Contrition

Loving Father, at times during my life I have sinned against others, against myself, and against You. I am unworthy to be Your child*. I have offended Your goodness and Your dream of who I really am. I may have denied You the joy of blessings that You wish for me and for others through me. You alone know the entire consequences of my failures.

Yet, Father, Jesus assures us that You joyfully celebrate my return from sin, and run to welcome and reclaim me as Your own. Therefore, with Your grace, I want to value myself as Your child, knowing that all worth and holiness comes from You.

In trust, I will not accuse myself for sins already forgiven and absolved or for temptation if I have not actually sinned. I believe that temptation can be overcome by Your grace, inspiring greater faithfulness to the Gospel and to the Sacraments.

Father, look on those tasks of love and service that I fail to undertake or to complete, and where possible, bring them to completion. Please bring out of my failures, such fruits of these new opportunities enhanced beyond all previous expectation, for from our human betrayal of Your divine plan of Creation though our sins and rebellion, Your mercy wrought the magnificent plan of redemption that reverberates through time and eternity!

In Your mercy, please transform into good all that in weakness or ignorance I may spoil. Please give blessing that is abundant beyond original possibility, to anyone I ever harm or deprive. May I so belong to You, may I be so transformed by Your love, that my faults no longer are sin or offense in Your sight and can foster nothing that impedes Your will.
This, my soul in trusting confidence implores. Lent 1980

A wonderful prayer that we could easily all make our own.

Praying for you and with you.
 
Praying for your intentions …

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!

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.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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.

Dear Jesus, I forgive my enemies. Please forgive me my sins as I forgive them.
I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me.

Jesus, have mercy on the souls in purgatory and the souls on earth.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, We love you, Save souls.
Amen.
 
I forgive all who have ever sinned against me and beg forgiveness for all I have sinned against…
 
Prodigal

Father, like the prodigal son, I squander gifts of my eternal inheritance.
Like him, I spiral into deprivation and alienation.

Yet, Father, the ‘prodigal son’ possessed something that I do not.
He bore memories of his father, of his loving home and of his former comfort.
I have no memories of You, only hearsay and promises, books and teachings.
I have no memories of my heavenly home,
only those of my life upon earth with its pleasures and its sorrows.

Would I, knowing God, have departed from You and our home?
Yet I barely know You and I often depart from You.
In my humiliation, I return to You, still incapable of truly appreciating Your love.

I stumble towards You with little merit in my return.
I carefully formulate my entreaty upon Your mercy, saying, “Father, I am not worthy to be Your child.
Let me be as a hired servant that I may eat, drink, and have shelter,
and that my wounds may heal, and I may live.”

I cannot comprehend the depth of Your parental love for me.
Scripture assures me of Your unconditional love,
yet in my repentance as in my disobedience, I am ignoble still.

Therefore, Father, because of Your nature and in spite of mine, I call upon Your merciful love.
Let me become, and remain, worthy of such a Father 2001
