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; separated from you, let me never be; From the evil one protect me; At the hour of my death, call me; And close to you bid me; That with your saints, I may be praising you forever and ever.
Bind Myself to Jesus
In the name of Jesus, I bind my mind to the Mind of Christ. In the name of Jesus, I bind my will and desires to God’s will and purposes for my life. In the name of Jesus, I bind my health to the Lord’s power over all that is physical. In the name of Jesus, I bind myself to the Truth of God and the Love of God. In the Name of Jesus, I bind my family's needs to God's unlimited resources. In the Name of Jesus, I bind my future to God's infinite wisdom and design for my life. In the Name of Jesus, I bind my body to the Resurrection life of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus, I bind my spirit, soul, and body to the Blood of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus, I bind myself to the Word of God, which will renew my mind and set me free. And Father, in the Name of Your Son, I bind my heart to Your Heart.
Divine Mercy Novena
Introduction
The Divine Mercy Novena can be said at any time of the day and beginning on any day of the year, however it is recommended that it be said at 3pm on the nine days preceeding Divine Mercy Sunday. The novena is actually a recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with specific intentions Jesus provided to St. Faustina.
First-Day Second-Day Third-Day Fourth-Day Fifth-Day Sixth-Day Seventh-Day Eight-Day Nineth-Day
First Day: Today, bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which, we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from it. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Oh, omnipotence of Divine Mercy, Salvation of sinful people, You are a sea of mercy and compassion; You aid those who entreat You with humility. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy forever and ever. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Second Day: Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind. Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in us, that we may perform worthy works of mercy, and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven. The fountain of God’s love Dwells in pure hearts, Bathed in the Sea of Mercy, Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard — upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation, and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Third Day: Today bring to Me all devout and faithful souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely. The miracles of mercy are impenetrable. Neither the sinner nor just one will fathom them. When You cast upon us an eye of pity, You draw us all closer to Your love. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Fourth Day: Today bring to Me the pagans and those who do not yet know Me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of pagans who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart. May the light of Your love Enlighten the souls in darkness; Grant that these souls will know You And, together with us, praise Your mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of pagans and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Fifth Day: Today bring to Me the souls of heretics and schismatics, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart; that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal, and in this way they alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of heretics and schismatics. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to extol the generosity of Your mercy. Even for those who have torn the garment of Your unity, A fount of mercy flows from Your Heart. The omnipotence of Your mercy, Oh God. Can lead these souls also out of error. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of heretics and schismatics, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Sixth Day: Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble souls, and upon the souls of little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
(To Chaplet)
Seventh Day: Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. A soul who praises the goodness of his Lord Is especially loved by Him. He is always close to the living fountain And draws graces from Mercy Divine. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.
(To Chaplet)
Eighth Day: Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised. From that terrible heat of the cleansing fire rises a plaint to Your mercy, And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief In the stream of mingled Blood and Water. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.
(To Chaplet)
Ninth Day: Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: “Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.” For them, the last hope of salvation is to flee to My mercy.
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power. Fire and ice cannot be joined; Either the fire dies, or the ice melts. But by Your mercy, O God, You can make up for all that is lacking. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls, who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy… O day of eternity, O day so long desired, with thirst and longing, my eyes search you out. Soon love will tear the veil asunder, and you will be my salvation. O day most beautiful, moment incomparable, when for the first time I shall see my God, the Bridegroom of my soul and Lord of lords, and fear will not restrain my soul. O day most solemn, O day of brightness, When the soul will know God in His omnipotence and drown totally in His love, Knowing the miseries of exile are o’er. O happy day, O blessed day, When my heart will burn for You with fire eternal, For even now I feel Your presence, though through the veil. Through life and death, O Jesus, You are my rapture and delight. O day, of which I dreamed through all my life, Waiting long for You, O God, For it is You alone whom I desire. You are the one and only of my heart; all else is naught. O day of delight, day of eternal bliss, God of great majesty, my beloved Spouse, You know that nothing will satisfy a virgin heart. On Your tender Heart I rest my brow.

