Prayers and Devotions
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all of my sins because of Thy just punishments. But most of all because they offend Thee my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. AMEN.
Saint Michael
Saint Michael the Arch Angel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snarls of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do Thou, O prince of the heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all his evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. AMEN.
Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that thou art one God in three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths that the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. AMEN.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon for my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. AMEN.
Act of Love
O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me and ask the pardon of all whom I have injured. AMEN.
ANIMA CHRISTI
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Your wounds, hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me
And bid me to come to Thee.
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
Forever and ever. AMEN
Daily Offering
O Jesus, through thee Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.
