THE LORD’S PRAYER

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. Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.

A PRAYER AGAINST WORRY

Oh God, you are the God of Peace, and I am a worrier. Take away my worry and give me some of your peace. Help me not to waste my time worrying about things about which there is nothing to be done, but help me to accept them, and to make the best of them, and to overcome them. Help me not to worry about things which I myself can mend but to do something  about them; even if it means a great effort, and even if it means that which is still more difficult – the confessing of my error and humbling of my pride. Help me tonight to sleep in peace, and to waken a sinner, help me to know and remember that I am a forgiven sinner. Amen.

PRAYER TO St. MARY

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it knows, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided; inspired with this confidence I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful, O Mother of the World Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.

A MORNING RULE OF PRAYER

O God, be merciful to me a sinner. O God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me. O Lord, forgive me; for I have sinned without number. Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.

Glory be to You, our God, Glory be to You. O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, You are everywhere present and fill all things. Treasury of Blessings and Giver of Life, come and dwell within us, cleanse us of all stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord. Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; O Lord, cleanse us of our sins; O Master, forgive our transgressions; O Holy One, come to us and heal our infirmities for Your Name's sake. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
