Clerics Regular Minor Prayers

Prayers to St. Francis Caracciolo
Prayer I
O God, you have manifested your love in the priest
St. Francis Caracciolo by making him an adorer of the Holy
Eucharist, a preacher of your divine love, an apostle to the
poor, the sick, and the sinners.
Grant, we implore you, that we may imitate his love
for Jesus in the Eucharist, and spare no effort to work for the
salvation of our brothers and sisters, always for the greater
glory of the risen Christ.
Through the intercession of St. Francis, we ask you
to inspire many young men and women to follow Christ
totally in the spirit of prayer, penance and zeal for the
building of your kingdom here on earth. Amen.
Prayer II
O God, source of holiness, sustained by a profound
faith and firm hope through the infinite merits of your dead
and risen Son and by the salvific effects of the Eucharistic
bread, you guided Saint Francis Caracciolo on the way of
perfection in humility and in the service of our brothers and
sisters.
Grant to us, that as we venerate him as a model of
consecrated life to your love and to that of our brothers and
sisters, we may possess the same drive to be credible
witnesses through a life regenerated by the Spirit.
Grant that we rediscover the importance to fix our
gaze on the Crucified Christ and the need to resort frequently
8
to the Sacrament of the Eucharist celebrated and worshipped

so that, fortified by your grace, we may become a “Good
Samaritan” to all the brothers and sisters whom we meet on
our way.
Along this path we take the Blessed Virgin Mary by
the hand whom St Francis Caracciolo loved so much and from
whom he experienced her powerful protection. Amen.
Prayer III
By Bruno Forte, Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto
Pray for us, Saint Francis, adorer of God, hunter of
souls!
You did not hesitate to leave everything to belong
completely to Christ, your Lord. Teach us to love interior
silence; teach us fidelity in listening to the Beloved; teach us
perseverance in humbly allowing ourselves to be loved by the
living God.
You, who made yourself all things for all people to
bring to every heart in every way the joy and beauty of the
Gospel, obtain for us burning charity, to make us humble,
luminous witnesses of divine Love in every one of our
decisions, actions and thoughts.
Pray for us, Saint Francis, expert in spending your
days and nights consumed with burning love under the sun of
God! Amen. Alleluia!
Prayer IV
O God, full of goodness and mercy, may the desire
and will to be united together in true fraternity take root and
9
grow in our hearts so that we may welcome all with patient

charity and sweetness.
Grant that, by following the example of Saint Francis

Caracciolo, and by being purified and nourished by the
Eucharist, we may live in profound harmony of spirit and
enjoy the precious gift of your peace. Amen.
Prayer V
1. O glorious Saint Francis, your charity towards God
manifested itself most ardently in your actions and preaching,
from which you were called “the Father, the preacher of
divine love”, beseech the Lord that our hearts may be filled
with divine love so as to be free from attachments to earthly
things.
2. O glorious Saint Francis, for the little esteem you had
of yourself, to the point of considering and calling yourself
“the sinner”, obtain for us from the Lord constant repentance
for our sins and humility of heart and mind.
3. O glorious Saint Francis, you implored through
penances and great sufferings the conversion of sinners, that
you were called “the hunter of souls”, through your
intercession may our souls be converted to God and remain
in your grace.
4. O glorious Saint Francis, through that tender
devotion that you had and infused in others towards the
Virgin Mary, and by whose favor you achieved your purity,
obtain for us the grace to become her devotees and, by living
chastely, to by guided in our work by her Good Counsel.
10
Prayer for the Intercession of Venerable

Augustine Adorno
Lord. Almighty God, by means of the Mother of your

Son, the Blessed Virgin Mary, You inspired Venerable
Augustine Adorno to become the Founder of a new religious
Family in your Church, the Clerics Regular Minor.
Through his intercession, help us to keep our
everyday actions and our apostolic service imbued with the
spirit of prayer and contemplation in order that we may be
true and visible signs of your presence, your love and your
mercy in the world. Amen.
Basic Prayers
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of
heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our
Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and
was born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to
the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will
come again 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
11
The Our Father

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.
The Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed
are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Fatima Prayer

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the
fires of hell. Lead all souls into heaven, especially those in
most need of your mercy.
The Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our
sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious
Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our
exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
12
Memorare
Remember, of most gracious Virgin Mary, that never
was known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession was left
unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto you, O
Virgin of virgins, my mother. To you we come, before you we
stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions but in your mercy hear and answer
us. Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be
our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May
God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of
the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan
and all the other evil spirits who roam about the world
seeking the destruction of souls. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven
and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend The,
my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I
firmly resolve, with the help of grace, to confess my sins, to
do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

16
Stations of the Cross

Opening Prayer
Mary, my Mother, you were the first to live the Way
of the Cross. You felt every pain and every humiliation. You
were unafraid of the ridicule heaped upon you by the crowds.
Your eyes were ever on Jesus and His Pain. Is that the secret
of your miraculous strength? How did your loving heart bear
such a burden and such a weight? As you watched Him
stumble and fall, were you tortured by the memory of all the
yesterdays: His birth, His hidden life, and His ministry?
You were so desirous of everyone loving Him. What
a heartache it was to see so many hate Him - hate with a
diabolical fury. Take my hand as I make this Way of the Cross.
Inspire me with those thoughts that will make me realize how
much He loves me. Give me light to apply each station to my
daily life and to remember my neighbor's needs in this Way
of the Pain.
Obtain for me the grace to understand the mystery,
the wisdom, and the Divine love as I go from scene to scene.
Grant that my heart, like yours, may be pierced through by
the sight of His sorrow and the misery and that I may
determine never to offend Him again. What price He paid to
cover my sins, to open the gates of heaven for me and to fill
my soul with His own Spirit. Sweet Mother, let us travel this
way together and grant the love in my poor heart may give
you some slight consolation.
Amen.
17
The First Station

Jesus is Condemned to Death
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the
world.
Leader: My Jesus, the world still has You on trial. It keeps
asking who You are and why You make the demands You
make. It asks over and over the question, “If You are God's
Son, why do You permit the world to be in the state it is in?
Why are You so silent?”
Though the arrogance of the world angers me, I
must admit that silently, in the depths of my soul, I too have
these questions. Your humility frustrates me and makes me
uncomfortable. Your strength before Pilate as You drank
deeply from the power of the Father gives me the answer to
my question - The Father's Will. The Father permits many
sufferings in my life but it is all for my good. If only I too could
be silent in the face of worldly prudence - steadfast in the
faith when all seems lost - calm when accused unjustly - free
from tyranny of human respect - ready to do the Father's
Will, no matter how difficult.
Silent Jesus, give us all the graces we need to stand
tall in the face of the ridicule of the world. Give the poor the
strength not to succumb to their privation but to be ever
aware of their dignity as sons of God. Grant that we might not
bend to the crippling disease of worldly glory but be willing to
be deprived of all things rather than lose Your friendship. My
Jesus, though we are accused daily of being fools, let the
vision of Quiet Dignity standing before Monstrous Injustice,
give us all the courage to be Your followers.
18
All: Amen.
The Second Station

