Galatians 6:8

Our Lady of Mount Carmel

With loving provident care, O Mother Most Amiable, you covered us with your Scapular as a shield of defense against the Evil One. Through your assistance, may we bravely struggle against the powers of evil, always open to your Son Jesus Christ. Amen

Baby Jesus

Christ was born in the first century,

yet he belongs to all centuries.

He was born a Jew,

yet He belongs to all races.

He was born in Bethlehem,

yet He belongs to all countries.

Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,

For whom it is impossible

not to have compassion on the afflicted,

Have pity on us miserable sinners

And grant us the grace

Which we ask of you,

Through the Sorrowful And

Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Your tender Mother and ours.

Amen

Psalm 56:14

Jesus Loves the Animals

“God said,

See, I have given you every

plant yielding seed that is upon

the face of all the earth,

and every tree with seed in its fruit;

you shall have them for food.

And to every beast of the earth,

and to every bird of the air,

and to everything that creeps on the earth,

everything that has

the breath of life,

I have given

every green plant

for food.

And it was so.

God saw everything

that he had made,

and indeed, it was very good.”

Genesis 1:29-31

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

"O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee."

Tu Es Sacerdos

"Lord, fill with the gift of the Holy Spirit him whom you have deigned to raise to the rank of the priesthood, that he may be worthy to stand without reproach before your altar, to proclaim the Gospel of your kingdom, to fulfill the ministry of your word of truth, to offer you spiritual gifts and sacrifices, to renew your people by the bath of rebirth; so that he may go out to meet our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, your only Son, on the day of his second coming, and may receive from your vast goodness the recompense for a faithful administration of his order."

Prayer of the Byzantine Rite

Holy Orders
