Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the instruments of His Holy Passion, that Thou mayest put division in the camp of Thine enemies, for as Thy beloved Son hath said, "a kingdom divided against itself shall fail." Pope Pius XII on the importance of making a proper thanksgiving after receiving Holy Communion: [S]hould we not approve of those who, when they receive holy communion, remain on in closest familiarity with their divine Redeemer even after the congregation has been officially dismissed, and that not only for the consolation of conversing with Him, but also to render Him due thanks and praise and especially to ask help to defend their souls against anything that may lessen the efficacy of the sacrament and to do everything in their power to cooperate with the action of Christ who is so intimately present? We exhort them to do so in a special manner by carrying out their resolutions, by exercising the Christian virtues, as also by applying to their own necessities the riches they have received with royal Liberality. The author of that golden book The Imitation of Christ certainly speaks in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the liturgy when he gives the following advice to the person who approaches the altar, "Remain on in secret and take delight in your God; foe He is yours whom the whole world cannot take away from you." |
PrayersHoly Father's Prayer Intentions for January, 2012General Intention: That the victims of natural disasters may receive the spiritual and material comfort they need to rebuild their lives. Missionary Intention: That the dedication of Christians to peace may bear witness to the name of Christ before all men and women of good will. Papal Prayer Intentions for 2012 Prayer for Pope Benedict"Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves. " [Pope Benedict XVI, 24 April, 2005] The Holy Father has come under personal attack on many fronts recently as a result of child abuse allegations in his archdiocese in Germany while he was the archbishop. Many press reports insinuate these incidents involve him personally. Please pray for Pope Benedict and for those who are attempting to undermine his authority and reputation, as well as those of the Church. Also pray for all others involved in these incidents, most especially the children. V. Let us pray for our Pontiff, Pope Benedict. Our Father. Hail Mary. Let us pray. O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant Benedict, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer for GovernmentWe pray, Thee O Almighty and Eternal God! Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.Prayer to St. Joseph in Time of DistressWe come to thee, O blessed Joseph, in our sore distress. Having sought the aid of thy most blessed spouse, we now confidently implore thy assistance also. Prayer After Mass (St. Thomas Aquinas)I give thanks to Thee, holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God, Who hast deigned, through no merit of mine, but through Thy mercy alone, to satisfy me, a sinner, Thine unworthy servant, with the precious Body and Blood of Thy Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. I pray that this Holy Communion may not be to me a cause of punishment, but a saving surety for forgiveness. May it be to me the armor of faith and the shield of good will. May it be the emptying of my vices and the extermination of covetousness and passion; an increase of charity and patience, of humility and obedience, and of all the virtues. May it be a firm defense against the snares of all enemies, visible and invisible; a perfect quieting of my emotions, both fleshly and spiritual; a firm adherence to Thee, the one true God; and a happy completion of the end of my life. I pray Thee, that Thou wouldst deign to lead me, a sinner, to that ineffable banquet, where Thou, together with Thy Son and the Holy Ghost, art to Thy saints true and unfailing light, fullness of contentment, everlasting joy, complete gladness, and perfect happiness. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen Novena to Our Lady of LourdesThe novena to Our Lady of Lourdes is prayed from February 3 to her feast on February 11, inclusive. The prayers can be found on the EWTN web site. Pope Leo XIII's Prayer to St. Michael (original form)GLORIOUS Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and fearful warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits.
