For the holy Church of God, that the Lord may graciously watch over her and care for her, we pray:
For the whole world: that our days may truly become the acceptable time of grace, salvation, and peace, we pray:
For those who are downhearted or are burdened with difficulties: that they may experience the transfiguring power of God, we pray:
For our parish chapter of St. Vincent de Paul, may all who serve in this ministry and all who receive assistance find peace the Lord, we pray:
For those who are far from the Church: that in this season of reconciliation they may return to Christ, we pray:
That this season of Lent will be a time of deeper conversion for our parish, we pray:
That those who are sick may know healing and the friendship of our Lord, especially Manny Guttierez, Bob Miller, and those on our prayer chain, we pray:
For the faithful departed, especially Erma Rosale (wife of Marcelo Ademar), Harvey Tesch (father of Dennis Tesch) and Clint Peterson (husband of Judy Peterson), that they may enjoy eternal life with Christ, we pray:
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you Sacramentally, come at least
spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
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 Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from thee.
From the malignant enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee,
That with all Thy saints,
I may praise thee
Forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the 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,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