Almighty and eternal God, look upon the Heart of Thy most beloved Son and upon the praises and satisfaction which He offers Thee in the name of sinners; and to those who implore Thy mercy, in Thy great goodness, grant forgiveness in the name of the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who lives and reigns with Thee forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer For Atheists
In the Name of Jesus, who said that anything we ask in His Name will be given to those who believe, I ask that those who have not come to know the love of the Heavenly Father will be blessed with the knowledge that they are loved by him beyond all human reasoning and understanding. Please grant them the gift to feel his love as it enfolds them to such an extent that they will be unable to resist or deny it. May the knowledge of the Heavenly Father's infinite love stir within their hearts the desire to return that love to him, and to reflect it to all others. May their lives be a pure reflection of his resplendent love. I ask this in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen
Prayer for Conversion
O divine and adorable Savior, who is the way, the truth, and the life, I beseech you to have mercy upon these people [name those for whom you are praying] and bring them to the knowledge and love of your truth.

Oh, let not the souls for whom I pray be shut out from your blessed fold! Unite them to yourself in the sacraments of your love, and grant that, partaking of the blessings of your grace in this life, they may come at last to the possession of those eternal rewards which you have promised to all those who believe in you and who do your will. Hear this my petition, O merciful Jesus, who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns ever and ever. Amen

You are the source of all truth. You are the source of all strength.

Exorcise, we pray, that which oppresses Your Bride, the Church, so that within ourselves, our families, our parishes, our dioceses, and our nation we may turn fully back to You in all fidelity and trust. Lord, we know if You will it, it will be done. Give us the perseverance for this mission, we pray. Amen

Prayers of St. Bridget (updated)
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh, Jesus Christ! Eternal sweetness to those who love you, joy surpassing all joy and desire, hope and salvation of all sinners. You have showed that you have no greater desire than to be among men, even assuming human nature at the fullness of time for the love of men, recall all the sufferings you endured from the moment of your conception, and especially during your passion, as it was decreed and ordained from all eternity according to the divine plan. Remember, Lord, that during the Last Supper with your disciples, having washed their feet, you gave them your most Precious Body and Blood, and while at the same time you did sweetly console them, you did foretell them of your coming Passion. Remember the sadness and bitterness which you experienced in your soul as you yourself bore witness saying: "My soul is sorrowful even unto death." Remember all the anguish and pain that you experienced in your delicate body before the torment of the crucifixion, when, after having prayed three times, bathed in a sweat of blood, you were betrayed by Judas, your disciple, arrested by the people of a nation you had chosen and elevated, accused by false witnesses, unjustly judged by three judges during the flower of your youth and during the solemn Paschal season. Remember that you were despoiled of your garments and clothed in those of derision; that your face and eyes were veiled, that you were buffeted, crowned with thorns, a reed placed in your hands, that you were crushed with blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages. In memory of all these pains and sufferings which you endured before your passion on the cross, grant me before my death true contrition, a sincere and entire confession, worthy satisfaction, and the remission of all my sins.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! True liberty of angels, paradise of delights, remember the horror and bitterness which you experienced when your enemies, like furious lions, surrounded you, and by thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations and other unheard-of cruelties, tormented you at will. In consideration of these torments and insulting words, I beseech you, oh my savior, to deliver me from all my enemies, visible and invisible, and to bring me, under your protection, to the perfection of external salvation.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Creator of Heaven and earth whom nothing can encompass or limit, you who enfolds and holds all things under your loving power, remember the pain you endured when the Jews nailed your sacred hands and feet to the cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding you in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged your wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched your body on the cross, pulled you from all sides, thus dislocating your limbs. I beg of you, Oh Jesus, by the memory of this most loving suffering of the Cross, to grant me the grace to fear you and to Love you.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the spirit, by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall which you tasted on the cross for love of us, grant us the grace to receive worthily your Precious Body and Blood during our life and at the hour of our death, they may serve as a remedy and consolation for our souls.