A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.
 
A PRAYER
TO JESUS, MY FRIEND
(By Blessed Claude de la Colombiere, S.J.)
Jesus! You are my true Friend, my only Friend.
You take a part in all my misfortunes;
You take them on Yourself;
You know how to change them into blessings;
You listen to me with the greatest kindness when I relate my troubles to You,
and You have always balm to pour on my wounds.
I find You at all times;
I find You everywhere,
You never go away:
if I have to change my dwelling,
I find You there wherever I go.
You are never weary of listening to me,
You are never tired of doing me good.
I am certain of being beloved by You,
if I love You; my goods are nothing to You,
and by bestowing Yours on me, You never grow poor;
however miserable I may be,
no one nobler or cleverer or even holier can come between You and me,
and deprive me of Your friendship;
and death, which tears us away from all other friends,
will unite me forever to You.
All the humiliations attached to old age,
or to the loss of honor,
will never detach You from me;
on the contrary, I shall never enjoy You more fully,
and You will never be closer to me
than when everything seems to conspire against me
to overwhelm me and to cast me down.
You bear with all my faults with extreme patience,
and even my want of fidelity and my ingratitude
do not wound You to such a degree
as to make You unwilling to receive me when I return to You.
O Jesus, grant that I may die praising You,
that I may die loving You,
that I may die for the love of you.

Amen.
 
HELP ME TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LOVE FOR ME
(By Olga de Juana)
You have knowledge of all things, Lord,
In all ways great and small.
You show me that You love me.
When I enjoy a beautiful flower,
When I am refreshed and nourished,
When I hear wonderful music,
When I see amazing art,
Help me to recognize Your love for me, in these things.

When I am injured and then healed,
When I am weak and then become strong,
When I think I’ll never love again
And then I find an even greater love,
When I am faced with adversity and then I triumph,
When I am lost and some how find my way,
When I forget something important and suddenly remember,
Help me to recognize Your love for me, in these things.

When I am lost in grief,
Thinking that I shall never think of my loved one and smile again.
You know exactly the right time and thought to place within me,
To make me smile again.
When I drift from You into a cloud of spiritual darkness,
Spiraling down and then you lift me up,
Help me to recognize your love for me, in these things.

When I think about all the great and small ways
That You showed how you loved me,
I’m sure it’s important to you Lord.
So please, Lord, help me to recognize Your love for me.
 
PRAYER FOR
ANGELIC ASSISTANCE
Lord Almighty, Creator of all life,
Thank You for creating the angels.
As dedicated and faithful servants,
They instantly act upon Your commands.
Please direct Your angels to assist me,
Ensuring the accomplishment of Your work,
In accordance with Your Divine will.
Always rekindle my mind to remember
That Your angels are available to me
As restrainers of diabolic obstacles.
Thank You Lord for Your auspice!
Your kindness is infinitely good!
Amen
 
Do not look forward to what may happen
tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares
for you today will take care of you tomorrow and
every day. Either He will shield you from suffering,
or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and
imaginations, and say continually: “The Lord is my
strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him
and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me,
and I in Him.”

St. Francis de Sales

I Said a Prayer for You Today
Code: 
        I said a prayer for you today
        And know God must have heard.
        I felt the answer in my heart
        Although he spoke no word!

        I didn't ask for wealth or fame
        (I knew you wouldn't mind).
        I asked him to send treasures
        Of a far more lasting kind!

        I asked that he be near you
        At the start of each new day;
        To grant you health and blessings
        And friends to share your way!

        I asked for happiness for you
        In all things great and small.
        But it was for his loving care
        I prayed the most of all!
 
Jesus, Help Me Prayer

In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying:
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities and temptations:
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments, troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Your grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Your tender Love as a Father and Savior:
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!

When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind:
Jesus, help me and never forsake me. - Amen

Thank you Dear friend for this prayer. It is very encouraging. St. Francis de Sales was the name of the Parish I grew up in and the school I attended. That means even more to me. I am trying to be patient through this most difficult wait. God Bless you dear one and your family.
 
Dear friend you are always in my thoughts and prayers

Prayers for Hope and Comfort
Prayer Attributed to St. Augustine
Watch, dear Lord, with those who wake or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ, rest your weary ones, bless your dying ones, soothe your suffering ones, shield your joyous ones, and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
God has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.
Amen.
(St. Teresa of Ávila)

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safe-guard 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, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.” Philippians 4:6

Dear St. Anthony, you became a Franciscan with the hope of shedding your blood for Christ. In God’s plan for you, your thirst for martyrdom was never to be satisfied. St. Anthony, Martyr of Desire, pray that I may become less afraid to stand up and be counted as a follower of the Lord Jesus. Intercede also for my other intentions. (For the good positive outcome of Sambfive’s personal special intention.)
 
For Special Intentions
Almighty and loving Father, I thank you for giving St. Gerard to us as a most appealing model and powerful friend. By his example, he showed us how to love and trust you. You have showered many blessings on those who call upon him. For your greater glory and my welfare, please grant me the favors which I ask in his name.

(For the special intention of our friend known to You)

And you, my powerful patron, intercede for me before the throne of God. Draw near to that throne and do not leave it until you have been heard. O good saint, to you I address my feverent prayers; graciously accept them and let me experience in some way the effects of your powerful intercession. Amen.
 
Hello,

I have been in so much spiritual pain the last two days. I try not to speak about it, but I thought since this is where I let my intention be known, I can let my pain be known here as well. Thank you dearest, dearest friend, TB

Thanks to all who have sent up prayer for me, I need it more than ever. My heart is heavy.

PRAYER OF ST. MELANIA THE YOUNGER
For pardon Of Faults
I have consecrated my entire self to You,
and taking me by Your right hand
You have led me with Your counsel.
But in my human frailty
I have sinned both in word and deed may times against You,
who alone are pure and without sin.
Therefore, accept my prayer together
with the tears I offer You through Your holy ones,
the victors in the arena.
Purify me, this poor handmaid of Yours,
so that on departing toward You
my passage may be hastened.
 
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.
 
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.
