Prayer of Confidence

O will of the Omnipotent God,
You are my delight,
You are my joy.
whatever the hand of my Lord
holds out to me
I will accept with gladness,
submission and love.
Your Holy Will is my repose;
In it is contained all my sanctity,
and all my eternal salvation,
For doing God's will
is the greatest glory.....
Do with me as You will, Lord.
I place no obstacles,
I make no reservations.
For You are my whole delight
and the love of my soul,
And to You, in turn, I pour out
the confidence of my heart.

Prayer to St. Joseph

O St. Joseph whose protection is so great,
so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God,
I place in you all my interest and desires.
O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful
intercession and obtain for me from your
Divine Son all spiritual blessings
through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that
having engaged here below your Heavenly
power I may offer my thanksgiving
and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers.
O St. Joseph,
I never weary contemplating you and Jesus
asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me,
and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw
my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Parton of departing souls,
pray for us.
Amen

Prayer of Marian Consecration

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners
and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the
entire order of mercy to you. I, (name), a repentant sinner,
cast myself at your feet, humbly imploring you to take me with
all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession
and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body,
of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you.

If it please you, use all that I am and have without reserve,
wholly to accomplish what was said of you:
"She will crush your head"
and "You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."
Let me be a fit instrument in your Immaculate and merciful hands
for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all
the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far
as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and
growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all
graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Amen.

Prayer At Dawn

Sweet Virgin Mother, incomprehensible Morning Star,
as the gray gauze of pre-dawn is lifted,
send down upon me sufficient graces
to live this day in a manner pleasing to God.

All that I have and am and wish to be,
I offer to you.Take it in your Immaculate hands,
I entreat you, and by the power invested in you,
transform my humble gift into an offering
worthy of your Divine Son.

Dear Mary, before this day is born,
instill within me the courage to carry my cross
in a way that will merit your smile of approval
when the day is ended. Should protests arise,
quiet my lips with the sound of your sweet name.

Should annoyances or injustices tempt me
to give vent to my feelings,place before me the vision
of Christ Crucified, silently accepting
the cruel taunts of the blood-thirsty mob.
And should the cold fingers of loneliness and despair
clutch me, flood my soul with the
reassuring warmth of your love!

Before I close my eyes again in rest, let me thank you
for honoring me, your unworthy slave, with your presence
and benediction. And now, adding my praises
to those of the angels, I promise to pay you homage
forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Abandonment

Father,
I abandon myself into your Hands,
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do,
I thank you;
I am ready for all,
I accept all,
let only Your Will be done in me,
and in all your creatures-
I wish no more than this,
O Lord.

Into Your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you with all the
love of my heart,
for I love you Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself
into Your Hands,
without reserve,
and with bondless confidence,

For You are my Father.

Brother Charles of Jesus

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great

Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that the following prayer
would release 1,000 souls from Purgary each time is is said.

"Eternal Father,
I offer thee the most precious blood
of thy divine son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses
said throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls
in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the
universal church,
those in my own home and within my family.
Amen.