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Heavenly physician, raised aloft on the cross to heal our wounds with yours, remember the bruises which you suffered and the weakness of all your limbs which were distended to such a degree that never was there pain like yours. From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet there was not one spot on your body that was not in torment, and yet, forgetting all your sufferings, you did not cease to pray to your Heavenly Father for your enemies, saying: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Through this great mercy, and in memory of this suffering, grant that the remembrance of your most bitter passion may affect in us a perfect contrition and the remission of all our sins.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Mirror of eternal splendor, remember the sadness which you experienced, when contemplating in the light of your Divinity the predestination of those who would be saved by the merits of your Sacred Passion, you saw at the same time, the great multitude of reprobates who would be damned for their sins, and you complained bitterly of those hopelessly lost and unfortunate sinners. Through this abyss of compassion and pity, and especially through the goodness which you displayed to the good thief when you said to him: "This day, you shall be with me in paradise." I beg of you, sweet Jesus, that at the hour of my death, you will show me mercy.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Most precious and beloved king, remember the grief you suffered, when naked and like a common criminal, you were fastened and raised on the cross, when all your relatives and friends abandoned you, except your beloved mother, who remained close to you during your agony and whom you entrusted to your faithful disciple when you said to Mary:" Woman, behold your son!" and to St. John: "Son, behold your Mother!" I beg of you, oh my savior, by the sword of sorrow which pierced the soul of your holy mother, to have compassion on me in all my affliction and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to assist me in all my trials, and especially at the hour of my death.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! You are the beginning and end of all things, life and virtue, remember that for our sakes you were plunged in an abyss of suffering from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head. In consideration of the enormity of your wounds, teach me to keep, through pure love, your commandments, whose way is wide and easy for those who love you.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy, I beg of you, in memory of your magnitude of your wounds which penetrated to the very marrow of your bones and to the depth of your being, to draw me, a miserable sinner, overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and to hide me from your face justly irritated against me, hide me in your wounds, until your anger and just indignation shall have passed away.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Mirror of Truth, symbol of unity, link of charity, remember the multitude of wounds with which you were covered from head to foot, torn and reddened by the spilling of your adorable blood. Oh, great and universal pain which you suffered in your flesh for love of us! Sweetest Jesus! What is there that you could have done for us which you have not done! May the fruit of your sufferings be renewed in my soul by the faithful remembrance of your passion, and may your love increase in my heart each day, until I see you in eternity, you who are the treasury of every real good and every joy, which I beg you to grant me, oh sweetest Jesus, in heaven.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Royal virtue, joy of the mind, remember the suffering you were enduring when you cried out “Eli Eli Lema Sabathani” the name of the prayer of David that was being fulfilled at that same moment. With the 4th cup you were about to provide the deliverance for the Todah offering at the Last Supper: providing deliverance from sin for all of us by the blood of the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Grant that through the triumph of your cross I may have the grace of final perseverance.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Inexhaustible fountain of compassion, who by a profound gesture of love, said from the cross: "I thirst!", suffering from the thirst for the salvation of the human race, you were requesting the 4th cup that you had omitted from the Seder meal. I beg of you, oh my savior, to inflame in our hearts the desire to tend toward perfection in all our acts; and to extinguish in us the concupiscence of the flesh and the ardor of worldly desires"
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Strong lion, immortal and invincible King, remember the pain which you endured when all your strength, both moral and physical, was entirely exhausted, you raised your head, saying: "It is finished!", thus providing the Nirtzah to end the Seder meal, the Todah, begun at the Last Supper, and at the same time as high priest declaring the death of the sacrificial lamb, the Lamb of God. Through this triumph, anguish, and grief, I beg of you Lord Jesus, to have mercy on me at the hour of my death when my mind will be greatly troubled, and my soul will be in anguish.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! Only Son of the Father, splendor and figure of his substance, remember the simple and humble recommendation you made of your soul to your eternal father, saying: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit!" And with your body all torn, and your heart broken, and the bowels of your mercy opened to redeem us, you expired. By this precious death, I beg of you king of saints, comfort me and help me to resist the devil, the flesh and the world, so that being dead to the world I may live for you alone. I beg of you at hour of my death to receive me, a pilgrim and an exile returning to you.
