PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS

O Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, unity; where there is doubt, faith; where there is error, truth; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may seek: not so much to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

I CONFESS TO ALMIGHTY GOD

I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.  

Below is a Prayer from another one of God’s messengers, Sister Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio. Her most important legacy to us is the Message of the Father,“The Father speaks to His children”, the only private revelation made personally by God the Father and recognized as authentic by the Church after ten years of the most rigorous examination.

                                                    God is my Father 

My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am Your child!

Especially when the skies of my soul are cloudy and my cross weighs more heavily, I feel the need to repeat to You: Father, I believe in Your love for me!

Yes, I believe that You are a Father to me at every moment of my life, and that I am Your child!

I believe that You love me with an infinite love!

I believe that You are watching over me night and day and that not a hair falls from my head without Your permission!

I believe that, in Your Infinite Wisdom, You know better than I what is good for me.

I believe that, in Your Infinite power, You can bring good even out of evil.

I believe that, in Your Infinite goodness, You make everything to the advantage of those who love You; even under the hands of those who strike me I kiss Your hand which heals!

I believe, but increase in me faith, hope and love!

Teach me always to see Your love as my guide in every event of my life.

Teach me to surrender myself to You like a baby in its mother’s arms.

Father, You know everything, You see everything, you know me better than I know myself; You can do everything, and You love me!

My Father, since it is Your wish that we should always turn to You, I come with confidence to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary… (here request the favour that you desire).

For this intention, and uniting myself to their Most Sacred Hearts, I offer You all my prayers, my sacrifices and mortifications, all my actions, and greater faithfulness to my duties. (If this prayer it to be recited as a novena, add: “I promise to be more generous, especially during these nine days, in a given circumstance, to such and such a person….”).

Give me the light, the grace and the power of the Holy Spirit!

Strengthen me in this Spirit, that I may never lose Him, never sadden Him and never allow Him to become weaker in me.

My Father, I ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son!

And You, Jesus, open Your Heart and place in it my own, and, together with Mary’s, offer it to our Divine Father! Obtain for me the grace that I need!

Divine Father, call all men to Yourself. Let all the world proclaim Your Fatherly goodness and Your Divine Mercy!

Be a tender Father to me and protect me wherever I am, like the apple of Your eye. Make me always a worthy son/daughter; have mercy on me!

Divine Father, sweet hope of our souls, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men!

Divine Father, Infinite goodness poured out on all peoples, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men!

Divine Father, beneficent dew of humanity, may You be known, honoured and loved by all men!

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY

The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES, the five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, the five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, and the five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES.

As suggested by the Pope St. John Paul the Great, the Joyful mysteries are said on Monday and Saturday, the Luminous on Thursday, the Sorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, and the Glorious on Wednesday and Sunday (with this exception: Sundays of Christmas season – The Joyful; Sundays of Lent – Sorrowful).

1. With the Cross, Make the Sign of the Cross and say the “Apostles’ Creed.”
2. With the First Bead, Say the “Our Father.”
3. With the next Three Beads, Say three “Hail Mary’s and then Glory be to the Father.”
4. With the next Bead, Announce the First Mystery; then say the “Our Father.”
5. Say ten “Hail Marys,” while meditating on the Mystery and then Say the “Glory be to the Father.”
6. With the next individual Bead Announce the Second Mystery; then say the “Our Father.”

Repeat 5 and 6 and continue with Third, Fourth and Fifth Mysteries in the same manner.

At the end of Praying the Rosary you Pray the “Hail, Holy Queen” prayer.

Jesus celebrated the first Mass. “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer”. Jesus took bread, blessed it and said “Take and eat, this is My Body.”
Taking the wine He said “Take and drink, this cup is the New Covenant in My Blood, shed for you.”

The First Sorrowful Mystery THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN

Jesus suffers in the Garden of Gethsemane. “My soul is sorrowful unto death.”

The Second Sorrowful Mystery “THE SCOURGING AT THE PILLAR”

Pilate can “find no cause to punish Him”, yet to appease the Jews, he orders Jesus to be scourged. Jesus is bound to a pillar and cruelly scourged until His whole body is covered with deep wounds. The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: “He was wounded for our iniquities, He was bruised for our sins.” 

The Third Sorrowful Mystery “THE CROWNING WITH THORNS”

They fashion a crown out of thorns, and forcefully pressed it down upon His head. In His bound hands they place a reed, as a sceptre, in mockery of His kingship. Pilate asks, “Are You a king?” Jesus answers: “I Am, but My kingdom is not of this world.”

The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery “THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS”

One condemned to death by crucifixion is forced to carry the cross to the place of execution. Jesus carries His Cross to Calvary.

Father, by the merits of the crucifixion and death of Jesus, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

The First Glorious Mystery “THE RESURRECTION”

The body of Jesus is placed in the tomb on the evening of Good Friday. Fearing the body of Jesus will be taken, the chief priests place guards at the tomb. On the third day Jesus rises from the dead, glorious and immortal. The women coming to anoint the body of Jesus are amazed and frightened to find the tomb open. An angel calms their fears: “He is not here. He has risen as He said.” Jesus appears to Mary Magdalen, and that evening He appears to the apostles behind locked doors: “Peace be unto you… do not be afraid.”

The Second Glorious Mystery “THE ASCENSION”

Jesus remains on earth forty days after His Resurrection to prove He has truly risen from the dead. He commissions the apostles to preach the gospel to every creature, and promises to be with them forever. He will not leave them orphans, but will send the Holy Spirit to enlighten and strengthen them. Extending His pierced hands over all in a last blessing, He ascends into heaven to take His place at the right hand of the Father.

The Third Glorious Mystery “THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT”

The apostles are gathered in the upper room where Jesus had held the Last Supper. They are in prayer with Our Blessed Mother Mary when a sound comes from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it fills the whole house.

That first day Peter goes forth to preach and baptizes three thousand.

The Fourth Glorious Mystery “THE ASSUMPTION”

After the apostles have dispersed, the Blessed Mother goes to live with John, the beloved disciple. Mary lives many years on earth after the death of Christ. She is a source of comfort, consolation and strength to the apostles. As she had nourished the infant Jesus, so she nourishes spiritually the infant Church. Mary dies, not of bodily infirmity, but is wholly overcome in a rapture of divine love. Her body as well as her soul is taken up into heaven.

The Fifth Glorious Mystery “THE CORONATION”

Mary is crowned by her divine Son as Queen of heaven and earth. More than we can ever know the Hearts of Jesus and Mary overflow with joy at this reunion. Only in heaven will we know the great majesty of that coronation, and the joy it gave to the angels and saints. Even the angels, who by nature are greater than humans, hail Mary as their Queen. Mary pleads our cause as a most powerful Queen and a most merciful and loving Mother.
“A great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars”.
