PRAYERS
The Our Father Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed by They Name.
Thy Kingdom come. They Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
St Michael's Prayer
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defence against the wickeness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
The Miracle Prayer - By Fr Peter Rookey
In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me.
I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works.
I give You my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever,
I invite You into my life, Jesus.
I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.
Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit.
Come, Lord Jesus, cover me with Your precious blood,
and fill me with Your Holy Spirit,
I love You, Jesus. I praise You, Jesus. I thank You, Jesus.
I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.
Mary, My Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints, please help me. Amen.Say this prayer faithfully, no matter how you feel. When you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word with all your heart, Jesus will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see.
Act Of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments,
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 sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

Make us, O Lord, to have a perpetual fear and love of Your holy name, for You never fail to govern those whom You establish in Your love. You, Who live and reign forever and ever. Amen
An old and popular form of prayer in honor of the Name of Jesus. The author is not known. At the request of the Carmelites, Pope Sixtus V (1585-90) granted an indulgence of 300 days for its recitation. Though this was an implied recognition of the litany, requests made in 1640, 1642, and 1662, for formal approval were rejected. In 1862 Pius IX approved one of the formularies in use, and attached an indulgence of 300 days for the faithful of the dioceses whose bishops had made special application. Pope Leo XIII on Jan. 16, 1886 extended the privilege to the entire world.
