+In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
SAINT PATRICK’S BREASTPLATE
I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.
Christ, be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.
ADORATION & THANKSGIVING
Unto the King of ages, the immortal, invisible, and only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the innumerable blessings which I have received from your loving kindness, especially for having preserved me this night.
Glory be to the Father who has created me.
Glory be to the Son who has redeemed me.
Glory be to the Holy Spirit who has sanctified me.
MORNING OFFERING
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you 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 relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
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 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, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will 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 ANGELUS
The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
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.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary…
And the WORD was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary…
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God;
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.
OUR LADY OF HOPE
O Mary, Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners, we pray that through your most powerful intercession, our hearts may be filled with Holy Hope, so that in life’s darkest hour we may never fail to trust in God our Savior, but by walking in the way of His commandments we may merit to be united with Him, and with you in the eternal joys of Heaven. Amen.
Mary, our Hope, have pity on us. Hope of the Hopeless, pray for us.
ST. JOSEPH
To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our tribulation, and having implored the help of your most holy spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities. O most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be propitious to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness; and, as once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die holily, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
ST. MICHAEL
Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection 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, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
What follows is the “Jesus Prayer” three times in honor of the Most Holy Trinity
and in remembrance of 3 p.m, the Hour of Great Mercy,
so hallowed by our Lord’s death upon the cross.
THE JESUS PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
