St. Maria Faustina
A Prayer to be Merciful
Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbor’s soul. Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbor’s needs.
Help me, O lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor.
Help me, O lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbor. Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful, so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor.
May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me. Amen.

A Prayer of Saint
Francis of Assisi
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, and 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.
E734-311
Prayer for my Pet
In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God, when You created the Universe You blessed us with all living creatures. We especially thank You for giving us our pets who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life. Their presence very often helps us get through trying times. Kindly bless my pet. May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me of Your power.
May we realize that as our pets trust us to take care of them, so we should trust You to take care of us, and in taking care of them we share in Your love for all Your creatures. Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species so that we may continue to appreciate all of Your creations.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Novena Prayer in Honor of
St. Francis Xavier
O Great Saint Francis, well beloved and full of charity, with thee I reverently adore the Divine Majesty; and since I specially rejoice in the singular gifts of grace bestowed on thee in life, and of glory after death, I give thanks to God and beg of thee, with all the affection of my heart that by thy powerful intercession thou mayest obtain for me above all things the grace to live a holy life and die a holy death.
Moreover, I beg of thee to obtain for me (here insert some special spiritual or temporal favor); but if what I ask does not tend to the glory of God and the greater good of my soul, do thou, I beseech thee, obtain for me what will more certainly attain these ends. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, etc.. Indulgence 300 days

Saint Gabriel Prayer
O God,
who from among
all your angels chose the Archangel Gabriel
to announce the mystery of the Incarnation, mercifully grant that
we who solemnly remember him on earth may feel the benefit of his patronage in heaven,
who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to
Saint Genesius
Dear Genesius, according to a very ancient story, when you were still a pagan, you once ridiculed Christ while acting on the stage. But, like Saul on the road to Damascus, you were floored by Christ’s powerful grace. You rose bearing witness to Jesus and died a great martyr’s death. Intercede for your fellow actors before God that they may faithfully and honestly perform their roles and so help others to understand their role in life and thus enabling them to attain their end in heaven.
Amen.
E734-447

Saint Gregory
the Great’s Easter Prayer
It is only right,
with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You Father
and Your Only-begotten Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ:
Dear Father, by Your wondrous Condescension of loving-kindness toward us,
Your servants, You gave up Your Son. Dear Jesus You paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by
Your Blood poured
forth in loving-kindness.
You cleared away the darkness of sin By Your magnificent
and radiant Resurrection.
You broke the bonds of death
and rose from the grave as a Conqueror. You reconciled heaven and earth.
Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before You redeemed us.
Your Resurrection has
washed away our sins,
restored our innocence
and brought us joy.
How inestimable is the tenderness
of Your love!

St. Hubert
Great St. Hubert, you were passionate about hunting,
but when touched by Divine Grace, you put down your bow and took up the collar of Priesthood.

Our Lord.
Moved by your example,
I implore your help.
I ask for the Grace to follow in your footsteps and become a passionate disciple of Christ. Amen.

Prayer in honor of
St. Dymphna
Lord Jesus Christ, You have willed that St. Dymphna should be invoked by thousands of clients as the patroness of nervous and mental disease and have brought it about that her interest in these patients should be an inspiration to and an ideal of charity throughout the world. Grant that, through the prayers of this youthful martyr of purity, those who suffer from nervous and mental illness everywhere on earth may be helped and consoled. I reccomend to You in particular (Here mention those you wish to pray for) Be pleased to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna and of Your Blessed Mother. Give those whom I recommend the patience to bear with their affliction and resignation to do Your divine will. Give them the consolation they need and especially the cure they so much deisre, if it be Your will. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

their time in the service of God our Lord. Amen.