(Our Father; Hail Mary); Oh Jesus! True and fruitful vine! Remember the abundant outpouring of blood which you so generously shed from your sacred body as juice from grapes in a wine press. From your side, pierced with a soldier’s lance, blood and water poured out until there was not left in your body a single drop, and finally, like a bundle of myrrh lifted to the top of the cross, your delicate flesh was destroyed, the very substance of your body withered, and the marrow of your bones dried up. Through this bitter passion and through the outpouring of your Precious Blood, I beg of you to receive my soul when I am in my death agony.
Oh, sweet Jesus! Pierce my heart with a sword of sorrow so that my tears of penitence and love will be my bread day and night; may I be converted entirely to you, may my heart be your perpetual habitation, may my conversation be pleasing to you, and may the end of my life be so praise worthy that I may merit Heaven and there with your saints, praise you forever. Amen.
Rosary of Jesus' 33 Years of Life on Earth
My Jesus, at this moment I want to be with You. You are my Brother and my Redeemer. For my sake, You stayed with me. Thank You! Thank You for Your life. That is why, at the beginning of this prayer, O Jesus, I entrust to You my life, worries, problems and everything that tries to deceive me and separate me from You. I renounce sin, which destroyed our friendship. I renounce evil, which spoiled our friendship. Lord, I lay at Your feet everything I possess. I want to be entirely Yours and, with You, belong completely to the Father.
O Mary, no one besides You ever knew how it was to be with Jesus while He was growing up with You. Stay with me now so that I may know how to stay with Jesus. Pray with me, O Mary, so that the Spirit of Jesus may cover me and enable me to pray like Him, “Abba, Father!” Amen. (Apostles Creed)
Jesus is born in Bethlehem (Lk 2:4-7, 10-14). Let us pray for peace! O Jesus, be our peace. Eliminate the barriers that separate us from the other. Make us men of good will. (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus helps and gives everything to the poor (Lk 9:12-13; 16-17). Let us pray for the Holy Father, for all the authorities in the Church and all nations. O Jesus, You loved the poor, satisfying them with the bread of earth. And even more: You offered the bread of heaven and living water for all the hungry and thirsty. Move the heart of our Pope and all those responsible for the Church and the nations so that they promote the just distribution of earthly goods and that all may be fed and still have leftovers. (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus entrusts Himself to the Father and does His will (Mt 26:36-39; 42-44). Let us pray for priests and those who in a special way are called to serve Jesus for all their life. O Jesus, You entrusted Yourself to the will of the Father even in the most difficult moments. Grant to all priests and consecrated persons the grace to faithfully fulfil the Father’s will. Take away their fear of drinking the bitter chalice of life. May all the anxiety and solitude that life presents to them not impede them on the secure road to the resurrection. (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus knew that He would give His life for us and freely did it because He loves us (Jn 17:1-2; 19). Let us pray for families. O Jesus, You loved us and because of this You returned to the Father with a serene soul, replete with complete abandon. For You, nothing was excessively difficult because You were full of love for us. Make our families also be entirely disposed to do everything to make one another happy. Make our parents sanctify their life in love so that together they give of themselves to their children, sanctifying them also. (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus sacrificed His life for us! (Jn 15:12-14). Let us pray for each one of us to be able to offer his life for others. Jesus, You showed the infinite grandeur of Your love when You died for us. You put aside the glory You had enjoyed from the beginning and accepted the condition of a servant, inviting us to follow Your example: to live at the complete disposition of another, just as You did down to Your last day on earth. Thank You, because You gave us the conditions to be able to love as You do. Drive away from us selfishness, arrogance, hatred and sensuality (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
The victory of Jesus. He defeated the devil and rose again (Lk 24:4-7; 10:17-20). Let us pray that all sin be eliminated, and that Jesus may be resurrected in our hearts. Lord Jesus, You defeated death. Free me from sin and death. May hatred be overcome in me and others so that peace triumphs. With the power of Your Word and the word of the priest, do away with the influence of Satan. (Our Father x 5) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus went up to heaven (Lk 24:50-53). Let us pray for the fulfilment of God’s will. Jesus, grant us the spirit of prayer and joy so that we may be Your witnesses before the peoples and nations. May Your Church be the perennial witness in the world of Your infinite love! (Our Father x 3) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!
