  Our Lady of Angels Prayer
  
  Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us together and calling us to serve as your disciples.
  You have charged us through your Son, Jesus, with the great mission of evangelizing and witnessing your love to the world.
  Send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we discern your will for the spiritual renewal of our parish.
  Give us strength, courage, and clear vision as we use our gifts to serve you.
  We entrust our parish family to the care of Mary, our mother, and ask for her intercession and guidance as we strive to build a parish that loves God, embraces all people, and shares the Gospel joyfully.
  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.

- Nicene Creed
  I believe in one God,
  the Father almighty,
  maker of heaven and earth,
  of all things visible and invisible.
  
  I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
  the Only Begotten Son of God,
  born of the Father before all ages.
  God from God, Light from Light,
  true God from true God,
  begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
  through him all things were made.
  For us men and for our salvation
  he came down from heaven,
  and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
  and became man.
  
  For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
  he suffered death and was buried,
  and rose again on the third day
  in accordance with the Scriptures.
  He ascended into heaven
  and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
  He will come again in glory
  to judge the living and the dead
  and his kingdom will have no end.
  
  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
  who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
  who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
  who has spoken through the prophets.
  
  I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
  I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
  and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
  and the life of the world to come.
  
  Amen.
- Apostle's Creed
  I believe in God,
  the Father almighty,
  Creator of heaven and earth,
  and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
  who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
  born of the Virgin Mary,
  suffered under Pontius Pilate,
  was crucified, died and was buried;
  he descended into hell;
  on the third day he rose again from the dead;
  he ascended into heaven,
  and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
  from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
  
  I believe in the Holy Spirit,
  the holy catholic Church,
  the communion of saints,
  the forgiveness of sins,
  the resurrection of the body,
  and life everlasting.
  
  Amen.
- Act of Contrition
  O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
- Anima Christi
  Soul of Christ, be my sanctification.
  Body of Christ, be my salvation.
  Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.
  Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains.
  Passion of Christ, my comfort be.
  O good Jesu, listen to me.
  In Thy wounds I fain would hide,
  Ne’er to be parted from Thy side,
  Guard me, should the foe assail me.
  Call me when my life shall fail me.
  Bid me come to Thee above,
  With Thy saints to sing Thy love,
  World without end.
  
  Amen.
- Divine Praises

Marian Prayers
- How to Pray the Rosary
  The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer. It begins with the Apostles' Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels. The first part of the Hail Mary is the angel's words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The Mysteries of the Rosary center on the events of Christ's life. There are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and––added by Saint John Paul II in 2002––the Luminous.
  
  Praying the Rosady
  
  Make the Sign of the Cross.
  
  Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles' Creed.
  
  On the first bead, say an Our Father.
  
  Say one Hail Mary on each of the next three beads.
  
  Say the Glory Be
  
  For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery (perhaps followed by a brief reading from Scripture) then say the Our Father.
  
  While fingering each of the ten beads of the decade, next say ten Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery. Then say a Glory Be.
  (After finishing each decade, some say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.)
  
  After saying the five decades, say the Hail, Holy Queen, followed by this dialogue and prayer:
  V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
  R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
  Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son, by his life, Death, and Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech thee, that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
  
  Conclude the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross.
- Hail Mary
  Hail Mary,
  full of grace,
  the 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.
- Hail, Holy Queen (The Salve Regina)
  Hail, Holy Queen,
  Mother of mercy,
  our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
  
  To thee do we cry,
  poor banished children of Eve.
  
  To thee do we send up our sighs,
  mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
  
  Turn then, most gracious advocate,
  thine eyes of mercy towards us.
  
  And after this our exile,
  show unto us the blessed Fruit of the womb, Jesus.
  
  O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
  Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
  
  Amen.
- Memorare
  Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
  that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
  implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
  
  Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee,
  O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
  
  To thee do I come,
  before thee I stand,
  sinful and sorrowful.
  
  O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
  despise not my petitions,
  but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
  
  Amen.
- Angelus
  V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
  
  R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
  
  Hail, Mary, full of grace, the 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.
  
  V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
  
  R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
  
  Hail Mary...
  
  V. And the Word was made flesh.
  
  R. And dwelt among us.
  
  Hail Mary...
  
  Let us pray:
  Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection. Through the same Christ, our Lord.
  
  Amen.

- Prayer to Guardian Angel
  Angel of God,
  my guardian dear,
  to whom God’s love commits me here;
  ever this day (or night) be at my side,
  to light and guard,
  to rule and guide.
  
  Amen.
- Prayer to St. Michael
  St. 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,
  thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits
  who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
  
  Amen.
- Prayer to St. Anthony
  Blessed St. Anthony,
  you are the gentlest of saints,
  your love for God and charity for His creatures
  made you worthy, when on earth,
  to possess miraculous powers.
  Miracles waited on your word,
  which you were ever ready to speak
  for those in trouble or anxiety.
  Encouraged by this thought,
  I implore you to obtain for me (mention your request here).
  
  The answer to my prayer may require a miracle;
  even so you are the Saint of Miracles.
  O gentle, and loving saint,
  whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,
  intercede for me to Jesus.
  You, who so loved the word of God
  and are a Doctor of the Gospel,
  ask that “it be done to me according to His word,”
  and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.
  
  or
  
  St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus,
  who received from God the special power
  of restoring lost things,
  grant that I may find (mention your petition)
  which has been lost.
  At least restore to me peace
  and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted
  me even more than my material loss.
  To this favor I ask another of you:
  that I may always remain in possession
  of the true good that is God.
  Let me rather lose all things than lose God,
  my supreme good.
  Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure,
  eternal life with God.
  
  Amen.
- Prayer to St. Jude
  Glorious St. Jude,
  with faith in your goodness,
  we ask your help today.
  s one of Christ’s chosen apostles,
  you remain a pillar
  and foundation of His Church on earth.
  You are counted, we know,
  among the elders who always stand before God’s throne.
  
  From your place of glory we know
  you do not forget the needs
  and difficulties of Christ’s little ones here, still struggling,
  like me, on the way home to God.
  Please intercede for us all, gracious St. Jude,
  and be with us in our daily toil and in our necessities.
  
  In Christ’s name, we appeal to you again today.
  
  Amen.
