8:T56b,Jesus, my God, I adore You, here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, where You wait day and night to be our comfort while we await Your unveiled presence in heaven.

Jesus, my God, I adore You in all places where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved and where sins are committed against this Sacrament of Love.

Jesus, my God, I adore You for all time, past, present and future, for every soul that ever was, is or shall be created.

Jesus, my God, who for us has endured hunger and cold, labour and fatigue, I adore You.

Jesus, my God, who for my sake has deigned to subject Yourself to the humiliation of temptation, to the perfidy and defection of friends, to the scorn of Your enemies, I adore You.

Jesus, my God, who for us has endured the buffeting of Your passion, the scourging, the crowning with thorns, the heavy weight of the cross, I adore You.

Jesus, my God, who, for my salvation and that of all mankind, was cruelly nailed to the cross and hung there for three long hours in bitter agony, I adore You.

Jesus, My God, who for love of us did institute this Blessed Sacrament and offer Yourself daily for the sins of men, I adore You.

Jesus, my God, who in Holy Communion became the food of my soul, I adore You.

Jesus, for You I live. Jesus, for You I die. Jesus, I am Yours in life and death.

This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him. I therefore take You, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You.

In Thee I live and move and am.
I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee.
Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Thy light and listen to Thy voice and follow Thy gracious inspirations.
I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness.
Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee Adorable Spirit, helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, tender refuge of sinners, I consecrate myself entirely to You today and forever. I give You my heart, my soul, my mind, my body, and all that I possess. Accept this offering, O Blessed Mother, and do with me according to the will of God.

I renounce all sin, all attachment to what displeases God, and every inclination that separates me from His love. I desire to love and honor Jesus, Your Son, with my whole being, and to serve Him faithfully in all that I do.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, unite my prayers, actions, joys, and sufferings with Your own, that I may grow in holiness and live according to the will of God. Protect me from the snares of the enemy, and help me to persevere in faith, hope, and charity until my last breath.

I entrust to Your maternal care my family, my friends, my work, and all that is dear to me. May Your Immaculate Heart reign in my heart, in all hearts, and in the world. I consecrate myself entirely to Your love and guidance, now and forever.

Amen.

f:T54c,The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
and she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary...

Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary...

And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The cross of Christ be with me; the cross of Christ overcomes all water and every fire; the cross of Christ overcomes all weapons; the cross of Christ is a perfect sign and blessing to my soul. May Christ be with me and my body during all my life at day and at night. Now I pray, I [name], pray God the Father for the soul's sake, and I pray God the Son for the Father's sake, and I pray God the Holy Ghost for the Father's and Son's sake, and I pray God the Holy Ghost for the Father's and the Son's sake, that the holy corpse of God may bless me against all evil things, words, and works. The Cross of Christ, the cross of Christ open unto me future bliss; the cross of Christ be with me, above me, before me, behind me, beneath me, aside of me and everywhere, and before all my enemies, visible and invisible; these all flee from me as soon as they but know or hear. Enoch and Elias, the two prophets, were never imprisoned, nor bound, nor beaten and came never out of their power; thus no one of my enemies must be able to injure or attack me in my body or my life, in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen! The blessing which came from heaven, from God the Father, when the true living Son was born, be with me at all times; the blessing which God spoke over the whole human race, be with me always.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, quia visitavit et fecit redemptionem plebi suae; et erexit cornu salutis nobis in domo David pueri sui, sicut locutus est per os sanctorum, qui a saeculo sunt, prophetarum eius: salutem ex inimicis nostris et de manu omnium qui oderunt nos; ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris et memorari testamenti sui sancti, iusiurandum quod iuravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, daturum se nobis, ut sine timore, de manu inimicorum liberati, serviamus illi in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso omnibus diebus nostris. Et tu, puer, propheta Altissimi vocaberis: praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius, ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius in remissionem peccatorum eorum, per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri, in quibus visitavit nos oriens ex alto, illuminare his qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent, ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis.

All: Glory be to you O Lord!

Head: On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you.' When he has said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.' And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.' This is the Word of the Lord.

We humble ourselves profoundly
and beg you to forgive our sins.

We adore you, Almighty Father,
and with hearts overflowing we thank you
that you have given us your divine Son Jesus to be our Redeemer,
and that he bequeathed himself to us in the most holy Eucharist
even to the end of the world,
revealing to us the wondrous love of his heart
in this mystery of faith and love.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,

O Word of God, Jesus our Redeemer,
we adore you and with hearts overflowing we thank you
for having taken human flesh upon yourself
and having become both Priest and Victim in the sacrifice of the Cross,
for our redemption:
a sacrifice which, through the overflowing love of your Sacred Heart,
you renew upon our altars every moment.
O High Priest, divine Victim,
give us the grace to honor your holy sacrifice in the most sacred Eucharist
with the homage of Mary most holy and of all your holy Church,
triumphant, suffering and militant.
We offer ourselves wholly to you;
of your infinite goodness and mercy accept our offering,
unite it to your own and grant us your blessings.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever. Amen.

and with hearts overflowing we give you thanks
that you have, with such great love for us,
brought about the ineffable blessings of the Incarnation of the Word of God,
a blessing which is being continually extended and enlarged
in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.
By this adorable mystery of love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
grant to us and all poor sinners your holy grace.
Pour forth your holy gifts upon us and upon all redeemed souls,
and in an especial manner upon the visible head of the Church, the Pope,
upon all Cardinals, Bishops and Pastors of souls,
upon priests, deacons and all other ministers of your sanctuary,
upon those in the religious and consecrated life,

Wisdom
Wisdom is the highest of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and enables us to see everything—ourselves, others, creation, and events—through the lens of God’s perspective (CCC 1831, 1845, 2037). It helps us to love spiritual things more than earthly ones and to desire God above all. Wisdom perfects our charity by orienting our judgment and decisions according to divine truth. This gift allows us to appreciate the mysteries of faith more deeply and to recognize God’s presence and work in all aspects of life. It does not mean knowing everything but seeing the bigger picture through the light of eternity, finding joy in God’s will even amid trials.

2. Understanding
Understanding helps us grasp the truths of our faith more profoundly (CCC 1831). While faith gives us the ability to believe what God has revealed, understanding deepens that belief by helping us to see the inner meaning of those truths. It enables us to penetrate the mysteries of Scripture, the teachings of the Church, and the sacraments with clarity. This gift helps us overcome confusion, doubt, and error, and grow in our relationship with God. It brings light to the intellect and helps us live out our faith with confidence and conviction.

3. Counsel (Right Judgment)
Counsel is the gift that enables us to make right moral decisions according to God’s will, especially in difficult or uncertain situations (CCC 1831). It perfects the virtue of prudence and allows us to discern the proper course of action by prompting our conscience with divine guidance. This gift is especially important when faced with complex choices where human reasoning may fall short. Counsel helps us speak and act with wisdom, seek advice when needed, and give good advice to others. It is the Holy Spirit guiding us from within, ensuring that our decisions align with truth, love, and the teachings of the Church.

4. Fortitude (Courage)
Fortitude gives us the strength to stand firm in our faith, resist temptation, and endure suffering for the sake of the Gospel (CCC 1808, 1831). It empowers us to overcome fear, remain faithful in trials, and defend our beliefs even when it is difficult or unpopular. Fortitude enables us to choose good despite opposition and to persevere in doing what is right. This gift is crucial for living a courageous Christian life, especially in today’s world where faith may be challenged. It reflects the strength of the martyrs and saints who bore witness to Christ with heroic love.

5. Knowledge
Knowledge allows us to see the created world and all human experiences as part of God’s divine plan (CCC 1831). It gives us the ability to judge rightly concerning matters of faith and right living, especially in discerning how to use temporal goods for eternal ends. Through this gift, we recognize that all creation points to God and that we are stewards of His gifts, not owners. Knowledge helps us avoid placing false value on earthly things and teaches us to keep our hearts set on what is eternal. It bridges faith and reason, helping us to live with both intelligence and holiness.

6. Piety (Reverence)
Piety fills our hearts with a deep love for God as our Father and a desire to worship Him in truth and devotion (CCC 1831). It also inspires respect for others as children of God and members of His family. This gift leads us to honor the Church, the saints, sacred Scripture, and all things related to the divine. It produces in us a joyful willingness to serve God and others with humility and obedience. Piety strengthens our desire for prayer and liturgy, makes us more charitable, and helps us live our faith sincerely and reverently.

7. Fear of the Lord (Wonder and Awe)
Fear of the Lord is not about being afraid of God, but a profound respect and awe for His majesty, power, and justice (CCC 1831, 2144–2145). It reminds us of the greatness of God and our dependence on Him, leading us to avoid sin out of love rather than fear of punishment. This gift fosters humility and helps us recognize our smallness before God’s glory, while trusting in His mercy. Fear of the Lord keeps our hearts open to grace and inspires a healthy vigilance in our spiritual life. It is the beginning of wisdom, and a foundation for true holiness.22:Tffc,'1':6C '1808':352C '1831':39C,137C,245C,353C,450C,561C,665C '1845':40C '2':123C '2037':41C '2144':666C '2145':667C '3':217C '4':326C '5':428C '6':534C '7':633C 'abil':143C,455C 'accord':69C,233C 'act':290C 'action':261C 'advic':294C,300C 'afraid':649C 'align':316C 'allow':75C,253C,431C 'also':563C 'amid':121C 'appreci':78C 'aspect':95C 'avoid':501C,684C 'awe':640C,657C 'begin':735C 'belief':153C,367C 'believ':145C 'bigger':107C 'bore':421C 'bridg':521C 'bring':201C 'ccc':38C,136C,244C,351C,449C,560C,664C 'challeng':410C 'charit':623C 'chariti':62C 'children':569C 'choic':278C 'choos':379C 'christ':424C 'christian':399C 'church':178C,325C,584C 'clariti':183C 'complex':277C 'concern':459C 'confid':214C 'confus':189C 'conscienc':265C 'convict':216C 'counsel':218C,221C,285C 'courag':328C,398C 'cours':259C 'creat':436C 'creation':28C,484C 'crucial':394C 'decis':68C,232C,315C 'deep':543C 'deepen':151C 'deepli':84C 'defend':365C 'depend':678C 'desir':55C,552C,615C 'despit':381C 'devot':559C 'difficult':240C,372C 'discern':256C,468C 'divin':71C,267C,447C,595C 'doubt':190C 'earth':51C,506C 'empow':355C 'enabl':21C,166C,226C,376C 'end':476C 'endur':343C 'ensur':312C 'error':192C 'especi':238C,272C,401C,466C 'etern':113C,475C,519C 'even':120C,368C 'event':30C 'everyth':25C,103C 'experi':441C 'face':275C 'faith':82C,133C,139C,212C,339C,361C,407C,462C,522C,629C 'fall':283C 'fals':503C 'famili':576C 'father':549C 'fear':359C,634C,641C,691C,713C 'fill':538C 'find':114C 'firm':336C 'fortitud':327C,329C,375C 'foster':696C 'foundat':740C 'gift':1A,15C,74C,185C,224C,270C,392C,479C,495C,578C,695C 'give':140C,298C,330C,452C 'glori':707C 'god':35C,56C,88C,117C,147C,199C,235C,445C,487C,546C,571C,605C,651C,675C,705C 'good':299C,380C,473C 'gospel':350C 'grace':722C 'grasp':128C 'great':673C 'grow':194C 'guid':308C 'guidanc':268C 'healthi':726C 'heart':514C,540C,719C 'help':43C,126C,155C,186C,207C,286C,499C,525C,625C,699C 'heroic':426C 'highest':11C 'holi':4A,18C,306C,533C,743C 'honor':582C 'human':280C,440C 'humil':609C,697C 'import':273C 'inner':160C 'inspir':564C,724C 'intellect':205C 'intellig':531C 'joy':115C,601C 'judg':457C 'judgment':66C,220C 'justic':663C 'keep':512C,717C 'know':102C 'knowledg':429C,430C,498C 'lead':579C,681C 'len':33C 'life':97C,400C,731C 'light':111C,202C 'liturgi':619C 'live':209C,396C,465C,528C,627C 'lord':637C,644C,716C 'love':46C,319C,427C,544C,688C 'majesti':660C 'make':229C,620C 'martyr':417C 'matter':460C 'may':282C,408C 'mean':101C,161C 'member':573C 'merci':712C 'moral':231C 'mysteri':80C,171C 'need':296C 'obedi':611C 'one':52C 'open':720C 'opposit':382C 'orient':64C 'other':27C,302C,567C,607C 'overcom':188C,358C 'owner':497C 'part':443C 'penetr':169C 'perfect':60C,247C 'persever':385C 'perspect':37C 'pictur':108C 'pieti':535C,537C,612C 'place':502C 'plan':448C 'point':485C 'power':661C 'prayer':617C 'presenc':90C 'produc':597C 'profound':135C,654C 'prompt':263C 'proper':258C 'prudenc':251C 'punish':693C 'rather':689C 'reason':281C,524C 'recogn':87C,481C,701C 'reflect':412C 'relat':592C 'relationship':197C 'remain':360C 'remind':669C 'resist':340C 'respect':565C,655C 'reveal':149C 'rever':536C,632C 'right':219C,230C,390C,458C,464C 'sacr':587C 'sacrament':181C 'saint':419C,586C 'sake':347C 'scriptur':173C,588C 'see':24C,105C,158C,434C 'seek':293C 'serv':604C 'set':515C 'seven':14C 'short':284C 'sin':685C 'sincer':630C 'situat':243C 'small':703C 'speak':288C 'spirit':5A,19C,307C 'spiritu':47C,730C 'stand':335C 'steward':492C 'strength':333C,414C 'strengthen':613C 'suffer':344C 'teach':175C,322C,509C 'tempor':472C 'temptat':341C 'thing':48C,507C,591C 'today':403C 'trial':122C,363C 'true':742C 'trust':709C 'truth':72C,130C,164C,318C,557C 'uncertain':242C 'understand':124C,125C,150C 'unpopular':374C 'us':22C,44C,76C,127C,141C,156C,167C,187C,208C,227C,254C,287C,309C,331C,356C,377C,432C,453C,500C,510C,526C,580C,599C,621C,626C,670C,682C,700C 'use':471C 'valu':504C 'vigil':727C 'virtu':249C 'willing':602C 'wisdom':7C,8C,59C,292C,737C 'wit':422C 'within':311C 'wonder':638C 'work':92C 'world':405C,437C 'worship':554C23:T1003,Step 1: Examine Your Conscience
Begin by prayerfully reviewing your life since your last confession. Reflect on your thoughts, words, actions, and omissions in light of the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the precepts of the Church. Ask the Holy Spirit for light and humility to recognize your sins honestly. A sincere examination is key to a good confession.

