• Prayer for Generosity

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Lord, teach me to be generous.

  Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

  To toil and not to seek for rest,

  To labor and not to ask for reward,

  Save that of knowing that I do your will.

  St. Michael the Archangel,
  defend us in battle;
  be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

  by the power of God, cast into hell
  Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

• Prayer of Saint Francis

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
  where there is hatred, let me sow love;
  where there is injury, pardon;
  where there is doubt, faith;
  where there is despair, hope;
  where there is darkness, light;
  where there is sadness, joy.

  O divine Master,
  grant that I may not so much seek 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.

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

  Take, Lord, and receive
  all my liberty, my memory,
  my understanding, and my entire will,
  All I have and call my own.
  You have given all to me.
  To you, Lord, I return it.
  Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
  Give me only your love and your grace,
  that is enough for me.

• Memorare

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
  that never was it known
  that anyone who fled to thy protection,
  implored thy help,
  or sought thine 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.

• Prayer for Vocations

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  O Father, raise up among Christians
  abundant and holy vocations to the priesthood
  who will keep the faith alive
  and guard the blessed memory of your Son Jesus
  through the preaching of his word
  and the administration of the Sacraments,
  with which you continually renew your faithful.

  Grant us holy ministers of your altar,
  who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist,
  the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ
  for the redemption of the world.

  Call ministers of your mercy,
  who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation,
  spread the joy of your forgiveness.

  Grant, O Father, that the Church may welcome with joy
  the numerous inspirations of the Spirit of your Son
  and, docile to His teachings,
  may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood
  and to the consecrated life.

  Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons,
  consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ,
  so that they may faithfully fulfill their mission
  at the service of the Gospel.

  We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

  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 Thy wounds hide me.
  Separated from Thee let me never be.
  From the malignant enemy, defend me.
  At the hour of death, call me.
  And close to Thee bid me.
  That with Thy saints I may praise Thee,
  forever and ever. Amen.
