Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilitie s that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

THE PRAYER OF SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS

THANKSGIVING AFTER MASS

Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You, for
even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not
because of my worth but in the kindness of your mercy,
You have fed me with the Precious Body & Blood of Your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me
condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation.
May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will.
May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions.
May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience,
and growth in the power to do good.
May it be my strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses,
bodily and spiritual.
May it unite me more closely to you, the One true God, and lead me
safely through death to everlasting happiness with You.
And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where you,
with Your Son and holy Spirit, are true and perfect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect
happiness to your saints. grant this through Christ our Lord,
AMEN.

St. Francis of Assisi Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace,
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to
comfort than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

Saint Francis was born in Assisi, Italy in 1182. He lived and preached a life of poverty and love of God to all men. He founded the religious Order of the Franciscans; with St. Clare, he founded the Order of the Poor Clares; and the Third Order for lay people. He died in 1226

Consecration to Mary

O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves to thine Immaculate Heart.


We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life; all that we have, all that we love, all that we are. To thee we give our bodies, our hearts and our souls; to thee we give our homes, our families, our country.
We desire that all that is in us and around us may belong to thee, and may share in the benefits of thy motherly benediction. And that this act of consecration may be truly efficacious and lasting, we renew this day at thy feet the promises of our Baptism and our first Holy Communion.

We pledge ourselves to profess courageously and at all times the truths of our holy Faith, and to live as befits Catholics who are duly submissive to all the directions of the Pope and the Bishops in communion with him.
We pledge ourselves to keep the commandments of God and His Church, in particular to keep holy the Lord's Day.
We likewise pledge ourselves to make the consoling practices of the Christian religion, and above all, Holy Communion, an integral part of our lives, in so far as we shall be able so to do.

Finally, we promise thee, O glorious Mother of God and loving Mother of men, to devote ourselves whole-heartedly to the service of thy blessed cult, in order to hasten and assure, through the sovereignty of thine Immaculate Heart, the coming of the kingdom of the Sacred Heart of thine adorable Son, in our own hearts and in those of all men, in our country and in all the world, as in heaven. so on earth. Amen.

Panalangin Kay San Agustin

PANALANGIN KAY SAN AGUSTIN

O San Agustin, pinili ka nang Amang Lumikha upang maging Guro ng pag-ibig, ilaw ng mga mangangaral at mag-aaral, Pantas ng Simbahan, haligi ng Santa Iglesia, tagapagtanggol ng pananampalatayang Kristiyano at kalasag laban sa mga kaaway. Hayaan mong matularan ko ang iyong halimbawa ng pagbabalik-loob sa Diyos upang ako rin ay makatamasa ng matuwid na landas tungo sa kaginhawahang walang katapusan upang ang puso ko ay pamahayan ng Banal na Santatlo.

Ipanalangin mo ako, patron kong San Agustin, upang ang aking bisyo at mga maling aral na pinaniniwalaan ay aking maituwid sa tulong at awa ni Hesu-Kristo. Tulad ng iyong nasumpungan sa sulat ni San Pablo sa Bagong Tipan, nawa ay “maiwasan kong malugmok sa lusak ng kamunduhan at kalaswaan; at maisuot ko ang damit ng aking Panginoong Hesu-Kristo.”

Tulungan mo ako, San Agustin, upang manaig sa akin ang karunungan at katalinuhan na biyaya sa akin ng Diyos. Nawa ang mga biyayang ito ay maghatid sa aking buhay nang kabanalan. Papagliwanagan mo ako na umasa sa biyaya ng Espiritu Santo at hindi sa sarili kong kakayahan lamang.

San Agustin, ipanalangin mo ako sa Banal na Santatlong Diyos sa aking kahilingan… (Sandaling tumahimik at isipin ang lahat ng mga kahilingan)

Idinadalangin ko rin ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral, lalung-lalo na ang lahat ng mga kumukuha ng pagsusulit, na sa tulong mo San Agustin mapagpatagumpayan nila ang mga pagsubok na kanilang kinakaharap sa mga katanungang kanilang dapat sagutin. Na ang karunungan at katalinuhan na iyo ring tinaglay ay magsilbi nilang instrumento upang sila ay maliwanagan sa anumang kakaharapin nilang pagsusulit o pagsubok sa buhay.

Nawa’y maisabuhay ko ang halimbawa mo, o aking patrong San Agustin, upang ang aking napapagal na puso ay makasumpong ng kapayapaan at magalak sa pag-ibig ng iisang Diyos. Amen.

San Agustin, haligi ng lakas ng mga mag-aaral, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, ilaw ng mga guro, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, tagapamagitan ng mga kumukuha ng pagsusulit, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, sisidlan ng Banal na Karunungan, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, taga-aliw ng mga nababagabag, ipanalangin mo kami.