Step 2: Be Sincerely Sorry for Your Sins
This is called contrition. It means feeling sorrow for offending God, not just fear of punishment. True sorrow includes the desire to change and avoid sin in the future. Without sincere contrition, absolution cannot be valid.

Step 3: Make a Firm Resolution to Avoid Sin
Along with sorrow, you must resolve to turn away from sin, avoid near occasions of sin, and live a holier life with God's grace.

Step 4: Go to Confession
Enter the confessional or reconciliation room. Begin by saying: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been [how long] since my last confession. These are my sins…” Confess all mortal sins in kind and number (to the best of your ability), and any venial sins you wish to include. Do not hide or hold back sins out of fear or shame—Jesus is ready to forgive all who come in humility.

Step 5: Listen to the Priest
The priest may offer counsel, encouragement, or guidance. He will assign you a penance—usually a prayer or act of charity—to help you repair the harm of sin and grow in virtue.

Step 6: Pray the Act of Contrition
Say this prayer out loud to express your sorrow:
“O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because of Your just punishments, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.”

Step 7: Receive Absolution
Listen prayerfully as the priest says the prayer of absolution. Make the Sign of the Cross as he blesses you. When he finishes, respond: “Amen.” At that moment, your sins are completely forgiven, and your soul is made clean by the Blood of Christ.

Step 8: Complete Your Penance
After leaving the confessional, go to a quiet place and complete the assigned penance prayerfully and promptly. This act is an offering of love and repair to God.

Other Confession Prayers You May Find Helpful:

Prayer Before Confession:
“Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten my mind that I may clearly know my sins. Move my heart that I may be sincerely sorry for them, honestly confess them, and firmly resolve to amend my life. Amen.”

Prayer After Confession:
“Eternal Father, thank You for loving me and sending Your Son to redeem me. Thank You for forgiving me through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Help me by Your grace to avoid sin and to live the Gospel with joy. Amen.”

Quick Examination of Conscience (based on the 10 Commandments):
1. Have I put anything or anyone above God? Have I neglected prayer or the Mass?
2. Have I used God’s name disrespectfully or taken false oaths?
3. Have I missed Sunday Mass or Holy Days of Obligation without a serious reason?
4. Have I disobeyed or dishonored my parents or legitimate authority?
5. Have I hurt others by violence, anger, hatred, or refusing to forgive?
6. Have I committed impure acts alone or with others? Looked at impure images?
7. Have I stolen, cheated, or failed to return what does not belong to me?
8. Have I lied, gossiped, or spoken uncharitably about others?
9. Have I desired or entertained impure thoughts about someone not my spouse?
10. Have I been jealous, envious, or greedy for others’ goods?

Closing Note:
Confession is not a burden—it is a gift. Through this sacrament, Jesus restores our friendship with Him and pours grace into our souls. Go often, go sincerely, and let His mercy renew you.24:Te0c,'1':7C,519C '10':517C,638C '2':66C,535C '3':110C,547C '4':144C,562C '5':222C,573C '6':261C,586C '7':342C,600C '8':390C,615C '9':625C 'abil':190C 'absolut':105C,344C,354C 'act':245C,264C,412C,591C 'action':26C 'all-good':310C 'alon':592C 'along':118C 'amen':340C,369C,466C,509C 'amend':463C 'anger':580C 'anyon':525C 'anyth':523C 'ask':43C 'assign':237C,406C 'author':572C 'avoid':97C,116C,129C,334C,500C 'away':126C 'back':204C 'base':514C 'beatitud':36C 'begin':11C,154C 'belong':612C 'best':187C 'bless':157C,363C 'blood':386C 'burden':655C 'call':75C 'cannot':106C 'chang':95C 'chariti':247C 'cheat':604C 'christ':388C 'church':42C 'clean':383C 'clear':441C 'close':649C 'come':218C,432C 'command':34C,518C 'commit':589C 'complet':376C,391C,404C 'confess':5A,20C,64C,147C,172C,177C,423C,431C,457C,469C,651C 'confession':150C,397C 'conscienc':10C,513C 'contrit':76C,104C,266C 'counsel':231C 'cross':360C 'day':555C 'deserv':314C 'desir':93C,628C 'detest':289C 'dishonor':567C 'disobey':565C 'disrespect':542C 'encourag':232C 'enlighten':435C 'enter':148C 'entertain':630C 'envious':643C 'etern':470C 'examin':8C,58C,511C 'express':273C 'fail':606C 'fals':545C 'father':159C,471C 'fear':86C,208C 'feel':79C 'find':427C 'finish':367C 'firm':113C,320C,460C 'forgiv':215C,487C,585C 'forgiven':377C 'friendship':666C 'futur':101C 'gift':659C 'go':145C,398C,675C,677C 'god':83C,140C,278C,307C,421C,527C,539C 'good':4A,63C,312C,648C 'gospel':506C 'gossip':619C 'grace':142C,327C,498C,671C 'greedi':645C 'grow':257C 'guid':1A 'guidanc':234C 'harm':253C 'hatr':581C 'heart':447C 'heartili':281C 'help':249C,324C,428C,494C 'hide':201C 'hold':203C 'holi':45C,433C,554C 'holier':137C 'honest':55C,456C 'humil':50C,220C 'hurt':576C 'imag':599C 'impur':590C,598C,631C 'includ':91C,198C 'jealous':642C 'jesus':211C,663C 'joy':508C 'key':60C 'kind':182C 'know':442C 'last':19C,171C 'leav':395C 'legitim':571C 'let':680C 'lie':618C 'life':16C,138C,465C 'light':30C,48C 'listen':223C,345C 'live':135C,504C 'long':168C 'look':596C 'loud':271C 'love':318C,417C,475C 'made':382C 'make':111C,355C 'mass':534C,552C 'may':229C,426C,440C,450C 'mean':78C 'merci':682C 'mind':437C 'miss':550C 'moment':372C 'mortal':179C 'move':445C 'must':122C 'name':541C 'near':130C,336C 'neglect':530C 'note':650C 'number':184C 'o':276C 'oath':546C 'oblig':557C 'occas':131C,337C 'offend':82C,285C,304C 'offer':230C,415C 'often':676C 'omiss':28C 'other':577C,595C,624C,647C 'parent':569C 'penanc':240C,393C,407C 'place':402C 'pour':670C 'pray':262C 'prayer':13C,243C,269C,346C,352C,408C,424C,429C,467C,531C 'precept':39C 'priest':226C,228C,349C 'prompt':410C 'punish':88C,297C 'put':522C 'quick':510C 'quiet':401C 'readi':213C 'reason':561C 'receiv':343C 'recogn':52C 'reconcili':152C,493C 'redeem':482C 'reflect':21C 'refus':583C 'renew':683C 'repair':251C,419C 'resolut':114C 'resolv':123C,321C,461C 'respond':368C 'restor':664C 'return':608C 'review':14C 'room':153C 'sacrament':491C,662C 'say':156C,267C,350C 'send':478C 'serious':560C 'shame':210C 'sign':357C 'sin':54C,72C,98C,117C,128C,133C,163C,176C,180C,194C,205C,255C,292C,329C,339C,374C,444C,501C 'sinc':17C,169C 'sincer':57C,68C,103C,452C,678C 'someon':634C 'son':480C 'sorri':69C,282C,453C 'sorrow':80C,90C,120C,275C 'soul':380C,674C 'spirit':46C,434C 'spoken':621C 'spous':637C 'step':6C,65C,109C,143C,221C,260C,341C,389C 'stolen':603C 'sunday':551C 'taken':544C 'ten':33C 'thank':472C,484C 'thought':24C,632C 'true':89C 'turn':125C 'uncharit':622C 'use':538C 'usual':241C 'valid':108C 'venial':193C 'violenc':579C 'virtu':259C 'wish':196C 'without':102C,558C 'word':25C25:Tf68,Preparation — 5 minutes
Place yourself quietly in the presence of Jesus Christ, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Make the Sign of the Cross and ask the Holy Spirit to help you pray.

Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Adoration — 10 minutes
Jesus, my God, I adore You, here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. I believe that You are truly present—Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. I worship You with the angels and saints, and I offer You my whole heart.

Remain in silent adoration. Gaze upon the Lord and allow Him to gaze upon you.

Thanksgiving — 10 minutes
Thank Jesus for the gift of Himself in the Eucharist, for the Sacraments, for His Passion and Resurrection, and for the particular graces of your life.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from You.
From the malignant enemy defend me.
At the hour of my death call me,
and bid me come to You,
that with Your saints I may praise You
for ever and ever. Amen.

Scripture and Meditation — 15 minutes
Slowly read one of the following passages: John 6:35–58; John 15:1–17; Luke 22:14–20; Luke 24:13–35; or 1 Corinthians 11:23–26.

Read the passage again. Notice the word or phrase that draws your attention. Speak to Jesus about it, then listen in silence.

Contrition and Reparation — 5 minutes
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.

Merciful Jesus, accept this time of prayer in reparation for offenses against Your Sacred Heart and against the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Intercession — 10 minutes
Pray for the Church and the Holy Father; for bishops, priests, deacons and religious; for vocations; for peace and justice; for the suffering and the dying; for your family and friends; and for those who have asked for your prayers. Present your personal intention to Jesus.

