In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Take 5 minutes to give God your intentions and rest in His Peace.

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. 
My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you 
My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.

St. Nicholas of Flue; cf. Mt 5:29-30; 16:24-26.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

In Jesus Name. Amen.

Let nothing trouble you / Let nothing frighten you Everything passes / God never changes Patience / Obtains all Whoever has God / Wants for nothing God alone is enough.

St. Teresa of Jesus, Poesias 30 in the Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, vol. III, tr. K. Kavanaugh OCD and O. Rodriguez OCD (Washington DC Institute of Carmelite Studies, 1985), 386 no. 9. tr. John Wall.

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven, on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen

(This prayer was revealed by Our Lord to a Carmelite Nun, Sr. Mary of St. Peter of Tours in 1843. "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully," He said, "and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy.")

To Be Said at 6:00 a.m., Noon and 6:00 p.m.

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,

R. And she conceived of the Hoty Spirit. Hail Mary...

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

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 Incamation 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.

O Divine Eternal Father, in union with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the power of Your greatest enemy - the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of Your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully Yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You, with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen.

"God governs the world but prayer governs God."

Lord, You wished to create me, I would not exist were it not for Your Almighty Power. You created me because You love me, and I want to love You the way You have loved me. Lord, two thousand years ago, mankind walked the earth in darkness, lost by the sin of our first parents. And You, in obedience to the Father and out of love for me, decided to become flesh in the Virgin's womb. You became a man so as to suffer for me, redeem me from my sins, and open the gates of Heaven for me. Thank you for Your Love, Jesus; thank you for being born of the Blessed Virgin. Thank you, dear Mother, for saying yes to God and allowing the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, to become man.

Lord Jesus, You are here with me now. You came into the world to teach me. You left me the path I must take to reach You and possess You forever in the Gospel. Thank you, Jesus, for such love. You truly are Almighty God. I am a poor and miserable creature; and yet You loved me and continue to love me, not only in words, but with real love, love shown in works. That is why I know that You are with me now, in my heart, watching over me. Guide my prayer, Lord, cleanse my soul of all my sins and selfishness and fill it with Your Light and Your Love. Grant me the grace I need most, because without You, I can do nothing.

Make me a channel of Your Peace

Where there is hatred

let me bring Your Love

Where ther is injury,

Your Pardon, Lord

And where there is doubt

true faith in You

Make me a channel of Your Peace

Where there's despair in life

let me bring hope

Where there is darkness only light

And where there's sadness ever joy

Oh, Master grand that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console

To be understood as to understand

To be loved as to love with all my soul

Make me a channel of Your Peace

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned

In giving to all men that we receive

And in dying that we are born to eternal life

In Jesus Name, Amen.
