall be exposed and honoured.
Amen

Amen

Prayer to St. Michael
Feast Day: September 29th.
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. We humbly beseech God to command him, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who roam through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your 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.
Where there is sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master, let me not so much seek to be loved as to love.
