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.
O my God, Thou who art the God of wisdom and of counsel,
Thou who readest in my heart the sincere will to please Thee alone,
and to govern myself with regard to my choice of a state of life,
entirely in conformity with Thy most holy desire; grant me,
by the intercession of the most blessed Virgin, my Mother,
and of my holy patrons, especially of Saint Joseph and Saint Aloysius,
the grace to know what state I ought to choose, and when to embrace it,
so that in it I may be able to pursue and increase Thy glory,
work out my salvation, and merit that heavenly reward
which Thou hast promised to those who do Thy holy Will. Amen.
My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
I humbly beseech Thee to scatter the darkness of my mind,
and to give me lively faith, firm hope and burning love.
Grant, O my God, that I may know Thee well and may do all things
in Thy light and in conformity to Thy holy will. Amen
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
that I love only what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy.
Guard me so, O Holy Spirit,
that I may always be holy. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among 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.
My Guardian Angel, Thou comest from heaven;
God has sent thee to take care of me.
Oh, shelter me under thy wings.
Lighten my path, direct my steps.
Do not leave me, stay quite near me
and defend me against the spirit of evil.
But above all come to my help
in the last struggle of my life.
Deliver my soul so that with thee
it may praise, love and contemplate
the goodness of God forever and ever. Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