Closing — 5 minutes
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Blessed be God.
Blessed be His holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus.
Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be His Most Precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.
Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.26:Td14,'1':318C,329C '10':133C,193C,454C '11':331C '13':326C '14':322C '15':303C,317C '17':319C '20':323C '22':321C '23':332C '24':325C '26':333C '35':314C,327C '5':17C,359C,503C '58':315C '6':313C 'accept':434C 'ador':132C,139C,180C 'allow':186C 'alreadi':556C 'altar':149C,618C 'amen':131C,299C,431C,572C,690C 'amend':428C 'angel':167C,670C 'ask':42C,492C 'assumpt':647C 'attent':346C 'believ':151C,508C 'bid':282C 'bishop':465C 'bless':14B,33C,145C,451C,573C,576C,581C,590C,596C,602C,608C,619C,626C,636C,643C,648C,657C,665C 'blood':158C,231C,607C 'bodi':157C,226C 'call':279C 'cannot':535C 'chast':663C 'christ':27C,128C,223C,228C,233C,241C,246C,584C 'church':459C 'close':502C 'come':50C,53C,284C,542C 'concept':642C 'confess':420C 'consol':126C 'contrit':356C 'corinthian':330C 'creat':79C 'cross':40C 'deacon':467C 'death':278C 'defend':271C 'deserv':405C 'desir':526C 'detest':374C 'die':481C 'divin':161C 'draw':344C 'dread':380C 'earth':88C 'embrac':550C 'enemi':270C 'eucharist':2A,204C 'ever':122C,296C,298C 'face':85C 'faith':61C,108C 'famili':484C 'father':463C,680C 'fill':56C 'fire':67C 'firm':411C 'follow':310C 'forth':72C 'friend':486C 'gaze':181C,189C 'gift':199C 'glorious':646C 'god':93C,137C,363C,399C,575C,586C,632C,667C 'good':250C,403C 'grace':217C,418C 'grant':109C 'great':629C 'guid':1A,9B 'hear':252C 'heart':58C,105C,176C,446C,548C,601C 'heartili':366C 'heaven':384C 'hell':389C 'help':47C,415C 'hide':257C 'holi':3A,44C,51C,54C,100C,114C,462C,516C,579C,614C,622C,635C,639C,688C 'hour':4A,8B,275C 'immacul':641C 'inebri':234C 'instruct':103C 'intent':499C 'intercess':453C 'jesus':26C,135C,196C,251C,349C,433C,501C,506C,583C,595C,610C 'john':312C,316C 'joseph':660C 'justic':475C 'kindl':63C 'least':544C 'let':89C 'life':220C,430C 'light':97C 'listen':353C 'lord':130C,184C 'loss':382C 'love':70C,409C,519C 'luke':320C,324C 'make':35C 'malign':269C 'man':589C 'mari':633C,653C 'may':117C,292C 'medit':302C 'merci':432C 'minut':18C,134C,194C,304C,360C,455C,504C 'moment':538C 'mother':630C,656C 'name':580C,593C,651C,677C 'never':564C 'notic':338C 'o':92C,249C,361C 'offend':370C,396C 'offens':442C 'offer':172C 'one':7B,307C 'one-hour':6B 'pain':387C 'paraclet':625C 'particular':216C 'passag':311C,336C 'passion':210C,244C 'peac':473C 'penanc':425C 'permit':259C,565C 'person':498C 'phrase':342C 'place':19C 'prais':293C 'pray':49C,91C,456C 'prayer':11B,438C,495C 'precious':606C 'prepar':16C 'presenc':24C 'present':29C,142C,156C,496C,512C 'priest':466C 'quiet':21C 'read':306C,334C 'receiv':528C,539C 'rejoic':123C 'religi':469C 'remain':177C 'renew':83C 'repar':358C,440C 'resolv':412C 'resurrect':212C 'sacr':445C,600C 'sacrament':15B,34C,146C,207C,452C,517C,541C,615C 'saint':169C,290C,659C,674C 'sanctifi':224C 'save':229C 'scriptur':300C 'send':71C 'separ':264C,569C 'shall':77C,82C 'side':239C 'sign':37C 'silenc':355C 'silent':179C 'sin':377C,422C 'sinc':533C 'slowli':305C 'son':684C 'sorri':367C 'soul':159C,221C,532C 'speak':347C 'spirit':45C,52C,55C,74C,101C,115C,623C,689C 'spiritu':545C 'spous':664C 'strengthen':247C 'suffer':478C 'thank':195C 'thanksgiv':192C 'thing':523C 'time':436C 'true':585C,588C 'truli':28C,119C,155C 'unit':559C 'upon':182C,190C 'us':90C 'virgin':654C 'vocat':471C 'wash':242C 'water':236C 'whole':175C 'wholli':561C 'wise':120C 'within':254C 'word':340C 'worship':163C 'wound':256C27:T580,'ad':108C,114C,132C 'advoc':47C 'advocata':126C 'amen':96C,165C 'banish':23C 'benedictum':137C 'bless':63C 'children':24C 'christ':95C 'christi':164C 'clamamus':110C 'clemen':147C 'clement':70C 'convert':134C 'cri':21C 'dei':158C 'digni':161C 'dulcedo':103C 'dulci':151C 'efficiamur':162C 'eia':124C 'ergo':125C 'et':104C,118C,135C 'eve':26C 'exil':58C 'exsilium':144C 'exsul':111C 'eye':49C 'filii':112C 'flent':119C 'fructum':138C 'fruit':64C 'gement':117C 'genetrix':159C 'god':84C 'gracious':46C 'hac':121C 'hail':1A,4C 'heva':113C 'hoc':143C 'holi':2A,5C,81C 'hope':16C 'iesum':136C 'illo':128C 'jesus':68C 'lacrimarum':122C 'latin':97C 'life':11C 'love':72C 'made':89C 'mari':76C 'maria':153C 'mater':100C 'may':87C 'merci':9C,51C 'misericord':130C 'misericordia':101C 'mother':7C,82C 'mourn':35C 'nobi':141C,156C 'nos':133C 'nostra':106C,127C 'o':69C,71C,73C,80C,146C,148C,150C 'oculo':131C 'ora':154C 'ostend':145C 'pia':149C 'poor':22C 'post':142C 'pray':77C 'pro':155C 'promis':93C 'promissionibus':163C 'queen':3A,6C 'regina':99C 'salv':98C,107C 'sancta':157C 'send':31C 'show':59C 'sigh':34C 'spes':105C 'suspiramus':116C 'sweet':13C,74C 'te':109C,115C 'tear':42C 'thee':18C,28C 'thi':66C 'thine':48C 'toward':52C 'tui':140C 'tuo':129C 'turn':43C 'unto':60C 'us':53C,61C,79C 'ut':160C 'vall':123C 'valley':40C 'ventri':139C 'virgin':75C 'virgo':152C 'vita':102C 'weep':37C 'womb':67C 'worthi':90C28:T4fe,

Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me. I thank you for sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set me free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me. Loving Father, touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul, and spirit. Cover me with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus’ precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function. Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart. Saturate my entire being with your presence, love, joy, and peace and draw me ever closer to you every moment of my life. And Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do your works so that my life will bring glory and honour to your holy name. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Charity
Charity is patient, is kind; charity does not envy, is not pretentious, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, is not self-seeking, is not provoked; thinks no evil, does not rejoice over wickedness, but rejoices with the truth, bears with all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Cor. 13:4-7).
To have Charity is to love God above all things for Himself and be ready to renounce all created things rather than offend Him by serious sin.

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and near,
Alone or in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato; passus et sepultus est, et resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas, et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius regni non erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prophetas. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi.

You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you. But I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are.

I have tasted and seen the depth of your mystery and the beauty of your creation with the light of my understanding. I have clothed myself with your likeness and have seen what I shall be. Eternal Father, you have given me a share in your power and the wisdom that Christ claims as his own, and your Holy Spirit has given me the desire to love you. You are my Creator, eternal Trinity, and I am your creature. You have made of me a new creation in the blood of your Son, and I know that you are moved with love at the beauty of your creation, for you have enlightened me.

Eternal Trinity, Godhead, mystery deep as the sea, you could give me no greater gift than the gift of yourself. For you are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being. Yes, you are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light and causes me to know your truth. By this light, reflected as it were in a mirror, I recognise that you are the highest good, one we can neither comprehend nor fathom. And I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you gave yourself to man in the fire of your love.

You are the garment which covers our nakedness, and in our hunger you are a satisfying food, for you are sweetness and in you there is no taste of bitterness, O triune God!4c:T584,'angel':315C 'away':261C 'beauti':112C,204C,308C 'bitter':356C 'blood':12C,189C 'burn':239C 'caus':271C 'christ':14C,151C 'claim':152C 'cloth':124C 'cold':263C 'comprehend':299C 'consum':242C,245C 'could':222C 'cover':332C 'creation':115C,186C,207C 'creator':171C 'creatur':178C 'deep':29C,217C 'depth':106C 'desir':65C,87C,164C 'divin':22C 'enlighten':211C 'etern':2A,4C,6C,136C,172C,213C 'even':75C 'ever':62C,238C 'famish':82C 'father':137C 'fathom':301C 'fill':69C,251C 'find':40C,45C 'fire':237C,258C,323C 'food':313C,343C 'garment':330C 'gave':317C 'gift':227C,230C 'give':223C 'given':140C,161C 'god':5C,359C 'godhead':215C 'good':294C 'greater':76C,226C 'grow':80C 'highest':293C 'holi':158C 'hunger':77C,338C 'illumin':264C 'know':195C,274C,304C 'leav':63C 'light':85C,95C,118C,269C,279C 'like':128C 'love':166C,201C,249C,326C 'made':10C,181C 'man':320C 'mind':266C 'mirror':286C 'move':199C 'mysteri':27C,109C,216C 'naked':334C 'natur':23C 'neither':298C 'never':55C,241C 'new':185C 'o':1A,357C 'one':295C 'power':146C 'precious':16C 'realli':98C 'receiv':60C 'recognis':288C 'reflect':280C 'satisfi':57C,342C 'sea':32C,220C 'search':36C,49C 'see':91C 'seen':104C,131C 'selfish':248C 'shall':134C 'share':19C,143C 'son':192C 'soul':71C 'spirit':159C 'sweet':347C 'take':260C 'tast':102C,354C 'triniti':3A,7C,173C,214C 'triun':358C 'true':94C 'truth':276C 'understand':121C 'wisdom':149C,310C 'yes':254C4d:T53d,O God the Father of mankind, who hast given unto me these my children, and committed them to my charge to bring them up for Thee, and to prepare them for eternal life: help me with Thy heavenly grace, that I may be able to fulfil this most sacred duty and stewardship. Teach me both what to give and what to withhold; when to reprove and when to forbear; make me to be gentle, yet firm; considerate and watchful; and deliver me equally from the weakness of indulgence, and the excess of severity; and grant that, both by word and example, I may be careful to lead them in the ways of wisdom and true piety, so that at last I may, with them, be admitted to the unspeakable joys of our true home in heaven, in the company of the blessed Angels and Saints. Amen.

O Heavenly Father, I commend my children to Thy care. Be Thou their God and Father; and mercifully supply whatever is lacking in me through frailty or negligence.

Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future! From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us. Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the sin of the world, sin in all its manifestations. Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption: the power of merciful Love! May it put a stop to evil! May it transform consciences! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!

Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your divine wisdom You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage. May her/his character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart. May s/he be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please You to entrust to our care. Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely, that our future home may ever be most like Your own at Nazareth.

O Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of the young, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future wife/husband. You are my guiding Star! Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God's Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joys in the next.

The Lord is faithful in all his words
and holy in all his works.
The Lord lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
You open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him,
he hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord keeps all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
May my mouth speak the praise of the Lord,
and may all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Prayer
God our Creator,
by your love the world is filled with life,
through your generosity one generation
gives life to another,
and so are your wonders told and your praises sung.
We look to you in our love and in our need:
may it be your will that we bear (adopt) a child
to share our home and faith.
Loving God, be close to us
as we pray to love and do your will.
You are our God, nourishing us forever and ever.

O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with such immense favours, I beg You to visit me with Your grace and Your love and to grant me the gift of holy fear, so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg pardon.

Grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You for the future with increased fervour, follow with more promptness Your holy inspirations, and observe your divine precepts with greater fidelity.

Grant me the gift of knowledge, so that I may know the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy teaching, may walk, without deviation, in the path of eternal salvation.

Grant me the gift of fortitude, so that I may overcome courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the dangers of this world which threaten the salvation of my soul.

Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I may choose what is more conducive to my spiritual advancement and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.

Grant me the gift of understanding, so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation of heavenly things detach my thoughts and affections from the vain things of this miserable world.

Grant me the gift of wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions, referring them to God as my last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life, I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next. Amen.

You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the evil one himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot.

O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.

Act of Adoration
Jesus, my God, I adore You, here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, where You wait day and night to be our comfort while we await Your unveiled presence in heaven. Jesus, my God, who for love of us instituted this Blessed Sacrament and offers Yourself for the salvation of the world, I adore You. Jesus, for You I live. Jesus, for You I die. Jesus, I am Yours in life and death. Amen.

Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas
Almighty and everlasting God, behold, I approach the Sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the physician of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the light of eternal brightness, poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore I ask, in the abundance of Your great bounty, that You may deign to heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, give light to my blindness, enrich my poverty and clothe my nakedness, that I may receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with such reverence and humility, such contrition and devotion, such purity and faith, and such purpose and intention as are conducive to the salvation of my soul. Grant, I pray, that I may receive not only the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of the Lord, but also its reality and power. O most gentle God, grant that I may so receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which He took from the Virgin Mary, that I may be made worthy to be incorporated into His Mystical Body and counted among His members. O most loving Father, grant that I may at last gaze forever upon the unveiled face of Your beloved Son, whom I now purpose to receive under the sacramental veil; who lives and reigns with You for ever and ever. Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Stay with Me, Lord
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company. Amen.66:Taaa,'abund':224C 'act':11C,85C,409C 'ador':10B,87C,92C,143C 'almighti':169C 'alreadi':464C 'also':316C 'altar':102C 'alway':591C 'amen':84C,163C,408C,480C,596C 'among':365C 'angel':260C 'approach':175C 'aquina':168C 'ask':221C 'await':115C 'away':238C 'becam':40C 'begotten':182C,337C 'behold':173C 'believ':19C,35C,60C,416C 'belov':386C 'bless':4A,98C,131C 'blind':202C,245C 'blood':311C 'bodi':309C,332C,362C 'bounti':228C 'bread':258C 'bright':208C 'cannot':443C 'cathol':69C 'christ':187C,342C 'church':70C 'cloth':250C 'come':51C,189C,450C 'comfort':112C 'communion':412C 'compani':595C 'conduc':289C 'contrit':275C 'count':364C 'dark':555C 'day':106C 'dead':58C 'death':162C 'deceiv':80C,83C 'defil':240C 'deign':232C 'desir':434C,584C 'devot':277C 'die':43C,154C 'divin':27C,38C 'earth':218C 'embrac':458C 'enrich':246C 'etern':207C 'eucharist':9B 'ever':405C,407C 'everlast':171C 'face':383C 'faith':13C,281C 'fall':521C 'father':29C,371C 'fervor':539C 'firm':18C 'follow':576C 'forev':379C 'forget':502C 'fountain':199C 'gaze':378C 'gentl':323C 'give':241C 'god':16C,24C,90C,123C,172C,324C 'grant':296C,325C,372C 'great':227C 'heal':234C 'hear':572C 'heart':456C 'heaven':120C,216C 'holi':32C,68C,424C 'humil':273C 'incorpor':358C 'institut':129C 'intent':286C 'jesus':88C,121C,145C,150C,155C,186C,341C,414C 'judg':53C 'king':262C,264C 'last':377C 'least':452C 'life':160C,195C,532C 'light':205C,242C,548C 'live':55C,149C,399C 'lord':185C,214C,266C,268C,314C,340C,484C,488C,507C,527C,543C,559C,568C,581C 'love':126C,370C,427C,586C 'made':354C 'man':41C 'mari':349C 'may':231C,255C,301C,328C,352C,375C,519C 'member':367C 'merci':201C 'moment':446C 'much':589C 'mystic':361C 'naked':252C 'necessari':492C 'need':514C 'needi':211C 'neither':79C 'never':472C 'night':108C 'o':14C,321C,368C 'offer':134C 'often':523C 'one':23C 'only-begotten':180C,335C 'permit':473C 'person':28C 'physician':193C 'poor':209C 'poverti':248C 'power':320C 'pray':298C 'prayer':1A,7B,164C 'presenc':118C 'present':95C,420C,496C 'puriti':279C 'purpos':284C,391C 'realiti':318C 'receiv':256C,302C,330C,393C,436C,447C 'reign':401C 'reveal':75C 'rever':271C 'sacrament':5A,99C,132C,177C,306C,396C,425C,449C 'saint':166C 'salvat':138C,292C 'separ':477C 'show':561C 'sick':190C,236C 'sin':46C 'sinc':441C 'son':30C,39C,183C,338C,387C 'soul':295C,440C 'spirit':33C 'spiritu':411C,453C 'stay':481C,485C,504C,524C,540C,556C,565C,578C 'strength':516C 'teach':71C 'therefor':219C 'thing':431C 'thoma':167C 'three':26C 'took':345C 'tradit':6B 'truth':65C 'unclean':196C 'unit':467C 'unveil':117C,382C 'upon':380C 'us':128C 'veil':397C 'virgin':348C 'voic':574C 'wait':105C 'wash':237C 'weak':511C 'wholli':469C 'without':534C,538C,550C 'world':141C 'worthi':355C67:T55d,Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty

You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day

You will look and see how the wicked are punished.

God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.
You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes.

the cry of my appeal;
for he turned his ear to me
in the day when I called him.

The snares of death had encompassed me,
the pains of the netherworld seized me;
I found distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the Lord’s name:
‘O Lord, I beseech you, save my life!’

Gracious is the Lord and just;
our God is merciful.
The Lord protects the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, my soul, to your rest,
for the Lord has been good to you.

He has kept my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
I shall walk in the presence of the Lord
in the land of the living.

I believed, even when I said:
‘I am sorely afflicted.’
What shall I return to the Lord
for all he has given to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfil my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of his faithful.
O Lord, I am your servant;
you have loosened my bonds.

I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will fulfil my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

Psalm 91

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shade of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “My refuge and my stronghold,
my God in whom I trust!”

For he will rescue you from the fowler’s snare,
from the destroying plague.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a protecting shield.

You shall not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that roams in darkness,
nor the plague that ravages at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near you.
You need only watch,
you shall see the punishment of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
and the Most High your stronghold,
no evil shall befall you,
no affliction come near your tent.

For he will command his angels
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the asp and the viper;
you will trample the lion and the dragon.

Because he clings to me, I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will deliver him and give him glory.

I will grant him length of days
and save him from the power of the wicked.6a:T85c,'116':7C '91':263C 'abid':275C 'afflict':146C,414C 'almighti':281C 'angel':424C 'answer':490C 'appeal':20C 'arrow':343C 'asp':453C 'bear':437C 'befal':411C 'believ':138C 'beseech':65C 'bond':215C 'brought':88C 'call':33C,56C,170C,225C,485C 'cling':467C 'come':379C,415C 'command':422C 'court':249C 'cover':313C 'cri':17C 'cup':166C 'dark':354C 'day':30C,347C,513C 'death':3A,38C,113C,201C 'deliv':472C,501C 'destroy':309C 'die':5A 'distress':51C,498C 'dragon':464C 'dwell':266C 'ear':25C 'encompass':40C 'even':139C 'evil':409C 'eye':115C,195C 'faith':204C,327C 'fall':365C 'fear':335C 'feet':119C 'find':324C 'fli':345C 'foot':444C 'found':50C 'fowler':304C 'fulfil':179C,234C 'give':504C 'given':158C 'glori':506C 'god':77C,292C 'good':104C 'gracious':70C 'grant':509C 'guard':426C 'hallelujah':261C 'hand':374C,434C 'heard':15C 'high':273C,405C 'hous':252C 'jerusalem':260C 'kept':109C 'know':480C 'land':133C 'length':511C 'lest':440C 'life':69C 'lift':163C 'lion':461C 'live':136C 'loosen':213C 'lord':11C,59C,63C,73C,81C,101C,130C,153C,176C,184C,198C,206C,231C,239C,255C,285C,399C 'love':9C 'low':89C 'made':397C 'may':364C 'merci':79C 'midst':258C 'name':61C,173C,228C,482C 'near':380C,416C 'need':383C 'netherworld':46C 'night':340C 'noon':361C 'o':62C,205C,259C 'offer':218C 'pain':43C 'peopl':191C,246C 'pestil':350C 'pinion':317C 'plagu':310C,357C 'power':519C 'precious':192C 'presenc':127C,187C,242C 'protect':82C,330C,476C 'psalm':1A,6C,262C 'punish':390C 'ravag':359C 'refug':287C,325C,401C 'rescu':300C 'rest':98C 'return':93C,150C 'right':373C 'roam':352C 'sacrific':221C 'said':142C 'salvat':168C 'save':67C,91C,515C 'say':282C 'see':388C 'seiz':47C 'servant':210C 'shade':278C 'shall':123C,148C,333C,377C,387C,410C 'shelter':269C 'shield':331C 'side':368C 'simpl':84C 'snare':36C,306C 'sore':145C 'sorrow':53C 'soul':95C,111C 'stone':447C 'strike':442C 'stronghold':290C,407C 'stumbl':121C 'tear':117C 'ten':369C 'tent':418C 'terror':337C 'thanksgiv':223C 'thousand':363C,370C 'trampl':459C 'tread':450C 'trust':296C 'turn':23C 'viper':456C 'vow':181C,236C 'walk':124C 'watch':385C 'way':431C 'wick':393C,522C 'wing':321C6b:T9c1,Psalm 25

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
My God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.

Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day.

Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
or my transgressions;
remember me according to your steadfast love
and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.

All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

Psalm 119

Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who keep his decrees,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways.

You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
O that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!

Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances.

I will observe your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me!

Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to observe your righteous ordinances.

I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word.

Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me your ordinances.

Though the proud have smeared me with lies,
I will keep your precepts with my whole heart.

Be gracious to me according to your promise,
and grant me your salvation,
that I may observe your law.

I am your servant;
give me understanding,
that I may know your decrees.

It is time for the Lord to act,
for your law has been broken.

Truly I love your commandments
more than gold, more than pure gold,
more than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.

Let your steadfast love comfort me
according to your promise to your servant.6c:T6fa,'119':183C '25':7C 'accept':323C 'accord':121C,319C,356C,424C 'act':391C 'afflict':313C 'also':214C 'asham':54C 'blameless':190C 'bless':184C,199C 'broken':397C 'comfort':422C 'command':225C,258C,402C 'confirm':303C 'coven':178C 'day':92C 'decre':181C,205C,383C 'dilig':231C 'drip':414C 'enemi':35C 'exult':36C 'eye':253C 'faith':172C 'feet':290C 'fix':254C 'forsak':281C 'give':314C,375C 'god':18C,82C 'gold':405C,409C 'good':132C,135C 'gracious':353C 'grant':361C 'guidanc':3A 'heart':212C,266C,351C 'honey':412C 'honeycomb':417C 'humbl':151C,159C 'instruct':143C 'keep':176C,203C,240C,345C 'kept':230C 'know':61C,381C 'lamp':287C 'law':195C,370C,394C 'lead':70C,149C 'learn':269C 'let':25C,33C,41C,51C,418C 'lie':342C 'life':316C 'lift':13C 'light':293C 'lord':11C,65C,97C,134C,140C,167C,198C,318C,329C,389C 'love':101C,125C,170C,400C,421C 'make':59C 'may':236C,367C,380C 'merci':95C 'o':10C,64C,96C,133C,232C,317C,328C 'oath':301C 'observ':275C,306C,368C 'offer':325C 'old':108C 'ordin':272C,309C,334C 'path':69C,164C,296C 'prais':261C,327C 'precept':227C,347C 'promis':359C,427C 'proud':337C 'psalm':1A,6C,182C 'pure':408C 'put':28C,48C,248C 'rememb':93C,109C,119C 'right':155C 'righteous':271C,308C 'sake':129C 'salvat':85C,364C 'seek':207C 'servant':374C,430C 'sever':312C 'shall':245C 'shame':30C,50C,250C 'sin':112C 'sinner':144C 'smear':339C 'soul':16C 'statut':242C,277C 'steadfast':100C,124C,169C,238C,420C 'sworn':299C 'teach':66C,76C,157C,331C 'therefor':141C 'though':335C 'time':386C 'transgress':118C 'treacher':58C 'truli':398C 'trust':22C 'truth':74C 'understand':377C 'upright':137C,265C 'utter':280C 'wait':44C,89C 'walk':192C,219C 'wanton':57C 'way':63C,147C,161C,188C,222C,235C 'whole':211C,350C 'whose':187C 'wisdom':5A 'word':284C,322C 'wrong':217C 'youth':115C6d:T875,Psalm 30

I will exalt you, Lord, because you have raised me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.

O Lord, you brought my soul up from Sheol,
restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.

