Daily Prayer Archive

O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Queen of the World, rule over us,
together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King.
Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism;
kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity,
the practice of a virtuous life,
an ardent zeal for souls,
and a desire to pray the rosary more faithfully.

O St. Rose,
first flower of sanctity in the New World,
let the fragrance of Your virtues diffuse itself in our lives.
Grant that we may imitate Your holy purity;
obtain for us courage in the practice of penance.
Teach us, O St. Rose,
to love Christ Crucified and Mary His Mother.
Beseech Your Divine Spouse,
to bless all the Americas,
which give thanks for Your glory to Him,
the Giver of all good gifts.

Amen.

Glorious St. Joseph,
model of all those who are devoted to labor,
obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously,
putting the call of duty above my many sins;
to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honor to employ and develop,
by means of labor, the gifts received from God;
to work with order, peace, prudence and patience;
to work, above all, with purity of intention.
All for Jesus, all for Mary,
all after Your example,
O Patriarch Joseph.
Such shall be my motto in life and death.

O Mother of mercy,
beg your divine Son to have mercy on me.
Atone for my failings,
offering Him on my behalf all the love
and glory you ever gave Him,
to satisfy for my neglect
in loving and glorifying Him.
Grant that I may share
in your surpassing love for him,
and in the fidelity of that great eternal love.
Pray for me,
that He may give me the grace to begin,
at least now, to love Him perfectly,
and that all that shall take place
during this year, and all my life,
may be consecrated to His glory and your honor.

Hail Mary, Daughter of God the Father;
Hail Mary, Mother of God the Son;

Hail Mary, white Lilly of the resplendent and ever
unchanging Trinity.

Hail Mary, Virgin full of sweetness and humility,
from whom the King of Heaven willed to be
born and to suckle at the breast.

Hail Mary, Queen of martyrs, who spent
Your life for Heaven while on this earth.
Hail Mary, Queen of my heart, my sweetness,
my life and my entire hope.
Hail Mary, Mother most amiable.

You are full of grace,
the Lord is with You;
O Blessed Virgin, bless us all, in the Name of Your dear Son.

Father in heaven,
all creation rightly gives you praise,
for all life and all holiness come from you.
In the plan of your wisdom
she who bore the Christ in her womb
was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.
May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness
and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Mary, Virgin and Mother,
shows us what love is and where it draws its origin
and its constantly renewed power.
To her we entrust the Church and her mission
in the service of love:

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
you have given the world its true light,
Jesus, your Son - the Son of God.
You abandoned yourself completely
to God's call and this became a wellspring
of the goodness which flows forth from him.
Show us Jesus. Lead us to him.
Teach us to know and love him,
so that we too can become capable of true love
and be fountains of living water
in the midst of a thirsting world.