Jesus Carries His Cross

world.
Leader: How could any human impose such a burden upon
your torn and bleeding body, Lord Jesus? Each movement of
the cross drove the thorns deeper into Your Head. How did
You keep the hatred from welling up in Your Heart? How did
the injustice of it all not ruffle your peace? The Father's Will
was hard on You - Why do I complain when it is hard on me?
I see injustice and am frustrated and when my plans
to alleviate it seems futile, I despair. When I see those
burdened with poverty suffer ever more and cross is added to
cross, my heart is far from serene. I utterly fail to see the
dignity of the cross as it is carried with love. I would so much
rather be without it.
My worldly concept is that suffering, like food,
should be shared equally. How ridiculous I am, dear Lord. Just
as we do not all need the same amount of material food,
neither do we need the same amount of spiritual food and
that is what the cross is in my life, isn't it - spiritual food
proportional to my needs.
All: Amen.
19
The Third Station

Jesus Falls the First Time

world.
Leader: My Jesus, it seems to me, that as God, You would
have carried Your cross without faltering, but You did not.
You fell beneath its weight to show me You understand when
I fall. Is It pride that makes me want to shine even in pain?
You were not ashamed to fall - to admit the cross was heavy.
There are those in the world whom my pride will not tolerate
as I expect everyone to be strong, yet I am weak. I am
ashamed to admit failure in anything.
If the Father permits failure in my life just as He
permitted You to fall, then I must know there is good in that
failure which my mind will never comprehend. I must not
concentrate on the eyes of others as they rest upon me in my
falls. Rather, I must reach up to touch that invisible hand and
drink in that invisible strength ever at my side.
Weak Jesus, help all men who try so hard to be good
but whose nature is constantly opposed to them walking
straight and tall down the narrow road of life. Raise their
heads to see the glory that is to come rather than the misery
of the present moment.
Your love for me gave You strength to rise from Your
fall. Look upon all those whom the world considers
unprofitable servants and give them the courage to be more
concerned as to how they stand before You, rather than their
fellowmen.
All: Amen.
20
The Fourth Station

Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we Bless you.

world.
Leader: My Jesus, it was a great sorrow to realize Your pain
caused Mary so much grief. As Redeemer, You wanted her to
share in Your pain for mankind. When You glanced at each
other in unutterable suffering, what gave you both the
courage to carry on without the least alleviation - without
anger at such injustice?
It seems as if you desired to suffer every possible
pain to give me an example of how to suffer when my time
comes. What a humiliation for You when Your mother saw
you in such a pitiable state - weak - helpless - at the mercy of
sinful men - holiness exposed to evil in all hideousness.
Did every moment of that short encounter seem like
an eternity? As I see so much suffering in the world, there are
times I think all is hopeless. There is an element of lethargy in
my prayers for mankind that says. "I'll pray, but what good
will it do? The sick grow sicker and the hungry starve." I think
of that glance between You and Mary - the glance that said,
"Let us give this misery to the father for the salvation of souls.
The Father's power takes our pain and frustration and renews
souls, saves them for a new life - a life of eternal joy, eternal
happiness. It is worth it all." Give perseverance to the sick so
they can carry the cross of frustration and agony with love
and resignation for the salvation of others. All: Amen.
21
22
The Fifth Station

Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross

world.
Leader: My, Jesus, Your tormentors enlisted a Simon of
Cyrene to help You carry Your cross. Your humility is beyond
my comprehension. Your power upheld the whole universe
and yet You permit one of Your creatures to help You carry a
cross. I imagine Simon was reluctant to take part in Your
shame. He had no idea that all who watched and jeered at
him would pass into oblivion while his name would go down
in history and eternity as the one who helped his God in
need. Is it not so with me, dear Jesus? Even when I reluctantly
carry my cross as Simon did, it benefits my soul.
If I keep my eyes on You and watch how You
suffered, I will be able to bear my cross with greater
fortitude. Were you trying to tell all those who suffer from
prejudice to have courage? Was Simon a symbol of all those
who are hated because of race, color, and creed?
Simon wondered as he took those beams upon his
shoulders, why he was chosen for such a heavy burden and
now he knows. Help me Jesus, to trust your loving Providence
as you permit suffering to weave itself in and out of my life.
Make me understand that You watch and give me strength
just as You did Simon. When I enter Your Kingdom, I shall
know as he knows. What marvels Your Cross has wrought in
my soul!
All: Amen.
23
24
The Sixth Station

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

world.
Leader: My Jesus, where were all the hundreds of peoples
whose bodies and souls were healed by you? Where were
they when You needed someone to give You the least sign of
comfort? Ingratitude must have borne down upon Your heart
and made the cross nearly impossible to carry. There are
times I too feel all my efforts for Your Kingdom are futile and
end in nothingness. Did your eyes roam through the crowd
for the comfort of just one individual - one sign of pity - one
sign of grief?
My heart thrills with a sad joy when I think of one
woman, breaking away from fear and human respect and
offering You her thin veil to wipe Your bleeding Face. Your
loving heart, ever watching for the least sign of love,
imprinted the Image of your torn Face upon it! How can You
forget Yourself so completely and reward such a small act of
kindness?
I must admit, I have been among those who were
afraid to know You rather like Veronica. She did not care if
the whole world knew she loved You. Heartbroken Jesus, give
me that quality of the soul necessary to witness to spread
Your Word - to tell all people of Your love for them. Send
many into Your Vineyard so the people of all nations may
receive the Good News. Imprint Your Divine Image upon my
25
soul and let the thin veil of my human nature bear a perfect
resemblance to your loving Spirit.
All: Amen.
26
The Seventh Station

Jesus Falls a Second Time

world.
Leader: My Jesus, one of the beautiful qualities the people
admired in You was Your strength in time of ridicule - Your
ability to rise above the occasion. But now, You fall a second
time - apparently conquered by the pain of the Cross. People
who judged You by appearances made a terrible mistake.
What looked like weakness was unparalleled strength!
I often judge by appearances and how wrong I am
most of the time. The world judges entirely by this fraudulent
method of discerning. It looks down upon those who
apparently have given their best and are now in need. It
judges the poor as failures, the sick as useless and the aged as
a burden. How wrong that kind of judgement is in the light of
your second fall! Your greatest moment was Your weakest
one. Your greatest triumph was in failure. Your greatest act of
love was in desolation. Your greatest show of power was in
that utter lack of strength that threw You to the ground.
Weak and powerful Jesus, give me the grace to see
beyond what is visible and be more aware of Your Wisdom in
the midst of weakness. Give the aged, sick, handicapped,
retarded, deaf, and blind the fruit of joy so they may ever be
aware of the Father's gift and the vast differences between
what the world sees and what the Father sees that they may
glorified in their weakness so the power of God may be
manifest.
27
All: Amen.
The Eighth Station
Jesus Speaks to the Holy Women

world.
Leader: My Jesus, I am amazed at Your compassion for others
in Your time of need. When I suffer I have a tendency to think
only of myself but You forgot Yourself completely. When You
saw the holy women weeping over Your torments, You
consoled them and taught them to look deeper into Your
Passion. You wanted them to understand that the real evil to
cry over was the rejection You suffered from the Chosen
people - a people set apart from every other nation, who
refused to accept God's Son.
The Act of redemption would go on and no one
would ever be able to take away Your dignity as Son of God,
but the evil, greed, jealousy, and ambition in the hearts of
those who should have recognized You was the issue to
grieve over. To be so close to God made man and miss Him
completely was the real crime.
My Jesus, I fear I do the same when I strain gnats
and swallow camels - when I take out the splinter in my
brother's eye and forget the beam in my own. It is such a gift
- this gift of faith. It is such a sublime grace to possess Your
own Spirit. Why haven't I advanced in holiness of life? I miss
the many disguises you take upon Yourself and see only
people, circumstances, and human events, not the loving
hand of the Father guiding all things. Help all those who are
28
discouraged, sick, lonely, and old to recognize Your presence

