January 17, 2021 Pray the Merton Prayer
Thomas Merton was a 20th century Trappist monk, poet, social activist, and author of more than 50 books. This prayer was published in his book Thoughts In Solitude, and it expresses a beautiful trust in God despite confusion and uncertainty. If you've ever felt lost or unsure of who you are or where you are going, this prayer is for you.
The Merton Prayer:
My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always, though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

December 23, 2020 A Prayer for Christmas Eve
Pray this Christmas Eve prayer attributed to 19th century Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson.
Loving Father,
Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus' sake.
Amen.

December 13, 2020 Pray the O Antiphons
Listen and pray with Bishop Robert Reed as he sings the seven O Antiphons. Since the 8th century, the Roman Catholic Church has been singing the O Antiphons during Evening prayer from December 17-23. Each Antiphon begins with “O,” and a name for Jesus like “Wisdom,” “Leader of the House of Israel,” and “King of All Nations,” followed by a petition for him to “come!” The antiphons use imagery from the Old Testament and capture the ancient longing for the Divine Messiah. Join us in this beautiful Advent prayer!
December 17
O Wisdom of our God Most High,
guiding creation with power and love:
come to teach us the path of knowledge!
December 18
O Leader of the House of Israel,
giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:
come to rescue us with your mighty power!

shadow of death.
December 22
O King of all nations and keystone of the Church:
come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!
December 23
O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law:

December 06, 2020 Pray the Magnificat
Join us in praying the Magnificat. Taken from Luke 1:46-55, the Magnificat is Mary's canticle, a song of praise and surrender in response to Elizabeth after the child leapt in her womb.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.

November 29, 2020 Pray the Prayer of Abandonment
Join us in praying the Prayer of Abandonment. It was written by Charles de Foucauld, a Catholic priest, hermit, and martyr. Some say that it was his prayer to the Father written while on retreat in Nazareth and others say that it is his narrative of Jesus' prayer to the Father.
Father,
I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul:
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
for you are my Father.

November 22, 2020 Pray the Litany of Humility
Join us in praying the Litany of Humility. Attributed to Cardinal Merry del Val, secretary of state to Pope Saint Pius X, this litany challenges us to free ourselves of pride, self-centeredness, and fear of what others think. The litany has us refocus on asking Jesus to help us desire meekness and humility.

O Jesus meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being forgotten, Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being ridiculed, Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being wronged, Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being suspected, Deliver me, Jesus.
That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may become holier than I, provided that I become as holy as I should,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Amen.

October 05, 2020 Pray A Prayer to Your Guardian Angel When You Can't Attend Mass
If you're unable to attend Mass, pray this prayer and ask your guardian angel to go in your place. According the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." (CCC 336). Since our guardian angels desire God's glory and our salvation, we can be confident that they will gladly pray for us at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
A Prayer to your Guardian Angel When You Can't Attend Mass:
O Holy Angel at my side,
Go to Church for me, kneel in my place,
At Holy Mass, where I desire to be.
At offertory, in my stead, take all I am and own,
And place it as a sacrifice upon the Altar Throne.
At Holy Consecration’s bell, adore with
Seraph’s love, my Jesus hidden in the Host,
Come down from heaven above.
Then pray for those I dearly love,
And those who cause me grief,
That Jesus’ blood may cleanse all hearts,
And suffering souls relieve.
And when the priest Communion takes,
Oh, bring my Lord to me, that His sweet
Heart may rest on mine, and I His temple be.
Pray that this Sacriﬁce Divine, may all our sins efface;
then bring me Jesus’ blessing home.
the pledge of every grace.