Jesus sends the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles in the company of the Virgin Mary (Acts 2:1-4). Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to pour down His fullness upon us, our families, the Church, religious communities and all the baptized. May the Holy Spirit especially inspire the hearts of all who govern the world, communicating to them a sense of justice for making wise decisions on the road to peace. Jesus, send us Your Spirit as You did to Your Apostles and Mother. May He enlighten us always and lead us to know the truth; may He teach us love and guide our steps in direction of peace! (Glory Be x 7) O Jesus, be our protection and strength!

May these prayers pour upon your Holy Humanity in Glorification to your Painful Wounds and the Precious Blood that You spilled from them.
- (Our Father; Hail Mary); Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the first wounds, the first pains, and the first Bloodshed as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of youth, as protection against the first mortal sin, especially among my relatives.

Amen
- (Our Father; Hail Mary); Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the many thousands of Wounds, the gruesome Pains, and the Precious Blood of the Flogging as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of the Flesh, as protection against such sins and the preservation of innocence, especially among my relatives.

Amen
- (Our Father; Hail Mary); Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You Your Son on the Cross, His Nailing and Raising, His Wounds on the Hands and Feet and the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these for us, His extreme tortures of the Body and Soul, His precious Death and its non-bleeding renewal in all Holy Masses on earth as atonement for all wounds against vows and regulations within the Orders, as reparation for my and all of the world's sins, for the sick and the dying, for all holy priests and laymen, for the Holy Father's intentions toward the restoration of Christian families, for the strengthening of Faith, for our country and unity among all nations in Christ and His Church, as well as for the Diaspora. Amen
- (Our Father; Hail Mary); Eternal Father, accept as worthy, for the needs of the Holy Church and as atonement for the sins of all Mankind, the Precious Blood and Water which poured forth from the Wound of Jesus' Divine Heart. Be gracious and merciful toward us.
Blood of Christ, the last precious content of His Holy Heart, wash me of all my and others' guilt of sin!
Water from the Side of Christ wash me clean of all punishments for sin and extinguish the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Souls. Amen
Surrender Novena Given by Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo
First-Day Second-Day Third-Day Fourth-Day Fifth-Day Sixth-Day Seventh-Day Eight-Day Nineth-Day
Day – 1: Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
(next) Day – 2: Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act. Saying You take care of it.
(next) Day – 3: How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need turns to me, looks at me and says to me; You take care of it, then closes its eyes and rests. In pain, you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So, do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: Hallowed be your Name, that is, be glorified in my need. Your kingdom come, that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: Your will be done. Which is the same as saying: You take care of it. I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.
(next) Day- 4: You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry, close your eyes and say to me with faith: Your will be done. You take care of it. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset but close your eyes and say You take care of it. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.
(next) Day- 5: And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
(next) Day- 6: You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse, to men themselves, trusting in their intervention, this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh, how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.
(next) Day- 7: I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So, don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.
(next) Day – 8: Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say You take care of it. I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
(next) Day- 9: Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, Jesus, you take care of it. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: (next)
Surrender: O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Surrender to Jesus
Lord Jesus, I invite you to live in my heart more completely. I give to you my plans and I accept your
perfect plans for my life. I will strive to yield to Your will and the guidance of Your Holy Spirit in every
detail of my life. Please change me in whatever way necessary so that I may know you more personally,
love you more deeply, and serve you in everything I do.