in their midst.
All: Amen.
29
The Ninth Station

Jesus Falls the Third Time

world.
Leader: My Jesus, even with the help of Simon You fell a third
time. Were You telling me that there may be times in my life
that I will fall again and again despite the help of friends and
loved ones? There are times when the crosses You permit in
my life are more than I can bear. It is as if all the sufferings of
a life time are suddenly compressed into the present moment
and it is more than I can stand.
Though it grieves my heart to see You so weak and
helpless, it is a comfort to my soul to know that you
understand my sufferings from our own experience. Your love
for me made You want to experience every kind of pain just
so I could have someone to look to for example and courage.
When I cry out from the depths of my soul, "This
suffering is more than I can bear," do You whisper, "Yes, I
understand"? When I am discouraged after many falls, do you
say in my most innermost being, "keep going, I know how
hard it is to rise"?
There are many people who are sorely tried in body
and soul with alcohol and drug weaknesses who try and try
and fall again and again. Through the humiliation of his third
fall, give them courage and perseverance to take up their
crosses and follow you.
All: Amen.
30
The Tenth Station

Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

world.
Leader: It seems that every step to Calvary brought You fresh
humiliation, my Jesus. How Your sensitive nature recoiled at
being stripped before a crowd of people. You desired to leave
this life as You entered it - completely detached from all the
comforts of this world. You want me to know without a doubt
that you loved me with an unselfish love. Your love for me
caused You nothing but pain and sorrow. You gave everything
and received nothing in return. Why do I find it so hard to be
detached?
In Your loving mind, dear Jesus, did You look up to
the Father as You stood there on that windy hill, shivering
from cold and shame and trembling from fear, and ask Him to
have mercy on those who would violate their purity and
make a mockery? Did you ask forgiveness for those whose
greed would make them lie, cheat, and steal for a few pieces
of cold silver?
Forgive us all, dear Jesus. Look upon the world with
pity, for mankind has lost its way and the principles of this
world make lust a fun game and luxury a necessity.
Detachment has become merely another hardship of the
poor and obedience the fault of the weak. Have mercy on us
and grant the people of this day the courage to see and know
themselves and the light to change.
All: Amen.
31
32
The Eleventh Station

Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

world.
Leader: Is it hard to imagine a God being nailed to a cross by
His own creatures. It is even more difficult for my mind to
understand a love that permitted such a thing to happen! As
those men drove heavy nails into Your hands and feet, dear
Jesus, did You offer the pain as preparation for some
particular human weakness and sin? Was the nail in Your
right hand for those who spent their lives in dissipation and
boredom?
Was the nail in Your left hand in reparation for all
consecrated souls who live lukewarm lives? Were You
stretching out Your arms to show us how much You love us?
As the feet that walked the hot dusty roads were nailed fast,
did they cramp up in a deadly grip of pain to make reparation
for all those who so nimbly run the broad road of sin and self-
indulgence?
It seems, dear Jesus, Your love has held You bound
hand and foot as Your heart pleads for a return of love. You
seem to shout from the top of the hill "I love you - come to
me - see, I am held fast - I cannot hurt you - only you can hurt
Me." How very hard is the heart that can see such love and
turn away. Is it not true I too have turned away when I did
not accept the Father's Will with love? Teach me to keep my
arms ever open to love, to forgive and to render service -
33
willing to be hurt rather than hurt, satisfied to love and not

be loved in return.
All: Amen.
The Twelfth Station
Jesus Dies on the Cross

world.
Leader: God is dead! No wonder the earth quaked, the sun
hid itself, the dead rose and Mary stood by in horror. Your
human body gave up its soul in death but Your Divinity, dear
Jesus, continued to manifest its power. All creation rebelled
as the Word made Flesh departed from this world. Man alone
was too proud to see and too stubborn to acknowledge truth.
Redemption was accomplished! Man would never
have an excuse to forget how much You loved him. The thief
on Your right saw something he could not explain - he saw a
man on a tree and knew He was God. His need made him see
his own guilt and Your innocence. The Promise of eternal life
made the remaining hours of his torture endurable.
A common thief responded to Your love with deep
Faith, Hope, and Love. He saw more than his eyes envisioned
- he felt a Presence he could not explain and would not argue
with. He was in need and accepted the way God designed to
help him.
Forgive our pride, dear Jesus as we spend hours
speculating, days arguing, and often a lifetime in rejecting
Your death, which is a sublime mystery. Have pity on those
whose intelligence leads them to pride because they never
34
feel the need to reach out to the Man of Sorrows for

consolation
All: Amen
35
The Thirteenth Station

Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we Bless you.

world.
Leader: My Jesus, it was with deep grief that Mary finally
took You into her arms and saw all the wounds sin had
inflicted upon You. Mary Magdalene looked upon Your dead
Body with horror. Nicodemus, the man so full of human
respect, who came to You by night, suddenly received the
courage to help Joseph take you down from the Cross. You
are once more surrounded by only a few followers.
When loneliness and failure cross my path, let me
think of this lonely moment and this total failure - failure in
the eyes of men. How wrong they were - how mistaken their
concept of success! The greatest act of love was given in
desolation and the most successful mission accomplished and
finished when all seemed lost. Is this not true in my life, dear
Jesus? I judge my failures harshly. I demand perfection
instead of holiness. My idea of success is for all to end well -
according to my liking.
Give to all men the grace to see that doing Your will
is more important than success. If failure is permitted for my
greater good, then teach me how to use it to my advantage.
Let me say as You once said, that to do the Will of the Father
is my food. Let not the standards of this world take
possession of me or destroy the good You have set for me - to
be Holy and to accomplish the Father's Will with great love.
Let me accept praise or blame, success or failure with equal
serenity.

All: Amen.

Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher

world.
Leader: My Jesus, You were laid to rest in a stranger's tomb.
You were born with nothing of this world's goods and You
died detached from everything. When You came into the
world, men slept and angels sang and now as You leave it,
Creation is silent and only a few weep. Both events were
clothed in obscurity. The majority of men live in such a way.
Most of us live and die knowing and known by only a few.
Were You trying to tell us, dear Jesus, how very important our
lives are just because we are accomplishing the Father's Will?
Will we ever learn the lesson of humility that makes us
content with who we are, where we are, and what we are?
Will our Faith ever be strong enough to see power in
weakness and good in the suffering of our lives? Will our
Hope be trusting enough to rely on Your Providence even
when we have nowhere to lay our head? Will our Love ever
be strong enough not to take scandal in the cross?
My Jesus, hide my soul in Your heart as You lie in the
Sepulcher alone. Let my heart be as a fire to keep you warm.
Let my desire to know and love You be like a torch to light up
the darkness. Let my soul sing softly a hymn of repentant love
as the hours pass and Your Resurrection is at hand. Let me
rejoice, dear Jesus, with all the Angels in a hymn of praise and
37
thanksgiving for so great a love - so great a God - so great a

day!
All: Amen.
38
Closing Prayer
My Jesus, I have traveled Your Way of the cross. It
seems so real and I feel so ashamed. I complain of my
sufferings and find obedience to the Father's Will difficult. My
mind is bogged down by the poverty, sickness, starvation,
greed, and hatred in the world. There are many innocent
people who suffer so unjustly. There are those born with
physical and mental defects. Do we understand that You
continue to carry Your cross in the minds and bodies of each
human being?
Help me to see the Father's Will in every incident of
my daily life. This is what You did - you saw the Father's will in
Your persecutors, Your enemies, and Your pain. You saw
beauty in the cross and embraced it as a desired treasure. My
worldly mind is dulled by injustice and suffering and I lose
sight of the glory that is to come. Help me to trust the Father
and to realize that there is something great behind the most
insignificant suffering. There is someone lifting my cross to fit
my shoulders - there is Divine Wisdom in all the petty
annoyances that irk my soul every day.
Teach me the lessons contained in my Cross, the
wisdom of its necessity, the beauty of its variety, and the
fortitude that accompanies even the smallest cross. Mary, My
Mother, obtain for me the grace to be Jesus to my neighbor
and to see my neighbor in Jesus. Amen.