Singing praise to the Lord, you faithful,
give thanks to his holy name.

For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,
I shall never be moved.

By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.

To you, O Lord, I cried;
to the Lord I pleaded for mercy:

“What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?

Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me;
Lord, be my helper!”

You have turned my mourning into dancing;
you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

so that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

Psalm 147

How good it is to sing praises to our God!
How pleasant and fitting to praise him!

The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the exiles of Israel.

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.

Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.

The Lord sustains the humble;
he casts the wicked to the ground.

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make music to our God on the harp.

He covers the sky with clouds;
he supplies the earth with rain
and makes grass grow on the hills.

He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call.

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;

the Lord delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.6e:T6fc,'147':224C '30':7C 'among':57C 'anger':79C 'bind':258C 'brokenheart':256C 'brought':46C 'build':244C 'call':270C,346C 'cast':294C 'cattl':338C 'cloth':197C 'cloud':319C 'come':98C 'cover':315C 'cri':33C,138C 'danc':189C 'death':152C 'delight':359C,368C 'determin':263C 'dismay':132C 'dust':162C 'earth':323C 'exalt':10C 'exil':250C 'face':129C 'faith':70C,170C 'favor':86C,117C 'fear':372C 'fit':238C 'foe':24C 'food':335C 'forev':222C 'gather':248C 'give':71C,218C 'go':155C 'god':31C,215C,234C,310C 'gone':59C 'good':226C 'grass':328C 'great':275C 'ground':299C 'grow':329C 'harp':313C 'heal':3A,41C,254C 'hear':171C 'help':37C 'helper':182C 'hid':127C 'hill':332C 'holi':75C 'hope':377C 'hors':356C 'humbl':292C 'israel':252C 'jerusalem':246C 'joy':97C,200C 'last':80C,87C 'leg':362C 'let':22C 'life':55C 'lifetim':89C 'limit':287C 'linger':92C 'lord':12C,29C,44C,68C,119C,136C,141C,173C,179C,213C,243C,278C,289C,303C,367C 'love':381C 'made':121C 'make':306C,327C 'may':91C,205C 'merci':145C,176C 'mighti':280C 'moment':83C 'morn':101C 'mountain':123C 'mourn':187C 'move':114C 'music':307C 'name':76C,274C 'never':112C 'night':95C 'number':265C 'o':28C,43C,118C,135C,172C,212C 'pit':63C,159C 'plead':143C 'pleasant':236C 'pleasur':348C 'power':282C 'prais':65C,163C,206C,231C,240C 'profit':147C 'prosper':109C 'provid':334C 'psalm':1A,6C,223C 'put':375C 'rain':325C 'rais':16C 'raven':343C 'rejoic':25C 'restor':5A,52C 'sackcloth':195C 'said':106C 'shall':111C 'sheol':51C 'silent':211C 'sing':64C,230C,300C 'sky':317C 'soul':48C,204C 'stand':124C 'star':268C 'strength':353C 'strong':125C 'suppli':321C 'sustain':290C 'taken':192C 'tell':167C 'thank':72C,219C 'thanksgiv':305C 'turn':185C 'understand':284C 'unfail':380C 'warrior':365C 'weep':90C 'wick':296C 'wound':261C 'young':342C6f:T411,Psalm 46

God is for us a refuge and strength,
a helper close at hand in time of distress.
So we shall not fear though the earth should rock,
though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea.

The floods may rage and foam,
though the mountains tremble at their onset.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy dwelling of the Most High.

God is within, it shall not fall;
God will help it at dawn.
The nations rage, kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come and see the works of the Lord,
the devastations he has wrought on the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow, shatters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire.

“Be still and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
exalted on the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.70:T55f,Psalm 98

Sing a new song to the Lord
for he has worked wonders.
His right hand and his holy arm
have brought salvation.

The Lord has made known his salvation;
has shown his justice to the nations.
He has remembered his truth and love
for the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
ring out your joy.

Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp,
with the sound of music.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
acclaim the King, the Lord.

Let the sea and all within it thunder;
the world, and all its peoples.
Let the rivers clap their hands
and the hills ring out their joy
at the presence of the Lord: for he comes,
he comes to rule the earth.

He will rule the world with justice
and the peoples with fairness.

Psalm 100

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.

Know that he, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to him,
we are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.

Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.71:T453,'100':161C '98':7C 'acclaim':101C 'age':241C,243C 'arm':26C 'belong':194C 'bless':224C 'brought':28C 'celebr':5A 'clap':123C 'come':141C,143C,177C 'court':214C 'cri':162C 'earth':61C,75C,147C,171C 'end':58C 'enter':212C 'etern':233C 'fair':159C 'faith':239C 'flock':205C 'gate':209C 'give':210C,219C 'glad':176C 'go':206C 'god':68C,189C 'good':229C 'hand':22C,125C 'harp':87C 'hill':128C 'holi':25C 'horn':100C 'hous':53C 'inde':227C 'israel':55C 'joy':3A,79C,132C,165C,182C 'justic':40C,154C 'king':103C 'know':183C 'known':34C 'let':106C,120C 'lord':14C,31C,72C,84C,105C,138C,168C,174C,187C,232C 'love':50C,236C 'made':33C,191C 'merci':235C 'music':92C 'name':226C 'nation':43C 'new':10C 'peopl':119C,157C,200C 'prais':218C 'presenc':135C 'psalm':1A,6C,81C,160C 'rememb':46C 'right':21C 'ring':76C,129C 'river':122C 'rule':145C,150C 'salvat':29C,36C,65C 'sea':108C 'seen':63C 'serv':172C 'sheep':202C 'shout':69C 'shown':38C 'sing':8C,80C,180C 'song':11C,216C 'sound':90C,97C 'thank':211C,220C 'thunder':113C 'trumpet':94C 'truth':48C 'us':192C 'within':111C,207C 'wonder':19C 'work':18C 'world':115C,152C72:Taf4,Psalm 73

Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
my steps had nearly slipped.

For I was envious of the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

They have no pangs; their bodies are sound and sleek.
They are free from common human ills;
they are not plagued like other men.

Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.
Their eyes bulge with fatness;
they do what their hearts desire.

They scoff, and wickedly speak of oppression;
they speak from on high.

They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.

Therefore, the people turn to them
and find in them no fault.

And they say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they increase in riches.

All in vain have I kept my heart pure
and washed my hands in innocence.

For all the day long I have been plagued,
and chastened every morning.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

When I tried to understand all this,
it was oppressive to me,
until I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I perceived their end.

Truly you set them in slippery places;
you cast them down to destruction.

How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!

Like a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when you arise, you will despise them as phantoms.

When my heart was embittered
and I was pierced within,

I was foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast toward you.

Nevertheless I am always with you;
you hold my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me with honor.

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 42

As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.

When can I enter and appear before God?
My tears have become my food
both day and night,
while people say to me continually,
“Where is your God?”

These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.

Why are you cast down, my soul,
and why groan within me?
Hope in God; I will praise him again,
my savior and my God.73:T8e4,'42':353C '73':7C 'afterward':308C 'almost':28C 'alway':151C,293C 'appear':383C 'aris':261C 'arrog':41C 'awak':256C 'away':248C 'beast':287C 'becom':389C 'behold':146C,194C 'besid':331C 'betray':198C 'bodi':55C 'bulg':86C 'cast':236C,446C 'chasten':183C 'children':203C 'cloth':80C 'common':64C 'complet':246C 'continu':401C 'counsel':306C 'day':176C,393C 'deer':356C 'desir':94C,330C 'despis':264C 'destroy':245C 'destruct':240C 'dream':253C 'earth':120C,327C 'eas':153C 'embitt':272C 'end':227C 'enter':218C,381C 'envious':38C 'everi':184C 'eye':85C 'fail':339C 'faith':5A 'fat':88C 'fault':132C 'feet':26C 'festiv':442C 'find':128C 'flesh':334C 'flow':359C 'food':391C 'foolish':280C 'forev':351C 'free':62C 'generat':200C 'glad':433C 'god':9C,138C,222C,341C,368C,373C,377C,385C,405C,431C,457C,467C 'good':11C 'groan':452C 'guid':302C 'hand':170C,300C 'heart':20C,93C,165C,270C,337C,347C 'heaven':113C,319C 'high':106C,143C 'hold':297C 'honor':314C 'hope':455C 'hous':429C 'human':65C 'ignor':282C 'ill':66C 'increas':155C 'innoc':172C 'israel':13C 'keep':441C 'kept':163C 'know':139C 'knowledg':145C 'lack':3A 'led':423C 'like':71C,251C,285C 'live':376C 'long':177C,357C,364C 'lord':258C 'may':338C 'men':73C 'morn':185C 'mouth':110C 'multitud':440C 'near':33C 'necklac':78C 'nevertheless':290C 'night':395C 'noth':325C 'o':257C,367C 'one':255C 'oppress':101C,213C 'pang':53C 'peopl':123C,397C 'perceiv':225C 'phantom':267C 'pierc':276C 'place':234C 'plagu':70C,181C 'portion':350C 'pour':412C 'prais':460C 'pride':75C 'process':426C 'prosper':46C 'psalm':1A,6C,352C 'pure':18C,166C 'receiv':311C 'rememb':409C 'rich':157C 'right':299C 'said':189C 'sanctuari':220C 'savior':464C 'saw':44C 'say':135C,398C 'scoff':96C 'set':108C,230C 'shout':434C 'sleek':59C 'slip':34C 'slipperi':233C 'song':436C 'soul':363C,370C,415C,449C 'sound':57C 'speak':99C,103C,192C 'step':31C 'stream':360C 'strength':344C 'strut':117C 'stumbl':29C 'sudden':242C 'sure':8C 'swept':247C 'tear':387C 'terror':250C 'thanksgiv':438C 'therefor':74C,121C 'thing':407C 'thirst':371C 'throng':421C 'thus':193C 'tongu':116C 'toward':288C 'tri':206C 'truli':228C 'turn':124C 'understand':208C 'upon':326C 'vain':160C 'violenc':83C 'wash':168C 'went':418C 'wick':49C,98C,150C 'within':277C,453C 'would':196C74:T733,Psalm 5

To my words give ear, O Lord,
give heed to my groaning.
Attend to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God.

It is you whom I invoke, O Lord.
In the morning you hear me;
in the morning I offer you my prayer,
watching and waiting.

You are no God who loves evil;
no sinner is your guest.
The boastful shall not stand their ground
before your face.

You hate all who do evil;
you destroy all who lie.
The deceitful and bloodthirsty man
the Lord detests.

But I, through the greatness of your love,
have access to your house.
I bow down before your holy temple,
filled with awe.

Lead me, Lord, in your justice,
because of those who lie in wait;
make clear your way before me.

No truth can be found in their mouths,
their heart is all mischief.
Their throat a wide-open grave,
all honey their speech.

All those you protect shall be glad
and ring out their joy.
You shelter them; in you they rejoice,
those who love your name.

It is you who bless the just man, Lord:
you surround him with favor as with a shield.

Psalm 63

O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water.

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.
For your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.

On my bed I remember you.
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast.75:T5ef,'5':6C '63':206C 'access':106C 'attend':19C 'awe':119C 'banquet':288C 'bed':298C 'better':254C 'bless':191C,266C 'bloodthirsti':92C 'boast':69C 'bodi':224C 'bow':111C 'clear':134C 'cling':325C 'cri':25C 'deceit':90C 'destroy':85C 'detest':96C 'dri':230C 'ear':11C 'evil':62C,83C 'face':77C 'fast':333C 'favor':200C 'fill':117C,284C 'found':143C 'gaze':237C 'give':10C,14C 'glad':169C 'glori':249C 'god':30C,59C,208C,212C 'grave':158C 'great':101C 'groan':18C 'ground':74C 'guest':67C 'hand':279C,330C 'hate':79C 'hear':43C 'heart':148C 'heed':15C 'help':314C 'hold':331C 'holi':115C 'honey':160C 'hous':109C 'invok':36C 'joy':174C,295C 'justic':125C 'king':27C 'land':232C 'lead':120C 'lie':88C,130C 'life':256C,270C 'lift':276C 'like':228C 'lip':258C 'long':216C 'lord':13C,38C,95C,122C,195C 'love':61C,104C,184C,252C 'make':133C 'man':93C,194C 'mischief':151C 'morn':3A,41C,47C 'mouth':146C,290C 'muse':305C 'name':186C,273C 'night':308C 'o':12C,37C,207C 'offer':49C 'open':157C 'pine':225C 'prais':262C,292C 'prayer':4A,52C 'protect':166C 'psalm':1A,5C,205C 'rejoic':181C,322C 'rememb':300C 'right':329C 'ring':171C 'sanctuari':242C 'see':244C 'shadow':317C 'shall':70C,167C,282C,291C 'shelter':176C 'shield':204C 'sinner':64C 'soul':220C,281C,324C 'sound':22C 'speak':260C 'speech':162C 'stand':72C 'strength':246C 'surround':197C 'templ':116C 'thirst':222C 'throat':153C 'truth':140C 'wait':55C,132C 'watch':53C 'water':234C 'way':136C 'weari':231C 'wide':156C 'wide-open':155C 'wing':320C 'without':233C 'word':9C76:T8be,Psalm 4

When I call, answer me, O God of justice;
from anguish you released me, have mercy and hear me!

