The Infant Jesus

O Jesus, born of Virgin Bright,

Immortal glory be to Thee,

Praise to the Father, infinite,

And Holy Ghost eternally.

I Will Carry My Cross

O Jesus, whosoever does not take up his cross and follow Thee, is not worthy of Thee. Behold, I cheerfully join Thee on the way of the cross. I desire to carry it with all patience until death, that I may prove worthy of Thee.

Glory to God in the Highest

"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

Luke 2:1-14

The Nativity

Let the just rejoice,

for their justifier is born.

Let the sick and infirm rejoice,

For their saviour is born.

Let the captives rejoice,

For their Redeemer is born.

Let slaves rejoice,

for their Master is born.

Let free men rejoice,

For their Liberator is born.

Let All Christians rejoice,

For Jesus Christ is born.

St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-440)

Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity, Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech thee from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (say three times). Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (say three times). Amen.

Sacred Heart of Mary

Most Blessed Mother,

Heart of love, heart of mercy,

Ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer.

As your children,

We implore your intercession with Jesus your Son.

Receive with understanding and compassion

The petitions we place before you today,

Especially ... (special intention).

We are comforted in knowing

Your heart is ever open to those Who ask for your prayer.

We trust to your gentle care and intercession,

Those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting.

Help all of us, Holy Mother,

To bear our burdens in this life

Until we may share eternal life

And peace with God forever.

A Prayer To Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe,

Mystical Rose,

make intercession for holy Church,

protect the sovereign Pontiff,

help all those who invoke you in their necessities,

and since you are the ever Virgin Mary

and Mother of the true God,

obtain for us from your most holy Son

the grace of keeping our faith,

of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life

of burning charity, and the precious gift

of final perseverance.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE UNBORN Heavenly Father, You created us in Your own image, and You desire that not even the least among us should perish. In Your love for us, You entrusted Your only Son to the Holy Virgin Mary. Now, in Your love, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those little ones to whom You have given the gift of life. Amen

Nuestra Senora de los Desamparados

Nuestra Senora de los Desamparados

"Oh Virgen y reina del Santo Rosario, te rogamos que te dignes a escuchar nuestra plegaria. Tu que eres la intercesora de los desamparados. Cuida de esta pobre criatura para que ayudado por el corazón de tu Divino Hijo, encuentre en esta vida los consuelos y apoyos necesarios para salir adelante. Lo que te pedimos por tus dolores y sufrimientos pasados junto a tu Hijo en el Calvario. Amén"

Notre Dame de Sacre'-Coeur

O Dieu, qui avez voulu pour le triomphe de votre miséricorde et le salut de nos âmes, donner à Marie, Vierge immaculée, un pouvoir ineffable sur le Coeur de Jésus, accordez-nous, par ses prières et ses mérites, la grâce de vivre et de mourir dans votre saint amour. Nous vous le demandons par le même Jésus-Christ Notre-Seigneur. Ainsi soit-il.