Ngunit isinama niya si Pedro at ang dalawang anak ni
Zebedeo. At nagsimulang mabagabag at maghirap ang
kanyang kalooban. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ang puso ko’y tigib
ng hapis na halos ikamatay ko! Maghintay kayo rito at
makipagpuyat sa akin!” Pagkalayo nang kaunti, nagpatirapa
siya at nanalangin: “Ama ko, kung maaari’y ilayo mo sa akin
ang saro ng paghihirap na ito. Gayunman, huwag ang
kalooban ko kundi ang kalooban mo ang mangyari.”
Nagbalik siya at dinatnan niyang natutulog ang

makapagpuyat na kasama ko kahit isang oras lamang?
Magpuyat kayo at manalangin upang huwag kayong madaig

Muli siyang lumayo at nanalangin: “Ama ko, kung

Mula sa bahay ni Caifas, si Jesus ay dinala nila sa
palasyo ng gobernador. Umaga na noon. Hindi pumasok ang
mga Judio sa palasyo ng gobernador upang sila’y huwag
maituring na di-karapat-dapat kumain ng Hapunang
Pampaskuwa. Kaya’t sa labas sila tinanggap ni Pilato at
tinanong, “Ano ang sakdal ninyo laban sa taong ito?”
Sumagot sila, “Kung hindi po siya gumawa ng masama, hindi
namin siya dadalhin sa inyo.” Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato,
45
“Dalhin ninyo siya, at hatulan ayon sa inyong kautusan.”

Sumagot ang mga Judio, “Wala po kaming kapangyarihan
humatol ng kamatayan kaninuman.” (Nangyari ito upang
matupad ang sinabi ni Jesus tungkol sa paraan ng kanyang
pagkamatay.)
Si Pilato’y pumasok uli sa palasyo at tinawag si Jesus.
“Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?” tanong niya. Sumagot si
Jesus, “Iyan ba’y galling sa inyong sariling isipan, o may
nagsabi sa inyo?” “Ako ba’y Judio?” tanong ni Pilato. “Ang
mga kababayan mo at ang mga punong saserdote ang
nagdala sa iyo rito. Ano ba ang ginawa mo?”
Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang kaharian ko’y hindi sa
sanlibutang ito. Kung sa sanlibutang ito ang aking kaharian,
ipinakipaglaban sana ako ng aking mga tauhan at hindi
naipagkanulo sa mga Judo. Ngunit hindi sa sanlibutang ito ang
aking kaharian!” “Kung gayon, isa kang hari?” sabi ni Pilato.
Sumagot si Jesus, “Kayo na ang nagsasabing ako’y hari. Ito
ang dahilan kung bakit ako ipinanganak at naparito sa
sanlibutan: upag magsalita tungkol sa katotohanan. Nakikinig
sa aking tinig ang sinumag nasa katotohanan.” “Ano ba ang
katotohanan?” tanong ni Pilato.
Pagkasabi nito, muling lumabas si Pilato at sinabi sa
mga Judio, “Wala akong makitang kasalanan sa taong ito.
Ngunit ayon sa inyong kaugalian, dapat akong magpalaya ng
isang bilanggo kung araw ng Paskuwa. Ibig ba ninyong
palayain ko ang Hari ng mga Judio?” “Hindi!” sigaw nila.
“Huwag siya, kundi si Barrabas!” (Si Barrabas ay isang tulisan.)

Naligaw ka ba ng landas patungong Langit? Kung
gayon tumawag ka kay Maria, dahilan sa ang kanyang
pangalan ay nangangahulugang “Tala ng Karagatan,” “Tala ng
Hilaga,” na gumagabay sa paglalayag ng ating kaluluwa sa
buhay na ito at siya ang magdadala sa iyo sa daungan ng
buhay na walang hanggan.

maisabuhay Ang Kawanggawang Pangkaluluwa: Aliwin ang
mga Tumatangis

namin. Mula sa krus, inihabilin mo ang iyong Mahal na Ina sa
iyong pinakamamahal na apostol na si San Juan.
Nagpapasalamat kami sa iyo at sa Ama sa pagkakaroon namin
ng Mahal na Ina naming nasa langit na gumagabay sa amin
dito sa lupa. Ipagkaloob mong maipakilala namin ang
mapagmahal at mapagkalingang Mahal na Birheng Maria sa
lahat ng mga tao upang sila rin ay makaalam na may
gumagabay sa kanila at kumakalinga sa lahat ng pagkakataon
lalo a sa sandali ng pagdadalamhati at kalungkutan. Amen.
ANG IKALABINDALAWANG ISTASYON:

SI JESUS AY NAMATAY SA KRUS
60

Jesukristo.

(Jn 19:28-30)
Pagkatapos nito, alam ni Jesus na naganap na ang
lahat ng bagay; at bilang katuparan ng Kasulatan ay sinabi
niya, “Nauuhaw ako!” May isang mangkok doon na puno ng
maasim na alak. Itinubog nila rito ang espongha, ikinabit sa
sanga ng isopo at idiniit sa kanyang bibig. Nang masipsip ni
Jesus ang alak ay kanyang sinabi, “Naganap na!” Iniyukayok
niya ang kanyang ulo at nalagot ang kanyang hininga.

Asis
Nararapat na magsaya tayo sa mga sandaling
hinaharap natin ang mga pagsubok at hamon sa ating
kaluluwa at katawan at iba pang tiisin sa mundog ito alang-
alang sa buhay na walang hanggan.
Panginoon at Diyos ko, pinasasalamatan kita sa lahat
ng aking mga pasanin; kung ito’y ayon sa iyon kalooban
paramihin mo pa ang mga ito. Pasasalamatan kita sa
anumang pagsubok na iyong ibibigay; ito’y dahil sa pagtalima
61
sa iyong kalooban lamang nagmumula ang aking ganap na

kapayapaan.

maisabuhay natin Ang kawang-gawang Pangkatawan:
Pagtiisan ang mga Pagkakamali
Lahat: O Panginoong Jesukristo, sinasamba at ni-luluwalhati

ka namin. Ikaw ang bukal ng awa at habag ng Diyos sa
sanlibutan. Itinuturing mong mapapalad at tunay na mga
anak ng Diyos ang mga taong nagpupunyagi para sa
kapayapaan. Ipagkaloob mo na matularan namin ang iyong
kababaang-loob at kalinisan ng puso upang kami’y maging
kasangkapan ng paghahari ng iyong pagpapatawad at
kapayapaan dito sa lupa. Amen.
ANG IKALABINTATLONG ISTASYON:

SI JESUS AY INILIBING

Jesukristo.