O men, how long will your hearts be closed,
will you love what is futile and seek what is false?

It is the Lord who grants favors to those whom he loves;
the Lord hears me whenever I call him.

Fear him; do not sin: ponder on your bed and be still.
Make justice your sacrifice, and trust in the Lord.

‘What can bring us happiness?’ many say.
Lift up the light of your face on us, O Lord.

You have put into my heart a greater joy
than they have from abundance of corn and new wine.

I will lie down in peace and sleep comes at once,
for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
and abides in the shade of the Almighty
says to the Lord: “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust.”

It is he who will free you from the snare
of the fowler who seeks to destroy you;
he will conceal you with his pinions
and under his wings you will find refuge.

You will not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the plague that prowls in the darkness
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand fall at your right,
you, it will never approach;
his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

Your eyes have only to look
to see how the wicked are repaid,
you who have said: “Lord, my refuge!”
and have made the Most High your dwelling.

Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.

For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.
They shall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

Since he clings to me in love, I will free him;
protect him for he knows my name.
When he calls I shall answer: “I am with you.”
I will save him in distress and give him glory.
With length of life I will content him;
I shall let him see my saving power.77:T742,'4':7C '91':146C 'abid':158C 'abund':119C 'almighti':164C 'alon':138C 'angel':314C 'anguish':18C 'answer':11C,377C 'approach':261C,304C 'arrow':223C 'bear':324C 'bed':75C 'bring':90C 'buckler':265C 'call':10C,65C,374C 'cling':356C 'close':35C 'come':133C 'command':312C 'conceal':199C 'content':398C 'corn':121C 'dark':235C 'day':227C 'destroy':195C 'distress':387C 'dragon':353C 'dwell':142C,149C,295C,307C 'evil':299C 'eye':269C 'face':101C 'faith':263C 'fall':247C,253C,301C 'fals':46C 'favor':53C 'fear':67C,215C 'find':210C 'fli':225C 'foot':333C 'fowler':191C 'free':184C,363C 'futil':41C 'give':389C 'glori':391C 'god':14C,174C 'grant':52C 'greater':113C 'hand':328C 'happi':92C 'hear':25C,61C 'heart':33C,111C 'high':156C,293C 'joy':114C 'justic':16C,80C 'keep':316C 'know':369C 'lay':240C 'length':393C 'lest':329C 'let':402C 'lie':127C 'life':395C 'lift':95C 'light':98C 'lion':339C,350C 'long':30C 'look':273C 'lord':50C,60C,87C,105C,139C,168C,285C 'love':38C,58C,360C 'made':290C 'make':79C,140C 'mani':93C 'may':246C 'men':28C 'merci':23C 'name':371C 'never':260C 'new':123C 'night':3A,220C 'noon':243C 'o':13C,27C,104C 'peac':130C 'pinion':203C 'plagu':230C,303C 'ponder':72C 'power':407C 'protect':365C 'prowl':232C 'psalm':1A,6C,145C 'put':108C 'refug':170C,211C,287C 'releas':20C 'repaid':280C 'rest':5A 'right':256C 'sacrific':82C 'safeti':144C 'said':284C 'save':384C,406C 'say':94C,165C 'scourg':238C 'see':275C,404C 'seek':43C,193C 'shade':161C 'shall':300C,323C,376C,401C 'shelter':152C 'shield':267C 'side':250C 'sin':71C 'sinc':354C 'sleep':132C 'snare':188C 'still':78C 'stone':336C 'strike':331C 'stronghold':172C 'ten':251C 'terror':217C 'thousand':245C,252C 'trampl':347C 'tread':345C 'trust':84C,178C 'upon':296C,326C 'us':91C,103C 'viper':342C 'wast':241C 'way':321C 'whenev':63C 'wick':278C 'wine':124C 'wing':207C 'young':349C78:T5dc,Psalm 42

Like the deer that yearns for running streams,
so my soul is yearning for you, my God.
My soul is thirsting for God,
the God of my life.

When can I enter and see the face of God?
My tears have become my bread
by day and by night,
while people say to me continually,
“Where is your God?”

These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.

Why are you cast down, my soul,
and why groan within me?
Hope in God; I will praise him again,
my saviour and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of Jordan,
the heights of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

By day the Lord will command his steadfast love,
and at night his song will be with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God, my rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Like a crushing wound in my bones,
my enemies taunt me,
while they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”

Why are you cast down, my soul,
and why groan within me?
Hope in God; I will praise him again,
my saviour and my God.79:T45c,'42':7C 'becom':49C 'bone':228C 'bread':51C 'breaker':167C 'call':154C 'cast':107C,132C,248C 'cataract':162C 'command':177C 'continu':62C 'crush':224C 'day':53C,173C,239C 'deep':153C,156C 'deer':10C 'enemi':221C,230C 'enter':39C 'face':43C 'festiv':103C 'forgotten':208C 'glad':94C 'go':213C 'god':24C,30C,32C,45C,66C,92C,118C,128C,194C,202C,244C,259C,269C 'groan':113C,254C 'height':147C 'hermon':149C 'hope':116C,257C 'hous':90C 'jordan':145C 'keep':102C 'land':143C 'led':84C 'life':35C,197C 'like':8C,222C 'long':240C 'lord':175C 'love':180C 'mizar':152C 'mount':151C 'mourn':214C 'multitud':101C 'night':56C,183C 'oppress':218C 'peopl':58C 'pour':73C 'prais':121C,262C 'prayer':191C 'process':87C 'psalm':1A,6C 'rememb':70C,139C 'rock':204C 'run':14C 'sad':3A 'saviour':125C,266C 'say':59C,200C,235C 'see':41C 'shout':95C 'song':97C,185C 'sorrow':5A 'soul':18C,26C,76C,110C,130C,251C 'steadfast':179C 'stream':15C 'swept':169C 'taunt':231C 'tear':47C 'thanksgiv':99C 'therefor':136C 'thing':68C 'thirst':28C 'throng':82C 'thunder':159C 'wave':165C 'went':79C 'within':114C,134C,255C 'wound':225C 'yearn':12C,20C7a:T438,Psalm 35

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler,
and rise for my help.

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers;
say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Let those be put to shame and dishonor
who seek after my life.
Let those be turned back and disappointed
who devise evil against me.

Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them away.
Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

For without cause they hid their net for me;
without cause they dug a pit for my life.
Let ruin come upon them unawares!
Let the net that they hid ensnare them;
let them fall into it—to their ruin!

Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord;
it shall exult in his salvation.
All my bones shall say,
“O Lord, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”7b:Td10,Psalm 55

Give ear to my prayer, O God;
do not hide from my pleading;
hear me and answer me.

My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering upon me
and rouse their fury against me.

My heart is in anguish within me,
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.

And I said, “Who can give me wings
to fly away and be at rest?
Look, I am fleeing away to the faraway,
I will dwell in the desert.”

I hasten to escape
before the storm and tempest.

Cast your burden on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never allow the just to stumble.

Psalm 77

I cry aloud to God,
cry aloud to God that he may hear me.
In the day of my distress I sought the Lord.
My hands were raised at night without ceasing;
my soul refused to be consoled.

I remembered my God and I groaned,
I pondered and my spirit fainted.
You withheld sleep from my eyes.
I was troubled, I could not speak.
I thought of the days of long ago
and remembered the years long past.

At night I mused within my heart.
I pondered and my spirit questioned:
“Will the Lord reject us forever?
Will he show us his favor no more?”

Has his love vanished forever?
Has his promise come to an end?
Does God forget his mercy
or in anger withhold his compassion?

I said: This is what causes my grief;
that the way of the Most High has changed.
I remember the deeds of the Lord,
I remember your wonders of old.

I muse on all your works
and ponder your mighty deeds.What god is as great as our God?
You are the God who works wonders.
You showed your power among the peoples.

Your strong arm redeemed your people,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
The waters saw you, O God,
the waters saw you and trembled;
the depths were moved with terror.

The clouds poured down rain,
the skies sent forth their voice;
your arrows flashed to and fro.

Your thunder rolled round the sky,
your flashes lighted up the world.
The earth was moved and trembled
when your way led through the sea,
your path through the mighty waters
and no one saw your footprints.

You guided your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 6

O Lord, do not reprove me in your anger;
punish me not in your rage.
Have mercy on me, Lord, I have no strength;
Lord, heal me, my body is racked.

My soul is racked with pain.
But you, O Lord… how long?
Return, Lord, rescue my soul.
Save me in your merciful love.

For in death no one remembers you;
from the grave, who can give you praise?

I am exhausted with my groaning;
every night I drench my pillow with tears,
I bedew my bed with weeping.
My eye wastes away with grief;
I have grown old surrounded by my foes.

Leave me, all who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.

Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.

For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.7e:T4c6,'139':7C 'acquaint':45C 'afar':33C 'altogeth':64C 'ascend':109C 'attain':90C 'bed':119C 'behind':69C 'behold':58C 'book':259C 'bright':183C 'cannot':89C 'cover':163C 'dark':161C,174C,177C,188C 'day':186C,267C 'depth':247C 'discern':29C 'dwell':134C 'earth':250C 'even':50C,142C,172C 'everi':262C 'eye':252C 'fear':215C 'flee':103C 'form':196C,270C 'frame':230C 'go':95C 'hand':75C,145C,152C 'heaven':111C 'hem':66C 'hidden':233C 'high':87C 'hold':154C 'intric':243C 'inward':198C 'knit':201C 'know':18C,62C,225C 'knowledg':79C 'known':15C 'lay':73C 'lead':147C 'lie':41C 'light':167C,191C 'loneli':5A 'lord':9C,60C 'made':218C,240C 'make':117C 'morn':132C 'mother':206C 'night':171C,181C 'none':278C 'o':8C,59C 'one':263C 'part':138C,199C 'path':38C 'prais':210C 'presenc':106C 'psalm':1A,6C 'right':151C 'rise':26C 'saw':253C 'say':158C 'sea':141C 'search':12C,35C 'secret':242C 'shall':93C,101C,146C,153C,162C 'sheol':121C 'sit':21C 'soul':224C 'spirit':98C 'substanc':256C 'sure':159C 'take':127C 'thought':31C 'time':3A 'togeth':203C 'tongu':57C 'unform':255C 'upon':76C 'uttermost':137C 'way':49C 'well':228C 'wing':129C 'womb':208C 'wonder':82C,217C,219C 'word':53C 'work':222C 'woven':244C 'written':261C 'yet':275C7f:T7cc,Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures
where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me,
to revive my drooping spirit.
He guides me along the right path;
he is true to his name.

Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death
no harm would I fear,
for you are at my side;
your rod and your staff will give me courage.

You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for length of days.

Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in distress.
Therefore we are not afraid,
though the earth should rock,
though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea;
though its waters rage and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its surging.

There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God,
the holy dwelling of the Most High.
God is within, it shall not fall;
God will help it at dawn.

