Saints Peter and Paul

Prayer to Sts. Peter and Paul for the Holy Catholic Church
 

Defend, O Lord, thy servants, we beseech thee, from all dangers both of body and soul; and, by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, of blessed N., and of all thy saints, mercifully grant us the blessings of peace and safety ; that all adversities and errors being removed, thy Church may freely and securely serve thee; through Christ Our Lord. 

Amen.

Saint Catherine Laboure

Whenever I go to the chapel, 

I put myself in the presence of our good Lord, and I say to him

"Lord, I am here.

Tell me what you would have me do."

If he gives me some task, 

I am content and I thank him.

If he gives me nothing,

I still thank him

since I do not deserve to receive anything more than that.

And then, I tell God

everything that is in my heart.

I tell him about my pains and my joys,

and then I listen.

If you listen, God will also speak to you,

for with the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen.

God always speaks to you

when you approach him plainly and simply.

Saint Catherine

Mary, Comforter of the Afflicted

O Immaculate Mary, Dear Mother, Consoler, I take refuge in your most lovable Heart with all the trust of which I am capable. You shall be dearest object of my love and my veneration. From you, the dispenser of heavenly treasures, I shall always seek peace in my troubles, light in my doubts, defense in my dangers, help in my needs .




Be therefore my refuge my strength, my consolation O Mary Consoler. At the hour of my death, graciously receive the last beats of my heart, and obtain for me a place in that heavenly country, where as one, all hearts shall praise forever the adorable Heart of Jesus, with your most lovable Heart, O Mary, my Mother, Consoler of the Afflicted, pray for us, who have recourse to you.




 Amen.