(Jn 19:38b-42)
62
Si Jose na taga-Arimatea ay nagsadya kay Pilato

upang humingi ng pahintulot na makuha ang bangkay ni
Jesus. (Si Jose’y isang alagad ni Jesus, ngunit palihim nga
lamang dahil sa takot sa mga Judio.) At pinahintulutan siya ni
Pilato; kaya’t kinuha ni Jose ang bangkay ni Jesus. Sumama sa
kanya si Nicodemo, may dalang pabango – mga 100 libra ng
pinaghalong mira at aloe. (Siya ang nagsadya kay Jesus isang
gabi.) Kinuha nila ang bangkay ni Jesus, at nilagyan ng
pabango habang binabalot sa kayong lino, ayon sa kaugalian
ng mga Judio. Sa pinagpakuan kay Jesus ay may isang bagong
libingang hindi pa napaglilibingan. Yamang noo’y araw ng
Paghahanda ng mga Judio, at dahil sa malapit naman ang
libingang ito, doon nila inilibing si Jesus.

ang pagninilay.)
Namumuno: Pagninilay mula sa isinulat ni Santa Faustina

Kung ang isang kaluluwa’y tunay na nagmamahal sa
Diyos at may napakalapit na ugnayan sa Kanya, hindi
magiging balakid para sa kanyang buhay espiritwal ang
anumang mga pagsubok kahit na ang pinakamamabigat na
hamon sa buhay. Kahit na sa gitna at sandali ng matinding
paghamon ng kamunduhan, mananatili ang kaluluwang ito na
malinis at walang bahid dahilan sa ang dakilang pag-ibig ng
Diyos ang nagbibigay lakas sa pagkikipaglaban, at ang Diyos
ang nagbibigay ng pagsasanggalang sa kaluluwang ito sa
natatanging paraan.

63

Patawarin ang lahat ng Pamiminsala

namin. Pinasasalamatan ka namin sa biyaya ng iyong
kapatawaran na sumasaamin sa Sakramento ng Pagbabalik-
loob. Ipinakita mo sa amin ang mukha ng maawaing Ama sa
langit. Ipagkaloob mong patuloy kaming makalapit sa iyo sa
Sakramento ng Kumpisal at makatanggap ng pagpapagaling
sa aming mga puso at kaluluwa at magawa rin naming
magpatawad sa kapwang nagkait sa amin ng kalinga at
pagmamahal. Amen.
ANG IKALABING-APAT NA ISTASYON:

SI JESUS AY MULING NABUHAY
Lahat: Sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng iyon Mahal na Krus,


(Jn 20:1-10)
Madilim-dilim pa nang araw ng Linggo, naparoon na
si Maria Magdalena sa libingan. Naratnan niyang naalis na
ang batong panakip sa pinto ng libingan. Dahil dito, patakbo
siyang pumunta kay Simon Pedro at sa alagad na mahal ni
64
Jesus, at sinabi sa kanila, “Kinuha sa libingan ang Panginoon

at hindi namin alam kung saan dinala!” Kaya’t si Pedro at ang
nasabing alagad ay nagpunta sa libingan. Kapwa sila tumakbo
ngunit si Pedro’y naunahan ng kasamang alagad. Yumuko ito
at sumilip sa loob. Nakita niyang nakalagay ang mga kayong
lino, ngunit hindi siya pumasok. Kasunod niyang dumating si
Simon Pedro at tuluy-tuloy itong pumasok sa libingan. Nakita
niya ang mga kayong lino, at ang panyong ibinalot sa ulo.
Hindi ito kasama ng mga kayong lino, kundi hiwalay na
nakatiklop sa isang tabi. Pumasok din ang alagad na naunang
dumating; nakita niya ito at siya’y naniwala. (Hindi pa nila
nauunawaan ang nasasaad sa Kasulatan, na kailangang
muling mabuhay si Jesus.) At umuwi ang mga alagad.

Prayers of the Blessed Sacrament
Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy
Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive
You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You
sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I
embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself
wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Prayer While Visiting the Most Blessed

Sacrament
My Lord Jesus Christ, for the love which You bear to
men, You remain night and day in this Sacrament full of
compassion and love, awaiting, calling, and welcoming all
who come to visit You. I believe that You are present in the
Sacrament of the Altar: I adore You from the abyss of my
nothingness, and I thank You for all the graces which You
have bestowed upon me an in particular for having given me
Yourself in this Sacrament, for having given you holy Mother
68
Mary for my advocate, and for having called me to visit You in

this chapel. I now salute Your most loving Heart and this for
three ends:
1. In thanksgiving for this great gift;
2. To make amends to You for all the
outrages which You receive in this
sacrament from all Your enemies;
3. I intend by this visit to adore You in all
the places on earth in which You are the
least revered and the most
abandoned.
My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for
having so many times offended Your infinite goodness. I
promise with Your grace never more to offend You in the
future. Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I
consecrate myself to You without reserve.
I give you my entire will, my affections, my desires,
and all that I possess. From now on dispose of me and of all
that I have as You please. All that I ask of You and desire is
Your holy love, final perseverance, and the perfect
accomplishment of Your holy will. I recommend to You the
souls in purgatory; but especially those who had the greatest
devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed
Virgin Mary. I also recommend to You all poor sinners.
My dear Savior, I unite all my affections with the
affections of Your most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus
united, to Your eternal Father, and beseech Him in Your name
to vouchsafe, for Your love, to accept them. Amen.

Prayer to the Blessed Sacrament

My Lord Jesus, I believe that you are present in the
Blessed Sacrament. You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God. You came into the world on Christmas night and died on
the cross for my salvation on Good Friday. Let me say with
Peter, the Apostle: Lord it is good to be here! You are my
shepherd, my teacher, my savior. I am the leper prostrated at
your feet and saying, 'Lord, if you want, you can refresh my
soul!' I am the blind man of Jericho crying out: 'Jesus, Son of
David, have mercy on me!'
Help me, O Lord to love you with all my heart, with
all my soul, and with all my strength, and my neighbor as
myself, that I may become a little light for the world and gain
eternal life. Amen.

Prayers of Christ
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Divine Jesus, You have said, "Ask and you shall

receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened
to you." Behold me kneeling at Your feet, filled with a lively
faith and confidence in the promises dictated by Your Sacred
Heart to Saint Margaret Mary. I come to ask this favor:
(Make you request here in the silence of your heart...)
To whom can I turn if not to You, Whose Heart is the

source of all graces and merits? Where should I seek if not in
the treasure which contains all the riches of Your kindness
and mercy? Where should I knock if not at the door through
which God gives Himself to us and through which we go to
God? I have recourse to You, Heart of Jesus. In You I find
consolation when afflicted, protection when persecuted,
strength when burdened with trials, and light in doubt and
darkness.
Dear Jesus, I firmly believe that You can grant me the
grace I implore, even though it should require a miracle. You
have only to will it and my prayer will be granted. I admit that
I am most unworthy of Your favors, but this is not a reason
for me to be discouraged. You are the God of mercy, and You
will not refuse a contrite heart. Cast upon me a look of mercy,
I beg of You, and Your kind Heart will find in my miseries and
weakness a reason for granting my prayer.
74
Sacred Heart, whatever may be Your decision with

regard to my request, I will never stop adoring, loving,
praising, and serving You. My Jesus, be pleased to accept this,
my act of perfect resignation to the decrees of Your adorable
Heart, which I sincerely desire may be fulfilled in and by me
and all of Your creatures forever.
Grant me the grace for which I humbly implore You
through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful
Mother. You entrusted me to her as her child, and her
prayers are all-powerful with You. Amen.

sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Your

tore Your flesh and laid bare Your Bones as to inflict on You
an anguish greater than any other wound of Your Most
Blessed Body. I adore You, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise
and glorify You, and give You thanks for this most sacred and
painful Wound, beseeching You by that exceeding pain, and
by the crushing burden of Your heavy Cross to be merciful to
me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and

and with Thy angels.
Forever and ever,
Amen.