Three Beautiful Prayers for the Dying - taken from the Pieta Book"
Which are very useful to a dying person, and should be prayed often as an act of mercy.
There once was a Pope in Rome who was surrounded by many sins. The Lord God struck him with a fatal illness. When he saw that he was dying, he summoned cardinals, bishops, and learned persons and said to them: “My dear friends! What comfort can you give me now that I must die, and when I deserve eternal damnation for my sins?” No one answered him. One of them, a pious curate named John said: “Father, why do you doubt the Mercy of God?” The Pope replied: “What comfort can you give me now that I must die and fear that I’ll be damned for my sins?” John replied: “I’ll read three prayers over you; I hope you’ll be comforted and that you’ll obtain Mercy from God.” The Pope was unable to say more. The curate and all those present knelt and said an Our Father, then the following Prayers:
- Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Son of God and Son of the Virgin Mary, God and Man, Thou who in fear sweated blood for us on the Mount of Olives in order to bring peace, and to offer Thy Most Holy Death to God, Thy Heavenly Father, for the salvation of this dying person…if it be, however, that by his sins he merits eternal damnation, then may it be deflected from him. This, O Eternal Father through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Dear Son, Who liveth and reigneth in union with the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
- Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who meekly died on the trunk of the Cross for us, submitting Thy Will completely to Thy Heavenly Father in order to bring peace and to offer Thy most Holy Death to Thy Heavenly Father in order to free…(this person)… and to hide from him what he has earned with his sins; grant this, O Eternal Father! Through Our Lord, Jesus, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in union with the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
- Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Who remained silent to speak through the mouths of the Prophets: I have drawn Thee to me through Eternal Love, which Love drew Thee from Heaven into the body of the Virgin, which Love drew Thee from the body of the Virgin into the valley of this needful world, which Love kept Thee 33 years in this world, and as a sign of Great Love, Thou hast given Thy Holy Body as True Food and Thy Holy Blood as True Drink, as a sign of Great Love, Thou has consented to be a prisoner and to be led from one judge to another and as a sign of Great Love Thou hast consented to be condemned to death, and hast consented to die and to be buried and truly risen, and appeared to Thy Holy Mother and all the Holy Apostles, and as a sign of Great Love Thou hast ascended, under Thy own Strength and Power, and sitteth at the Right Hand of God, Thy Heavenly Father, and Thou has sent Thy Holy Spirit into the hearts of Thy Apostles and the hearts of all who hope and believe in Thee. Through Thy Sign of Eternal Love, open Heaven today and take this dying person…and all his sins into the Realm of Thy Heavenly Father, that he may reign with Thee now and forever. Amen.
Meanwhile the Pope died. The curate persevered to the third hour, then the Pope appeared to him in body and comforted him. His countenance as brilliant as the sun, his clothes as white as snow, he said: “My dear brother! Whereas I was supposed to be a child of damnation, I’ve become a child of happiness. As you recited the first Prayer, many of my sins fell from me as rain from Heaven, and as you recited the second Prayer, I was purified, as a goldsmith purifies gold in a hot fire. I was still further purified as you recited the third Prayer. Then I saw Heaven open and the Lord, Jesus, standing on the Right Hand of God the Father Who said to me: “Come, all thy sins are forgiven thee, you’ll be and remain in the Realm of My Father forever. Amen!”
With these words, my soul separated from my body and the Angels of God led it to Eternal Joy.
As the curate heard this, he said: “O Holy Father! I can’t tell these things to anyone, for they won’t believe me.” Then the Pope said: “Truly I tell thee, the Angel of God stands with me and has written the prayers in letters of gold for the consolation of all sinners. If a person had committed all the sins in the world, but that the three Prayers shall have been read (over him) at his end (death), all his sins will be forgiven him, even though his soul was supposed to suffer until the Last Judgment, it will be redeemed (freed).
