🙏 Parish Prayer

R: We place all our trust in you, O Lord!

All: May we never be confounded.

All: Almighty Lord and Father, we thank you for your goodness and love towards us. Continue to bind us together as we work in this Parish. Give our homes true love, understanding and peace. Keep our children from bad friends, addiction to drugs, alcohol and all sorts of immorality.

Loving Father, console those praying for the gift of children; grant safe delivery to pregnant women. May young men and women who have reached the age of marriage find genuine life partners.

Heavenly Father, let all boys and girls know the value of education. May they gain admission into higher institutions and graduate with flying colours. May job seekers find employment, and may all workers use their resources meaningfully.

Protect all of us from the menaces and manipulations of the wicked ones. May we all have hearts filled with love, peace, and forgiveness. Be pleased with the sacrifices and prayers offered by our priests, and grant eternal rest to our departed parishioners.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.</p

🙏 Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your Son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, pilgrims of hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen.

🙏 PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

✝️ PRAYER BEFORE COMMUNION

I believe, O Lord, and I confess that Thou art truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who comes into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

And I believe that this is Thy pure Body and Thy own precious Blood. Therefore, I pray Thee, have mercy on me and forgive my transgressions — voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, known and unknown — and grant that I may partake of Thy holy mysteries without condemnation, for the remission of sins and for life eternal.

Amen.

🙏 PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

Oh Jesus, I am not worthy to receive You, and yet You have come to me that my poor heart may learn of You, to be meek and humble.

I give You my body that it may be chaste and pure; I give You my soul that it may be free from sin. I give You my heart that it may always love You. I give You every breath that I shall breathe, and especially my last. I give You myself in life and in death, that I may be Yours forever and ever.

Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus… have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary… pray for us.
St. John Paul… pray for us.
Archangels… defend us (3x)

O St. Joseph, faithful guardian of our Lord Jesus Christ, protector of the Holy Family, we humbly beseech your intercession. Shield us from the danger of sudden death, and obtain for us the grace to live each day in readiness for our final encounter with God.

Through your powerful intercession, may we be granted a holy and peaceful death, and be united with Jesus and Mary in eternal glory.

Amen.

🔥 PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR PROTECTION

Come, Holy Spirit, and fill our hearts with Your light and strength. Protect us from the perils of sudden death and grant us the grace to live each day in holiness and virtue. Guide us in making choices that align with God’s will.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

St. Andrew Avellino… pray for us.
St. Christopher… pray for us.

💰 TITHE PRAYER

Almighty God, You have said that anyone who does not work must not eat. You bless all those who labor so that they will prosper. You have commanded that we should give tithe so that there will be plenty of provisions in Your house.

Lord, let my tithe be pleasing to You and let it become a covenant of blessing between You and me, between You and my work, between You and my family, and between You and my future.

Lord, let my tithe be a testimony of thanksgiving to You for what I received from You last month. Be with me this month and provide for me even more than You did before.

Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