(Prayer of St. John Gabriel Perboyre, CM)
O my Divine Savior, transform me into yourself. May my
hands be the hands of Jesus. May my tongue be the tongue
of Jesus. Grant that every faculty of my body may serve only
to glorify You. Above all, transform my soul and all its powers,

Act of Contrition to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of
our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions,
pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use
of any part of my being other than to honor, love, and glorify
the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to
be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same
time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to
Him. I therefore take You, O Sacred Heart, to be the only
object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of
salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the
atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at
the hour of death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before
God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his
righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in
You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and
frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and
bounty.
Remove from me all that can displease You or resists
Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so
deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You
or to be separated from You.
89
May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace

of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You I desire
to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in
bondage to You.
Amen.
Creator Christ
(by Zoltan Abraham)
Creator Christ, through whom and in whom we are

and have our being, we worship You, we give You thanks, and
we praise You for Your infinite glory. Together with the angels
and saints, and through the Immaculate Heart of our Holy
Mother, we consecrate ourselves wholly to Your Sacred
Heart, and to Your Holy Trinity. We beseech you to fill us with
the boundless grace that You give us in Holy Communion.
Lead us, through the Virgin Mary and Your Real Presence in
the Eucharist to Divine Life in the Holy Trinity, now and for all
eternity. Amen.
Prayers of the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and
kindle in them the fire of Your Divine Love. Send forth Your
Spirit, and they shal be created, and You shall renew the face
of the Earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did
90
instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant, that by the same

Spirit, we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His
consolation. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly
witnesses, I offer myself, soul and body to You, Eternal Spirit
of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the unerring
keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are
the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and
am. I desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace
and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin
against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant
that I may always watch for Your light, and listen to Your
voice and follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and
give myself to You and ask You by Your compassion to watch
over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus
and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His Precious
Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I
implore You, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to
keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give
me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son, to say
to You always and everywhere, “Speak Lord, for Your servant
hears.” Amen.
Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Christ Jesus, before ascending into heaven, You
promised to send the Holy Spirit to Your apostles and
disciples. Grant that the same Holy Spirit may perfect in our
91
lives the work of Your grace and love. Grant us the Spirit of
Fear of the Lord that we may be filled with a living reverence
toward You; the Spirit of Piety that we may find peace and
fulfillment in the service of God while serving others; the
Spirit of Knowledge that we may know You and know
ourselves and grow in holiness; the Spirit of Fortitude that we
may bear our cross with You and, with courage, overcome
the obstacles that interfere with our salvation; the Spirit of
Knowledge that we may know You and know ourselves and
grow in holiness; the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten our
minds with the light of Your truth; the Spirit of Counsel that
we may choose the surest way of doing Your will, seeking first
the Kingdom; Grant us the Spirit of Wisdom that we may
aspire to the things that last forever. Teach us to be Your
faithful disciples and animate us in every way with Your Spirit.
Amen.
Most Holy Spirit

Most Holy Spirit, Beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, comfort me, console me. I promise
to submit myself to all You desire of me, and permit all You
wish to happen to me. Give me Your orders, tell me what to
do. Most Holy Spirit, bring Peace to the world. Amen.

Nothing good in deed or thought
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away.
Bend the stubborn heart and will.
Melt the frozen, warm the chill.
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore.
And confess you, evermore.
In Your sevenfold gift descend.
Give us virtue’s sure reward.
Give us your salvation, Lord.
Give us joys that never end. Amen. Alleluia.

Novena Prayer
All: Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, from the cross Jesus gave
you to us for our mother. You are the kindest, the most loving
of all mothers. Look tenderly on your children as we now ask
you to help us in all our needs, especially this one… (Pause for
personal intentions
While you were on earth, dear Mother, you willingly
shared in the sufferings of your Son. Strengthened by your
faith and confidence in the fatherly love of God, you accepted
the mysterious design of His will.
We too, have our crosses and trials. Sometimes they
almost rush us to the ground. Dearest Mother, share with us
your abundant faith and confidence in God. Make us aware
that God never ceases to love us; that He answers all our
prayers in the way that is best for us. Strengthen our hearts
to carry the cross in the footsteps of your Divine Son. Help us
to realize that he who shares the cross of Christ will certainly
share His resurrection.
Dearest Mother, as we worry about our own
problems, let us not forget the needs of others. You always
104
loved others so much; help us to do the same. While praying

for our own intentions and for the intentions of all here
present at this Novena, we earnestly ask you, our Mother, to
help us comfort the sick and the dying, give hope to the poor
and the unemployed, heal the broken-hearted, lighten the
burden of the oppressed, teach justice to their oppressors
and bring back to God all those who have offended Him.
Dearest Mother, help us to avoid sin which separates
us from our heavenly Father and from one another. Full of
trust in you, we place ourselves under the mantle of your
maternal protection and confidently hope for your powerful
help. Amen.
Prayer for the Home

All: Mother of Perpetual Help we choose you as Queen of our
homes. We ask you to bless all our families with your tender
motherly love. May the Sacrament of Marriage bind
husbands and wives so closely together that they will always
be faithful to each other and to love one another as Christ
loves His Church.
We ask you to bless all parents. May they love and
cherish their children whom God has entrusted to them. May
they always give them the example of a truly Christian life.
Help them to bring up their children in the love and fear of
God. Bless all children that they love, honor, and obey their
fathers and mothers. To your loving care we especially
entrust the youth of today.
Give us all a sense of responsibility that we may do
our part in making our home a haven of peace like your own
home at Nazareth. We take you as our model. Help us to
105
grow daily in genuine love of God and neighbor so that justice

and peace may happily reign in the entire family of mankind.
Amen.

kami ng bagong buhay. Sa pamamagitan nito, ginawa mo
kaming iyong mga anak upang magmahalan kami tulad ng
pagmamahal ni kristo sa amin. Anong limit naming malimutan
ang dakila naming karangalang ito. Nagkasala kami sa aming
mga kapatid; nagkasala kami sa iyo. Mahabaging Ama,
patawarin mo kami. Tapat naming pinagsisisihan ang aming
mga kasalanan. Kahabagan mo kami, maawaing Ama. Lagi
nawa kaming mabuhay bilang matapat mong mga anak.