The nations are in uproar, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
from where shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer your foot to slip;
he who watches over you will not sleep.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord himself watches over you;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your soul.
The Lord will keep watch over your going and coming
both now and for evermore.80:T6e5,'121':244C '23':5C '46':134C 'afraid':152C 'along':42C 'anoint':97C 'bring':187C 'citi':191C 'come':256C,262C,348C 'comfort':3A 'courag':83C 'cup':103C 'dawn':213C 'day':115C,132C,320C 'death':63C 'depth':164C 'distress':147C 'droop':37C 'dwell':122C,196C 'earth':155C,227C,270C 'ever':143C 'ever-pres':142C 'evermor':353C 'evil':333C 'eye':249C 'fall':161C,207C 'fear':68C 'foam':173C 'foe':95C 'follow':111C 'foot':276C 'fresh':17C 'give':25C,81C 'go':346C 'god':135C,193C,201C,208C,237C 'good':107C 'green':19C 'guid':40C 'hand':312C 'harm':65C,317C 'head':99C 'heaven':268C 'help':145C,210C,258C,260C 'high':200C 'holi':195C 'host':232C 'hous':125C 'inde':287C 'israel':292C 'jacob':239C 'joy':188C 'keep':329C,336C,342C 'kind':109C 'kingdom':220C 'lead':32C 'length':130C 'life':118C 'lift':246C 'lord':7C,128C,230C,265C,299C,305C,327C,340C 'made':267C 'melt':228C 'moon':323C 'mountain':160C,176C,252C 'name':51C 'nation':215C 'near':28C 'neither':294C 'night':325C 'noth':13C 'oil':101C 'overflow':105C 'pastur':22C 'path':45C 'present':144C 'psalm':1A,4C,133C,243C 'rage':171C 'refug':138C 'repos':27C 'rest':29C 'reviv':35C 'right':44C,311C 'river':184C 'rock':157C 'rod':76C 'sea':167C 'shade':308C 'shadow':61C 'shall':15C,110C,121C,205C,255C,261C,293C,315C 'shepherd':10C 'side':74C 'sight':92C 'sleep':286C,297C 'slip':278C 'slumber':295C 'soul':338C 'spirit':38C 'spread':85C 'staff':79C 'stream':186C 'strength':140C 'stronghold':242C 'suffer':274C 'sun':314C 'sure':106C 'surg':180C 'tabl':87C 'therefor':148C 'though':52C,153C,158C,168C,174C 'totter':221C 'trembl':177C 'true':48C 'uproar':218C 'us':235C 'utter':223C 'valley':58C 'voic':225C 'walk':55C 'want':16C 'watch':281C,290C,301C,343C 'water':30C,170C 'whose':185C 'within':203C 'would':66C81:Tae6,Psalm 34

I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast;
the humble shall hear and be glad.

Glorify the Lord with me;
together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
from all my terrors he set me free.

Look toward him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
This poor man called; the Lord heard him
and saved him from all his distress.

The angel of the Lord is encamped
around those who revere him, to rescue them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are those who seek refuge in him.

Fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
Strong lions suffer want and go hungry
but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.

Psalm 18

I love you, Lord, my strength,
the Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield, the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The waves of death surged round me;
the torrents of perdition overwhelmed me.

The cords of the netherworld entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry to him reached his ears.

The earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled;
they reeled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils,
consuming fire from his mouth;
burning coals blazed forth.

He reached down from on high,
he took me; he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemies,
from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

They confronted me at the day of my disaster;
but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

Psalm 40

I waited, I waited for the Lord;
he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
He drew me out of the pit of doom,
out of the mud and clay.

He set my feet upon a rock
and made firm my steps.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Many shall see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.

How great is the Lord’s goodness,
which he has laid up for those who fear him,
which he has wrought for those who take refuge in him,
before the eyes of all mankind.

He has shown his saving power
in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his kindness and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.82:T8cb,'18':151C '34':5C '40':360C 'abash':74C 'alway':16C 'angel':91C 'angri':279C 'answer':53C 'around':97C 'blaze':292C 'bless':8C,149C 'boast':28C 'brought':344C 'burn':290C 'call':78C,192C,238C 'clay':390C 'coal':291C 'confront':232C,329C 'consum':285C 'cord':222C 'cri':243C,257C,375C 'day':333C 'death':211C,231C 'deep':308C 'delight':356C 'deliver':3A,166C 'disast':336C 'distress':89C,236C 'doom':384C 'drew':304C,377C 'ear':262C 'earth':264C,491C 'encamp':96C 'end':488C 'enemi':207C,316C 'entangl':226C 'eye':458C 'face':71C 'faith':480C 'fear':121C,130C,420C,443C 'feet':394C 'fire':286C 'firm':400C 'forth':293C 'fortress':164C 'foundat':269C 'free':62C 'glad':35C 'glorifi':36C 'go':139C 'god':168C,246C,415C,498C 'good':112C,434C 'great':429C 'happi':113C 'hate':320C 'hear':32C 'heard':81C,253C,373C 'heaven':272C 'help':248C 'high':299C 'horn':182C 'hous':483C 'humbl':30C 'hungri':140C 'hymn':412C 'israel':485C 'kind':478C 'lack':132C,147C 'laid':438C 'let':42C,69C 'lion':135C 'lip':19C 'look':63C 'lord':10C,22C,38C,50C,80C,94C,110C,123C,146C,155C,159C,195C,241C,339C,367C,427C,432C 'love':153C 'made':399C 'make':26C 'man':77C 'mani':416C 'mankind':461C 'mouth':289C,410C 'mud':388C 'name':46C 'nation':473C 'netherworld':225C 'new':406C 'nostril':284C 'noth':133C 'overwhelm':219C 'perdit':218C 'pit':382C 'place':350C 'poor':76C 'power':315C,467C 'prais':15C,44C,200C 'psalm':1A,4C,150C,359C 'put':404C,422C 'radiant':68C 'reach':260C,295C 'reel':265C,275C 'refug':118C,176C,190C,453C 'rememb':476C 'rescu':103C,311C,352C 'rever':100C 'rock':162C,171C,267C,397C 'rose':281C 'round':213C 'saint':126C 'salvat':185C,495C 'save':84C,204C,466C 'see':107C,418C 'seek':117C,144C 'seen':493C 'set':60C,392C 'shall':25C,31C,417C 'shield':180C 'shown':464C 'sight':470C 'smoke':280C 'snare':229C 'song':407C 'sought':48C 'soul':24C 'spacious':349C 'step':402C 'stoop':369C 'strength':157C 'strong':134C,325C 'stronghold':187C 'suffer':136C 'support':342C 'surg':212C 'take':175C,452C 'tast':105C 'templ':251C 'terror':58C 'time':13C 'togeth':41C 'took':301C 'torrent':216C 'toward':64C,370C 'trembl':273C 'trust':424C 'upon':193C,239C,395C 'us':43C 'voic':255C 'wait':362C,364C 'want':137C 'water':309C 'wave':209C 'worthi':198C 'wrought':448C83:T597,Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
before whom shall I shrink?

When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh,
these my enemies and foes will stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war be waged against me,
even then will I trust.

One thing I ask of the Lord,
this I seek:
to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.

For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will set me high upon a rock.

Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tent I will offer sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Hear my voice when I call, O Lord;
be merciful and answer me.

Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.

Teach me your way, O Lord;
lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.

Do not abandon me to the will of my foes;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
breathing out violence.

I believe I shall see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord;
be strong; take heart;
and wait for the Lord!84:T4ac,'27':7C 'abandon':217C 'answer':185C 'armi':52C 'ask':75C 'assail':35C 'beauti':100C 'believ':236C 'breath':232C 'call':179C 'conceal':126C 'confid':5A 'cover':130C 'day':92C,121C 'devour':38C 'dwell':83C 'encamp':53C 'enemi':43C,150C,214C 'even':67C 'evildo':34C 'exalt':147C 'fall':49C 'fals':226C 'father':189C 'fear':19C,60C 'flesh':40C 'foe':45C,224C 'forsak':192C 'gaze':97C 'good':243C 'head':144C 'hear':174C 'heart':57C,257C 'hide':114C 'high':138C 'hope':3A 'hous':86C 'joy':164C 'land':246C 'lead':205C 'level':209C 'life':27C,95C 'light':12C 'live':249C 'lord':9C,21C,78C,89C,103C,173C,181C,195C,204C,241C,253C,262C 'make':169C 'merci':183C 'mother':191C 'music':170C 'o':180C,203C 'offer':159C 'one':72C 'path':210C 'psalm':1A,6C 'receiv':197C 'risen':229C 'rock':141C 'sacrific':160C 'salvat':15C 'see':239C 'seek':81C,106C 'set':136C 'shall':17C,30C,238C 'shelter':118C 'shout':162C 'shrink':32C 'sing':167C 'strong':255C 'stronghold':24C 'stumbl':47C 'surround':152C 'take':256C 'teach':199C 'templ':110C 'tent':133C,156C 'thing':73C 'though':50C,61C,187C 'troubl':123C 'trust':71C 'upon':139C 'violenc':234C 'voic':176C 'wage':64C 'wait':250C,259C 'war':62C 'way':202C 'wit':227C85:Tb38,Psalm 100

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.

Know that he, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to him.
We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.

Because the Lord is good,
his kindness is everlasting,
and his faithfulness lasts from age to age.

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord my God, you are great indeed!
You are clothed with majesty and splendour,
wrapped in light as in a robe.

He makes the clouds his chariot;
he walks on the wings of the wind.
He makes his angels spirits,
his ministers flames of fire.

He founded the earth on its base,
to stand firm from age to age.
He wrapped the sea in its robes;
the waters stood firm, unmoving,
over the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled;
at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
They rose over the mountains and fell down in the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.

You fixed the earth on its foundations;
it shall never be moved.
You covered it with the deep as with a mantle;
the waters stood higher than the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled;
at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

You made springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills.
They give drink to every wild animal;
the wild asses quench their thirst.

Beside them the birds of the air make their nests;
they sing among the branches.

He waters the mountains from his palace;
the earth is filled with the fruit of your work.

How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.

There is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with living things beyond number—
living things both large and small.

All of these look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.

When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are well filled.

When you hide your face, they are troubled;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to the dust.

When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
and you renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord last forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—

who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.

I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live.

May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.

Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
Bless the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord!86:T8d2,'100':7C '103':86C 'age':82C,84C,148C,150C 'air':273C 'among':279C 'angel':130C 'anim':260C 'ass':263C 'assign':195C 'away':179C,240C,382C 'base':143C 'belong':40C 'besid':267C 'beyond':330C 'bird':270C 'bless':65C,87C,485C 'branch':281C 'breath':384C 'chariot':118C 'cloth':101C 'cloud':116C 'come':23C 'consum':474C 'court':58C 'cover':211C 'creat':400C 'creatur':318C 'cri':8C 'deep':215C 'die':386C 'drink':256C 'dust':391C 'earth':17C,140C,201C,290C,313C,408C,428C,477C 'enter':52C 'everi':258C 'everlast':76C 'face':375C,405C 'faith':79C 'fell':186C 'fill':292C,370C 'fire':136C 'firm':146C,161C 'fix':199C 'flame':134C 'fled':170C,231C 'flock':51C 'flow':250C 'food':348C 'forev':416C 'forth':245C,395C 'found':138C 'foundat':204C 'fruit':295C 'full':315C 'gate':54C 'gather':360C 'give':61C,255C,345C,355C 'glad':22C 'glori':411C 'god':35C,94C,454C 'good':72C 'great':97C 'gush':244C 'hand':366C 'hide':373C 'higher':223C 'hill':253C 'hurri':178C,239C 'inde':98C 'joy':11C,28C 'kind':74C 'know':29C 'larg':335C 'last':80C,415C 'let':471C,479C 'life':447C 'light':108C 'live':328C,332C,457C 'look':341C,425C 'lord':14C,20C,33C,70C,89C,92C,304C,414C,419C,444C,470C,487C,492C 'made':37C,242C,309C 'majesti':103C 'make':114C,128C,274C 'mani':300C 'mantl':219C 'may':409C,417C,458C 'medit':460C 'minist':133C 'mountain':165C,184C,226C,285C,435C 'move':209C 'name':67C 'nest':276C 'never':207C 'number':331C 'open':364C 'palac':288C 'peopl':46C 'place':193C 'pleas':462C 'prais':3A,60C,451C,490C 'proper':351C 'psalm':1A,6C,85C 'quench':264C 'rebuk':168C,229C 'rejoic':420C,467C 'renew':403C 'return':388C 'robe':112C,157C 'rose':181C 'sea':154C,322C 'send':394C 'serv':18C 'shall':206C 'sheep':48C 'sing':26C,278C,441C,450C 'sinner':472C 'small':337C 'smoke':438C 'soul':91C,489C 'spirit':131C,397C 'splendour':105C 'spring':243C 'stand':145C 'stood':160C,222C 'take':381C 'teem':326C 'thank':62C 'thanksgiv':5A,56C 'thing':329C,333C 'thirst':266C 'thunder':176C,237C 'time':352C 'touch':433C 'trembl':431C 'troubl':378C 'unmov':162C 'us':38C 'valley':190C,248C 'vast':323C 'voic':173C,234C 'walk':120C 'water':159C,221C,283C 'well':369C 'wick':481C 'wide':325C 'wild':259C,262C 'wind':126C 'wing':123C 'wisdom':306C 'work':298C,303C,423C 'wrap':106C,152C87:T5bd,Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
and abides in the shade of the Almighty
will say to the Lord, “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!”

