The Apostles Creed
(Prayer on the Rosary Crucifix)

     'I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried.  He descended into hell;
but on the third day He arose again from the dead;  He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall 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 dead, and life everlasting.
Amen'
The Hail, Holy Queen or 
Salve Regina

    'Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we come, 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 thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.

     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 meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain to what they promise, through same Christ Our Lord.  Amen'
St. Michael's Prayer

Be our Protection against

An Act of Spiritual Communion
(It is of great spiritual benefit)

'My Jesus, I believe that You 
are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, 
and I long for You in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You 
sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart
as though You have already come.
I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You;
never permit me to be separated from You.'
Act of Contrition

"O, My God, I am heartly sorry 
for having offended Thee. 
I detest all my sins, 
because I dread the loss of Heaven, 
and the pains of Hell. 
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 confess my sins, to do penance, 
and to amend my life.   Amen" 
Grace Before Meals

'Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts which we are about to receive from Thy bounty through
Christ our Lord.  Amen.'
Morning Offering Prayer
(Fulfilling one of the requests of Our Lady of Fatima)

'O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day; in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass said throughout the world today for the love of thee, for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, for the conversion of sinners, for the poor suffering souls in Purgatory, in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Your Sacred Heart.
Amen.
Prayer For Daily Neglects
(said before bed)

Eternal Father, I offer you the Sacred Heart of your Most Beloved Son and our Lord Jesus Christ, with all it's Love, with all it's Sufferings, with all it's Merits,

First to expiate all the sins I've committed this day and during all my life...Glory Be...

Second, to purify the good I've done badly this day and during all my life...Glory Be...

And Third, to supply for the good I ought to have done but neglected this day and during all my life...
Glory Be...

Amen.

A Poor Clare nun, who had just died, appeared to her abbess, who was praying for her soul, and said to her, "I went straight to heaven, for, by means of this prayer, recited every evening, I paid my debts." (This prayer, or any other is not meant to, or can replace the necessity of having to go to Confession)

R. And dwelt among us.
...Hail Mary

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

Fatima Sacrifice Offering Prayer
Our Lady of Fatima asked the little shepherd children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice: 

“O my Jesus, I offer this for the love of Thee,
for the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for all the sins
committed against
The Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Amen."

The angel appeared to them again in mid-summer and said, 

      "...What are you doing?  Pray! Pray!
The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs upon you.
Offer constantly to the Almighty prayers and sacrifices ."

"But how can we accomplish this?"  Lucia asked.

     "...Of everything you possibly can, offer a sacrifice, to atone for the sins that offend Him and to implore the conversion of sinners. In this way you will obtain peace for your country.  I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal.
Above all, accept and humbly endure the sufferings the Lord sends you."
The 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 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'
Fatima Eucharist Reparation Prayer
Again the angel appeared to them in the fall, this time bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. Drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice.  The angel left the Host and chalice suspended in the air, and kneeling next to the children, told them to repeat three times:

    "Oh Blessed Trinity ~ Father, Son, Holy Spirit
~ I adore Thee reverently and offer the
Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles
of the world, to atone for the insults, profanities, and indifferences which offend Him.
And for the infinite merits of His Sacred Heart and of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I implore the conversion of poor sinners."
Angel of Peace Prayer
"Fear not, I am the Angel of Peace.  Pray with me." 
Kneeling on the ground, he bowed till he touched it with his forehead, and told the Fatima children to repeat three times: 

     "My God, I believe, I hope, I adore, and I love Thee.  I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee."

After this he rose and said:

"Pray like this.  The Hearts of Jesus and Mary
are attentive to your prayers."

“The Rosary  and the Scapular are inseparable.”

Today, motherhood is not even considered a goal in life.
Abortion is all too common evil in our selfish culture.
But motherhood is the most precious and life-giving
of all occupations.

Motherhood:  from where all life finds its beginning.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT

Abortion may seem like an easy solution now
in making a unwelcome baby go away...
but the after-effects of an abortion
never go away
 

Do the right thing
 

God will bless you...
And your little one will love you for it.