Maikling Sermon
Birhen Maria Tala sa Umaga
Birhen Maria, Tala sa Umaga,

Noon pa man ay itingangi ka.
Ang ‘yong liwanag ang takdang lulupig
Kay Satanas, tao’y ililigtas.
113
Refrain
Iyong tunghan kaming nananambitan
At ang lupang iyong tinapakan.
Tulong mo’y ilawit sa ‘min, Maria
Ngayon at sa aming kamatayan.
Ang kalinisan mo;y iginagalang

Naming mahina’t makasalanan.
Awa ng Diyos an gaming kahilingan
Birhen Maria, kami’y tulungan.
Panalangin sa Nobena
(Lumuhod)
Mahal na Ina ng Laging Saklolo, buhat sa krus

ibinigay ka sa amin ni Jesus upang maging Ina namin. Ikaw
ang pinakamabait, pinakamasintahin sa lahat ng mga Ina.
Buong giliw mong tunghayan kaming iyong mga anak na
ngayon ay humihingi ng iyong tulong sa lahat ng aming
pangangailangan lalung-lalo na ang biyayang ito …(tumigil at
sabihin ang iyong mga hangarin).
Noong ikaw ay nasa lupa, minamahal na Ina, ikaw ay
buong pusong nakiramay sa paghihirap ng iyong Anak. Sa
tulong ng iyong pananalig at pagtitiwala sa maka-Amang
pagmamahal ng Diyos tinanggap mo ang Kanyang
mahiwagang kalooban.
Mayroon din kaming mga krus at mga tiisin sa buhay.
Kung minsan ang mga ito’y parang hindi na naming kayang
pasanin. Pinakamamahal na Ina bahaginan mo kami ng iyong
114
malaking pagtitiwala sa Diyos. Ipaunawa mo na walang

katapusan ang pagmamahal ng Diyos sa amin at tinutugon
Niya ang lahat ng aming mga panalangin sa paraang
makabubuti sa amin. Palakasin mo ang aming loob sa
pagpapasan ng krus tulad ng iyong Banal na Anak. Tulungan
mong maunawan namin na sinumang nakikibahagi sa krus ni
Kristo ay tiyak na makakabahagi rin ng kanyang muling
pagkabuhay.
Pinakamamahal na Ina habang kami ay nababahala

sa sarili naming mga suliranin huwag sana naming malimutan
ang mga pangangailangan ng iba. Mahal na mahal mo sila;
tulungan mong maging ganito rin ang aming pagmamahal sa
kanila. Samantalang idinadalangin namin ang aming mga
adhikain at mga adhikain ng lahat ng naririto ngayon
mataimtim sa loob na hinihiling namin sa iyo aming ina,
tulungan mo kaming makapagdulot ng aliw at ginhawa sa
mga maysakit at sa mga malapit ng sumakabilang buhay
magpahilom ng sugat ng mga pusong wasak magpagaan ng
tinitiis ng mga inaapi, at turuan ng katarungan ang mga sa
kanila’y nang-aapi at ibalik sa Diyos ang lahat ng mga
nagkasala sa Kanya.
Pinakamamahal na Ina, tulungan mo kaming umiwas
sa kasalanan na naglalayo sa amin sa aming Ama sa langit at
sa isa’t-isa. Buong tiwala naming isinasalalay ang aming sarili
sa iyong pagkalinga at lubos na umaasang kami’y iyong
tutulungan.
Panalangin para sa Tahanan

isa’t-isa tulad ng pagmamahal ni Kristo sa Santa Iglesia.
Hinihiling naming pagpalain mo ang lahat ng mga
magulang mahalin nawa nila ang mga anak na ipinagkatiwala
ng Diyos sa kanila. Nawa’y lagi silang maging huwaran ng
kanilang mga anak sa pamamagitan ng kanilang tunay na
buhay-kristiyano. Tulungan mong palakihin at arugain ang
kanilang mga anak na may pagmamahal at takot sa Diyos.
Pagpalain mo ang mga bata upang kanilang mahalin, igalang
at sundin ang kanilang ama at ina. Sa iyong magiliw na
pagpapala tangi naming ipinagkakatiwala ang mga kabataan
ngayon.
Bigyan mo kaming lahat ng pagpapahalaga sa aming
pananagutan nang matupad namin ang aming tungkulin na
gawing pugad ng kapayapaan ang aming tahanan tulad ng
iyong tahanan sa Nasaret. Ikaw ang aming huwaran. Tulungan
mo kami upang araw-araw ay lalong magningas ang dalisay
naming pagmamahal sa Diyos at kapwa, nang sa gayo’y
maligayang maghari ang katarungan at kapayapaan sa buong
sangkatauhan. Amen.

General Prayers
Prayers Before Mass
Prayer of St. Ambrose

Lord Jesus Christ, I approach you banquet table in
fear and trembling, for I am a sinner, and dare not rely on my
own worth, but only on your goodness and mercy. I am
defiled by many sins in body and soul, and by my unguarded
thoughts and words. Gracious God of majesty and awe, I seek
your protection, I look for healing. Poor troubled sinner that I
am, I appeal to you, the fountain of all mercy. I cannot bear
your judgement, but I trust in your salvation.
Lord, I show my wounds to you and uncover my
shame before you. I know my sins are many and great, and
they fill me with fear, but I hope in your mercies, for they
cannot be numbered. Lord Jesus Christ, eternal king, God and
man, crucified for mankind, look upon me with mercy and
hear my prayer, for I trust in you. Have mercy on me, full of
131
sorrow and sin, for the depth of your compassion never ends.
Praise to you, saving sacrifice, offered on the wood of the
cross for me and all mankind.
Praise to the noble and precious blood, flowing from
the wounds of my crucified Lord Jesus Christ and washing
away the sins of the whole world. Remember, Lord, your
creature, whom you have redeemed with your blood; I repent
my sins, and I long to put right what I have done.
Merciful Father, take away all my offences and sins,
purify me in body and soul, and make me worthy to taste the
holy of holies. May your body and blood, which I intend to
receive, although I am unworthy, be for me the remission of
my sins, the washing away of my guilt, the end of my evil
thoughts, and the rebirth of my better instincts. May it incite
me to do the works pleasing to you and profitable to my
health in body and soul, and be a firm defense against the
wiles of my enemies. Amen.
Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the
sacrament of your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I
come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of
mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and
needy to the Lord of heaven and earth.
Lord, in your great generosity, heal my sickness,
wash away my defilement, wash away my defilement,
enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my
nakedness. May I receive the bread of angels, the King of
kings and the Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the
purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the
determined purpose that will help to bring me to salvation.
132
May I receive the sacrament of the sacrament of the Lord’s

body and blood, and its reality and power.
Kind God, may I receive the body of your only-
begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of
the Virgin Mary, and so be received into his mystical body,
and numbered among his members.
Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrimage I now
receive your beloved Son under the veil of a sacrament, may I
one day see him face to face in glory, who lives and reigns
with you forever. Amen.
Prayer to the Virgin Mary

Mother of mercy and love, blessed Virgin Mary, I am
a poor and unworthy sinner, and I turn to you in confidence
and love. You stood by your Son as he hung dying on the
cross. Stand also by me, a poor sinner, and by all the priests
who are offering Mass today here and throughout the entire
Church. Help us to offer a perfect and acceptable sacrifice in
the sight of the holy and undivided Trinity, our most high
God. Amen.
Statement of Intention
My purpose is to celebrate Mass and to make
present the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ according
to the rite of the holy Roman Church to the praise of our all-
powerful God and all his assembly in the glory of heaven, for
my good and the good of all his pilgrim Church on earth, and
for al who have asked me to pray for them in general and in
particular, and for the good of the holy Roman Church.
133
May the almighty and merciful Lord grant us joy and

peace, amendment of life, room for true repentance, the
grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit, and perseverance in
good works. Amen.
Thanksgiving after Mass
Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Lord, Father all-powerfull, 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 and blood of
your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that this holy communion may not bring me to
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
banqquet 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.
Prayer of Self-Dedication to Jesus Christ

134
Lord Jesus Christ, take my freedom, my memory, my

understanding, and my will. All that I have and cherish you
have given me. I surrender it all to be guided by your will.
Your grace and your love are wealth enough for me. Give me
these, Lord Jesus, and I ask for nothing more.
Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified

My good and dear Jesus, I kneel before you, asking
you most earnestly to engrave upon my heart a deep and
lively faith, hope, and charity, with true repentance for my
sins, and a firm resolve to make amends. As I reflect upon
your five wounds, and dwell upon them with deep
compassion and grief, I recall, good Jesus, the words the
prophet David spoke long ago concerning yourself: they have
pierced my hands and my feet, they have counted all my
bones!
The Universal Prayer

Attributed to Pope Clement XI
Lord, I believe in you: increase my faith. I trust in
you: strengthen my trust. I love you: let me love you more
and more. I am sorry for my sins: deepen my sorrow.
I worship you as my first beginning, I long for you as
my last end, I praise you as my constant helper, and call on
you as my loving protector. Guide me by your wisdom, crrect
me with your justice, comfort me with your mercy, protect
me with your power.
I offer you, Lord, my thoughts: to be fixed on you;
my words: to have you for their theme; my actions: to reflect
my love for you; my sufferings: to be endured for your
135
greater glory. I want to do what you ask of me: in the way you
ask, for as long as you ask, because you ask it.
Lord, enlighten my understanding, strengthen my
will, purify my heart, and make me holy. Help me to repent of
my past sins and to resist temptation in the future. Help me
to rise above my human weaknesses and to grow stronger as
a Christian.
Let me Love you, my Lord and my God, and see
myself as I really am: a pilgrim in this world, a Christian called
to respect and love all whose lives I touch, those in authority
over me or those under my authority, my friends and
enemies.
Help me to conquer anger with gentleness, greed by
generosity, apathy by fervor. Help me to forget myself and
reach out towards others. Make me prudent in planning,
corageous in taking risks. Make me patient in suffering,
unassuming in prosperity.
Keep me, Lord, attentive at prayer, temperate in
food and drink, diligent in my work, firm in my good
intentions. Let my conscience be clear, my conduct without
fault, my speech blameless, my life well-ordered. Put a guard
against my human weaknesses. Let me cherish your love for
me, keep your law, and come at last to your salvation.
Teach me to realize that this world is passing that my
true future is the happiness of heaven, that life on earth is
short, and the life to come eternal. Help me to prepare for
death with a proper fear of judgment, but a greater trust in
your goodness. Lead me safely through death to the endless
joy of heaven. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen
Prayer to the Virgin Mary

136
Mary, holy virgin mother, I have received your Son,

Jesus Christ. With love you became his mother, gave birth to
him, nursed him, and helped him grow to manhood. With
love I return him to you, to hold once more, to love with all
your heart, and to offer to the Holy Trinity as our supreme act
of worship for your honor and for the good of all your pilgrim
brothers and sisters.
Mother, ask God to forgive my sins and to help me
serve him more faithfully. Keep me true to Christ until death,
and let me come to praise him with you for ever and ever.
Amen.

mountains as well.
He made the sea; it belongs to him, the dry land, too, for it
was formed by his hands.
Come, then, let us bow down and worship, bending the knee
before the Lord, our maker.
137
For he is our God and we are his people, the flock he

shepherds.
Today, listen to the voice of the Lord:

Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did in the wilderness,
When at Meriba and Massah they challenged me and
provoked me,
Although they had seen all of my works.
Forty years I endured that generation.

I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray and they do
not know my ways.”
So I swore in my anger, “They shall not enter into my rest.”
Glory to the Father. As it was in the beginning.
Psalm 24
The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all its peoples.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the waters he made it firm.
Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who shall stand in his holy place?
The man with clean hands and pure heart,
who desires not worthless things,
who has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor,.
He shall receive blessings from the Lord

and reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the men who seek him,
138
seek the face of the God of Jacob.
O gates, lift high your heads;

grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Who is the king of glory?

The Lord, the mighty, the valiant,
the Lord, the valiant in war.
O gates, lift high your heads;

grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Who is he, the king of glory?

He, the Lord of armies,
he is the king of glory.
Glory to the Father. As it was in the beginning.
Psalm 67
O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shed its light upon us.
So will your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn your saving help.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations be glad and exult

139
for you rule the world with justice.

With fairness you rule the peoples,
you guide the nations on earth.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you.

Prayer for Abused Children

Divine Mercy, we beg of you to protect all those
helpless children who are physically ad sexually abused,
especially by those whose duty it is to guide and protect them
on earth. Send down your enveloping cloak of Mercy and
wrap it around these poor children and enfold them in your
love and protection. Send forth your rays of blood and water
to cleanse and renew the souls of those who perpetrate
these vile acts of Satan. Let there be a way to get your
powerful image of Divine Mercy into the homes of these sad
families from where graces flow as you promise, and they
shall be renewed. O blood and water which gushed forth
from the heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, we trust in
you. Amen.
Prayer for Priests

Keep them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord, keep them, for
they are Thine. Thy priests whose lives burn out before Thy
consecrated shrine. Keep them, for they are in the world,
though from the world apart. When earthly pleasures tempt,
allure, shelter them in Thy Heart. Keep them, and comfort
them in hours of loneliness and pain, when all their life of
sacrifice for souls seems but in vain. Keep them, and
remember, O Lord, they have no one but thee. Yet they have
141
only human hearts with human frailty. Keep them as spotless

as the Host that daily they caress; their every thought and
word and deed, deign, dearest Lord, to bless. Amen.
Serenity Prayer
God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things
right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
Prayer of Surrender
Eternal God, Goodness itself, whose mercy is
incomprehensible to every intellect, whether human or
angelic, help me, your feeble child, to do Your holy will as you
make it known to me. I desire nothing but to fulfill God’s
desires. Lord, here is my soul and my body, my mind and my
will, my heart and all my love. Direct me according to your
eternal plan. Amen.
Prayer for the Full Armor of God

Jesus, we stand beside You with truth buckled
around our waist and integrity for a beast plate, wearing for
shoes on our feet the eageress to spread the gospel of peace.
We carry the shield of faith in order to extinguish the burning
142
arrows of the evil ones. Our helmet is our salvation that we

received from You, Jesus, and the Word of God is our sword.
We thank You, Lord, and praise You for this protection.
Amen.
Prayer for Daily Neglects

Leader: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, with all its Love, all its Sufferings, and all its Merits.

the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be
forever.
All: Amen.

Leader: Third, to supply for the good I ought to have done,

and that I have neglected this day and during all my life. Glory

in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
All: Amen.

143
Prayer of St. Ignatius

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory,
my intellect, and all my will, all that I have and possess. Thou
gave it to me; to Thee, Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of
it wholly according to Thy Will. Give me Thy love and grace,
for this is enough for me. Amen.
Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in
three Divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe
that your Divine Son became man, died for our sins, and that
He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these
and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches,
because you have revealed them, who can neither deceive
nor be deceived. Amen.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on your almighty power and
infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my
sins, the help of your grace, and life everlasting through the
merits of Jesus Christ my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Act of Charity
O my God, I love you above all things, with my whole
heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all
love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you. I
forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I
have injured. Amen
144
Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

O, gentle heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed
Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor
captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on them. Be not
severe in your judgments but let some drops of your precious
Blood fall upon the devouring flames. And, Merciful Savior, to
a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
Holy Are Your Ways

Help me to understand, Lord, that what counts is not
the road traveled, but simply putting my hand in yours and
journeying side by side with you, Lord Jesus. O you who are
the joy of my journey and also the repose in the Father’s
home! Holy, holy is the Lord, for eternity is his love.

always over us all.
