Catholic Prayers

Here is a short Prayer to be recited at the Time of Death of any Near and Dear Ones. We can pray faithfully for the departed soul for it’s eternal rest.

O Loving Father and Savior, send your angels to carry the soul of your servant from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with the departed. Forgive any wrongs that have been committed and welcome this beloved spirit into the warm embrace of your unending peace. Amen.

O Lord, our Creator, you imposed a duty on all human beings to work together to build up the world. Help us to develop the earth by the work of  our hands and with the aid of technology, in order that it may bear fruit and become a dwelling place worthy of the whole human family. When we do this or consciously take part in the life of social groups, we are carrying out your plan manifested at the beginning of time that we should subdue the earth, perfect creation, and develop ourselves. Let us realize that we are also obeying Christ’s command to place ourselves at the service of others in bringing forth a more human world, through your Son Jesus Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd (Name the Pope) a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen

St. Sebastian is often known as the saint who was martyred twice. He was ordered by the Roman Emperor to be shot by archers with arrows. Miraculously, the arrows did not kill him. The Emperor then had him beaten to death. He is Patron Saint of Athletes because of his physical endurance and his energetic way of spreading and defending the Faith. St. Sebastian is also patron to all soldiers. He was declared patron of plague sufferers of his reported cures of those afflicted with many diseases.

Dear Commander at the Roman Emperor’s Court, you chose to be also a soldier of Christ and dared to spread faith in the King of Kings – for which you were condemned to die. Your body, however, proved athletically strong and the executing arrows extremely weak. So another means to kill you was chosen and you gave your life to the Lord. May athletes be always as strong in their faith as their Paton Saint so clearly has been. Amen

O my God, I adore you, and love you with all my heart. I thank you for having created me and saved me by your grace, and for having preserved me during this day. I pray that you will take for yourself whatever good I may have done this day and that you will forgive me whatever evil I have done. Protect me this night, and may your grace be with me always and with those I love. Amen.

“The Divine Praises” is a Roman Catholic Prayer recited following the liturgy of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Usually the priest chants each line which is repeated by the congregation.

Blessed be the Name of Jesus.

Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.

Most loving Jesus, I consecrate myself again and without reserve to your Sacred Heart. To you, I consecrate my heart. To you, I consecrate my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties and my whole being. To you, I consecrate all my thoughts, words and works, all my sufferings and labours, all my hopes, consolations and joys. But chiefly, let me be consumed in the flames of your love. In your divine and human love, may I always love my neighbour as myself.

May I always find in your Sacred Heart my dwelling place. There I desire to pass each day of my life; there I wish to breathe forth my last breathe. Make also my heart your abode, the place of your repose, so that we may remain intimately united together, until one day, I may praise, love and possess you in the vision of your glory for all eternity. Amen.

My Queen and 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 your own, keep and guard me as your property and possession. Amen.
