***Prayer to the Holy Spirit***
by Saint Antiochus
O Holy Spirit, 
most merciful Comforter: 
You proceed from the Father 
in a manner beyond our understanding. 
Come, I beseech You, 
and take up your abode in my heart. 
Purify and cleanse me from all sin, 
and sanctify my soul. 
Cleanse it from every impurity, 
water its dryness, 
melt its coldness, 
and save it from its sinful ways. 
Make me truly humble and resigned, 
that I may be pleasing to You, 
and that You might abide with me forever. 
Most Blessed Light, 
most Amiable Light, 
enlighten me. 
O Rapturous Joy of Paradise, 
Fount of Purest Delight, 
My God, give yourself to me 
and kindle in my innermost soul the fire of Your love. 
My Lord, instruct, direct, 
and defend me in all things. 
Give me strength against all immoderate fears 
and against despondency. 
Bestow upon me a true faith, 
a firm hope, 
and a sincere and a perfect love. 
Grant that I always do Your Most Gracious Will. 
Amen. 
 
***Prayer for All Virtues***

O Almighty and all-knowing God, 
without beginning or end, 
who art the giver, preserver, and rewarder of all virtue:
 
Grant me to stand firm on the solid foundation of faith, 
be protected by the invincible shield of hope, 
and be adorned by the nuptial garment of charity;
 
Grant me by justice to obey thee,
by prudence to resist the crafts of the Devil,
by temperance to hold to moderation,
by fortitude to bear adversity with patience;
 
Grant that the goods that I have I may share liberally 
with those who have not,
and the good that I do not have I may seek with humility 
from those who have;
 
Grant that I may truly recognize the guilt of the evil I have done,
and bear with equanimity the punishments I have deserved; 
that I may never lust after the goods of my neighbour, 
but always give thanks to thee for all thy good gifts...
 
Plant in me, O Lord, all thy virtues, 
that in divine matters I might be devout, 
in human affairs wise, 
and in the proper needs of the flesh onerous to no one...
 
And grant that I may never rush to do things hastily,
nor balk to do things demanding,
so that I neither yearn for things too soon,
nor desert things before they are finished.
Amen.

I need your prayers that he can be with family on earth for more years, as he feels his duties as father to my bother is not completed (brother still a teenager), I pray for the intercession of our Mother Mary and St. Barbara,his patron saint that my father’s health improve.

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed by 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

Divine Mercy Chaplet

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

I send prayers heavenward. . . . A prayer of apology and thanksgiving to get the “thank You” in just in case the thread gets closed. . . .

**Prayer for Healing **

Lord Jesus, Most Artistic Physician of all times,
Who created each of us so intricately unique that
. . . . .even each of our faces, having only two eyes,
. . . . .a nose, and mouth, is totally different.
Your Divinity, Lord, did not require any human doctorates.
You gently and eagerly resurrected the dead,
You healed the sick
Be it from physical or spiritual suffering,
Nothing was an obstacle to You, Lord:
For Your power and love are omnipotent.
Lord, because You never change,
We ask for Your tender healing love;
Please guide the human doctors who care for Melchor;
Give the needed graces to the family;
Keep Melchor’s body and soul vigorous
So that he may fulfill his daily duties.
And Lord, if we forget to thank You later on when
. . . . .all is well, please accept part of our
. . . . .thank You now and forgive us if this “thank You”
. . . . .is in any way a cop-out and
. . . . .offensive to Your Loving Heart.
We ask this in Jesus’ Sweet Name if it is for the most glory
. . . . .of God and the salvation of his soul.
Amen. …by Luz María

Act of Hope and Confidence in God
St. Claude de la Colombiere

My God,
I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You,
and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things.
Therefore I am resolved for the future…to cast all my cares upon You.
People may deprive me of worldly goods and status.
Sickness may take from me my strength and the means of serving You.
I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin, but my trust shall never leave me.
I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall seek
…… in vain to grab it from me.
Let others seek happiness in their wealth and in their talents.
Let them trust in the purity of their lives,
the severity of their mortifications,
in the number of their good works,
the enthusiasm of their prayers,
as for me, my Rock and my Refuge, my confidence in you fills me with hope.
For You, my Divine Protector, alone have settled me in hope.
“This confidence can never be vain. No one, who has hoped in God, has
…… ever been confounded.”
I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness,
…… for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in You.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”
I know too well that I am weak and changeable. I know the power of
…… temptation against the strongest virtue.
I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack;
…… these things do not alarm me.
While I hope in You, I am sheltered from all misfortune,
…… and I am sure that my trust shall endure,
…… for I rely upon You to sustain this unfailing hope.
Finally, I know that my confidence cannot exceed Your generosity, and that I
…… shall never receive less than I have hoped for from You.
Therefore I hope that You will sustain me against my evil inclinations,
…… that You will protect me against the deceitful attacks of the evil one,
…… and that You will cause my weakness to triumph over every hostile force.
I hope that You will never cease to love me and that I shall love You unceasingly.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

St Claude de la Colombiere, pray for us!
