Prayer of San Ignacio de Loyola
Lord Jesus Christ,
take all 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 and wealth
are enough for me.
Give me these,
Lord Jesus,
and I ask for nothing more.
Amen
Prayer of Caritas
God, our father, who is all power and
goodness,
give strength to those who go through tribulations;
give light to those who seek the truth,
and fill the human heart with compassion and charity.
God, give the guiding star to the traveler,
consolation to the afflicted,
and rest to the sick.
Father, give repentance to the guilty,
truth to the spirit,
guidance to the child and a father to the orphan.
Lord, May Your goodness extend over everything that You have created.
Mercy, Lord, to those who do not know You,
and hope to those who suffer.
May Your goodness allow the consoling
spirits
to spread peace, hope, and faith everywhere.
God. A ray of light and a spark of Your
love can inflame the earth.
Let us drink from the fountains of this abundant and infinite goodness,
and all tears will be dried,
and all pain will be lessened.
A single heart, a single thought will rise
to You,
like a cry of gratitude and love.
Like Moses on the mountain,
we wait for You with open arms.
Oh, Goodness, Oh, Beauty, Oh, Perfection,
we wish in some way to deserve Your mercy.
God, give us the strength to help progress
so we may rise up to You,
give us pure charity,
give us faith and reason,
and give us the simplicity that will make our souls
the mirror that will reflect your image.
Amen
The prayer of St.
Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your
peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
where there is injury, pardon,
where there is doubt, faith,
where there is despair, hope,
where there is darkness, light,
and where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled, as to console,
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
For it is in giving, that we receive,
it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
and it is dying that we are born to eternal life,
Amen
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.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our 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.
