Our Father

The Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit
Source of all wisdom and knowledge,
Guide me by Your Light,
Teach me what I should say and do,
Fill my heart with Your Love
so I may reflect Your Love
to everyone I meet. Amen

Say the name Jesus

The saints had a secret. They were always aware of God's presence.

Say the name, “Jesus” often, as you would say a friend’s name. Use the name, “Jesus” to drive away fear, to rescue from temptation, to banish loneliness and to conquer your faults.

When you tenderly say the name, “Jesus”, God Himself hears and quickly attends to you.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of grace

Consecration to Mary the Mother of God

My Queen! My Mother! I give myself entirely to you, and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve.

Therefore, good Mother, as I am yours, keep me and guard me as your property and possession.