He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare
and from the destroying plague.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a protecting shield.

You shall not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the plague that roams in darkness,
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it shall not come near you.
You need only watch;
you shall see the punishment of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
the Most High your stronghold,
no evil shall befall you,
no affliction come near your tent.

For he will command his angels
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the asp and the viper;
you will trample the lion and the dragon.

Because he clings to me, I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will deliver him and give him glory.

I will grant him length of days
and show him my saving power.88:T485,'91':5C 'abid':17C 'afflict':156C 'almighti':23C 'angel':166C 'answer':232C 'arrow':85C 'asp':195C 'bear':179C 'befal':153C 'call':227C 'cling':209C 'come':122C,157C 'command':164C 'cover':55C 'dark':96C 'day':89C,255C 'deliv':214C,243C 'destroy':51C 'distress':240C 'dragon':206C 'dwell':8C 'evil':151C 'faith':69C 'fall':108C 'fear':77C 'find':66C 'fli':87C 'foot':186C 'fowler':45C 'give':246C 'glori':248C 'god':34C 'grant':251C 'guard':168C 'hand':117C,176C 'high':15C,147C 'know':222C 'lay':101C 'length':253C 'lest':182C 'lion':203C 'lord':28C,142C 'made':140C 'may':107C 'name':224C 'near':123C,158C 'need':126C 'night':82C 'noon':104C 'pinion':59C 'plagu':52C,92C 'power':261C 'protect':3A,72C,218C 'psalm':1A,4C 'punish':133C 'refug':30C,67C,144C 'rescu':41C 'right':116C 'roam':94C 'save':260C 'say':25C 'scourg':99C 'see':131C 'shade':20C 'shall':75C,120C,130C,152C 'shelter':11C 'shield':73C 'show':257C 'side':111C 'snare':47C 'stone':189C 'strike':184C 'stronghold':32C,149C 'ten':112C 'tent':160C 'terror':79C 'thousand':106C,113C 'trampl':201C 'tread':192C 'trust':38C 'viper':198C 'wast':102C 'watch':128C 'way':173C 'wick':136C 'wing':63C89:T936,Psalm 32

Happy the one whose offense is forgiven,
whose sin is remitted.
Happy the one to whom the Lord imputes no guilt,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

While I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For your hand was heavy upon me day and night,
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.

I acknowledged my offense to you,
my guilt I did not hide.
I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord.”
And you took away the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you in time of trouble;
when great floodwaters rise, they shall not reach them.
You are a place to hide me from trouble;
you surround me with deliverance.

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will guide you with my eye.
Do not be like the horse or the mule, without understanding,
whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle,
else it will not stay near you.

Many are the torments of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 51

Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
In your compassion blot out my offense.
O wash me more and more from my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
nor deprive me of your holy spirit.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in me a willing spirit.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways
and sinners shall return to you.

Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, my saving God,
and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare your praise.

For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you take no pleasure in burnt offering.

The sacrifice acceptable to God
is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Be gracious to Zion in your good pleasure;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Then you will delight in right sacrifices,
burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.8a:T805,'32':5C '51':218C 'accept':357C 'acknowledg':71C 'altar':408C 'away':42C,95C,268C 'bit':172C 'bloodsh':310C 'blot':230C 'bone':40C 'bridl':174C 'broken':362C,365C 'bull':402C 'burnt':353C,395C,399C 'cast':266C 'clean':253C 'cleans':244C 'compass':229C 'confess':86C 'contrit':367C 'creat':249C 'curb':170C 'day':47C,56C 'deceit':34C 'declar':333C 'delight':340C,391C 'deliv':307C 'deliver':135C 'depriv':273C 'despis':374C 'dri':62C 'els':175C 'eye':154C 'faith':105C 'floodwat':115C 'forgiven':12C 'give':346C 'glad':200C 'go':147C 'god':223C,256C,312C,315C,359C,370C 'good':381C 'gracious':376C 'great':114C 'groan':45C 'guid':150C 'guilt':26C,77C,97C,242C 'hand':51C 'happi':6C,17C 'heart':216C,254C,368C 'heat':67C 'heavi':53C 'hide':81C,127C 'holi':277C 'hors':160C 'imput':24C 'instruct':138C 'jerusalem':387C 'joy':211C,283C 'kept':37C 'kind':226C 'let':102C 'like':158C 'lip':328C 'long':48C 'lord':23C,91C,198C,203C,325C 'love':191C 'mani':182C 'merci':220C 'mouth':331C 'mule':163C 'must':168C 'near':180C 'night':58C 'o':206C,234C,255C,311C,324C,369C 'offens':10C,73C,233C 'offer':354C,396C,400C,405C 'one':8C,19C 'open':326C 'place':125C 'pleasur':351C,382C 'prais':335C 'pray':106C 'presenc':271C 'psalm':1A,4C,217C 'reach':120C 'rebuild':383C 'rejoic':205C 'remit':16C 'renew':258C 'repent':3A 'restor':279C 'return':304C 'right':393C 'righteous':207C,323C 'rise':116C 'sacrific':342C,356C,394C 'said':83C 'salvat':286C 'save':314C 'shall':118C,303C,319C,332C 'shout':209C 'silent':38C 'sin':14C,88C,100C,248C 'sing':320C 'sinner':302C 'spirit':30C,261C,278C,293C,363C 'stay':179C 'steadfast':190C,260C 'strength':60C 'summer':69C 'surround':132C,192C 'sustain':288C 'take':349C 'teach':141C,297C 'temper':167C 'therefor':101C 'time':110C 'tongu':318C 'took':94C 'torment':185C 'transgressor':298C 'troubl':112C,130C 'trust':195C 'understand':165C 'upon':54C 'upright':214C 'wall':385C 'wash':235C 'wast':41C 'way':144C,300C 'whole':398C 'whose':9C,13C,29C,166C 'wick':188C 'will':292C 'within':262C 'without':164C 'would':345C 'zion':378C8b:Tabf,Psalm 62

In God alone is my soul at rest;
my help comes from him.
He alone is my rock, my stronghold,
my fortress: I stand firm.

How long will you all attack one man
to break him down,
as though he were a tottering wall,
or a tumbling fence?

Their plan is only to destroy;
they take pleasure in lies.
With their mouth they utter blessing,
but in their heart they curse.

In God alone be at rest, my soul;
for my hope is from him.
He alone is my rock, my stronghold,
my fortress: I shall not be shaken.

In God is my safety and glory,
the rock of my strength.
Take refuge in God, all you people.
Trust him at all times.

Pour out your hearts before him,
for God is our refuge.

Only a breath are mortal men,
an illusion the sons of men.
Placed in the scales, they rise;
they weigh less than a breath.

Do not put your trust in oppression,
nor vain hopes on plunder.
Do not set your heart on riches,
even when they increase.

For God has said only one thing:
only two do I know:
that to God alone belongs power,
and to you, Lord, love;
and that you repay each man
according to his deeds.

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
and abides in the shade of the Almighty
says to the Lord: “My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust.”

It is he who will free you from the snare
of the fowler who seeks to destroy you;
he will conceal you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge.

You will not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the plague that prowls in the darkness,
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand fall at your right:
you it will never approach;
his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

Your eyes have only to look
to see how the wicked are repaid.
You who have said: “Lord, my refuge!”
and have made the Most High your dwelling,

Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach your tent.
For you has he commanded his angels
to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

Since he clings to me in love, I will free him;
protect him for he knows my name.
When he calls I shall answer: “I am with you.”
I will save him in distress and give him glory.

With length of life I will content him;
I shall let him see my saving power.8c:T880,'62':7C '91':223C 'abid':235C 'accord':218C 'almighti':241C 'alon':10C,22C,81C,94C,204C 'angel':390C 'answer':453C 'approach':338C,381C 'arrow':300C 'attack':38C 'bear':400C 'belong':205C 'bless':72C 'break':42C 'breath':144C,165C 'buckler':342C 'call':450C 'cling':432C 'come':18C 'command':388C 'conceal':276C 'content':474C 'curs':78C 'dark':312C 'day':304C 'deed':221C 'destroy':61C,272C 'distress':463C 'dragon':429C 'dwell':226C,372C 'even':185C 'evil':376C 'eye':346C 'faith':340C 'fall':324C,330C,378C 'fear':292C 'fenc':55C 'find':287C 'firm':32C 'fli':302C 'foot':409C 'fortress':29C,101C 'fowler':268C 'free':261C,439C 'give':465C 'glori':113C,467C 'god':5A,9C,80C,108C,122C,138C,190C,203C,251C 'hand':404C 'heart':76C,134C,182C 'help':17C 'high':233C,370C 'hope':89C,175C 'illus':149C 'increas':188C 'keep':392C 'know':200C,445C 'lay':317C 'length':469C 'less':162C 'lest':405C 'let':478C 'lie':66C 'life':471C 'lion':415C,426C 'long':34C 'look':350C 'lord':210C,245C,362C 'love':211C,436C 'made':367C 'man':40C,217C 'may':323C 'men':147C,153C 'mortal':146C 'mouth':69C 'name':447C 'never':337C 'night':297C 'noon':320C 'one':39C,194C 'oppress':172C 'peopl':125C 'pinion':280C 'place':154C 'plagu':307C,380C 'plan':57C 'pleasur':64C 'plunder':177C 'pour':131C 'power':206C,483C 'protect':441C 'prowl':309C 'psalm':1A,6C,222C 'put':168C 'refug':120C,141C,247C,288C,364C 'repaid':357C 'repay':215C 'rest':15C,84C 'rich':184C 'right':333C 'rise':159C 'rock':25C,97C,115C 'safeti':111C 'said':192C,361C 'save':460C,482C 'say':242C 'scale':157C 'scourg':315C 'see':352C,480C 'seek':270C 'set':180C 'shade':238C 'shaken':106C 'shall':103C,377C,399C,452C,477C 'shelter':229C 'shield':344C 'side':327C 'sinc':430C 'snare':265C 'son':151C 'soul':13C,86C 'stand':31C 'stone':412C 'strength':118C 'strike':407C 'stronghold':27C,99C,249C 'take':63C,119C 'ten':328C 'tent':383C 'terror':294C 'thing':195C 'though':46C 'thousand':322C,329C 'time':130C 'totter':50C 'trampl':423C 'tread':421C 'trust':3A,126C,170C,255C 'tumbl':54C 'two':197C 'upon':373C,402C 'utter':71C 'vain':174C 'viper':418C 'wall':51C 'wast':318C 'way':397C 'weigh':161C 'wick':355C 'wing':284C 'young':425C8d:T781,Psalm 18

I love you, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
so shall I be saved from my enemies.

The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of the netherworld entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.

The earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations of the hills trembled and quaked;
they reeled because he was angry.

Smoke rose from his nostrils,
and consuming fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.

He bowed the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.

He rode on a cherub and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his covering, his canopy round about him;
dark waters and thick clouds were his pavilion.

Out of the brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through.

The Lord thundered from heaven,
the Most High uttered his voice.

He sent out arrows and scattered them;
lightning, and routed them.

Then the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at the rebuke of the Lord,
at the blast of the breath of his anger.

He reached down from on high and grasped me;
he drew me out of mighty waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.

They confronted me on the day of my calamity,

Baptism
Baptism is the first of the seven sacraments and the gateway to the Christian life (CCC 1213–1274). Through Baptism, we are freed from original sin, reborn as children of God, and incorporated into the Body of Christ, the Church. It imprints an indelible spiritual mark on the soul and can only be received once. Baptism is ordinarily administered with water and the Trinitarian formula: “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” It is necessary for salvation and opens the door to the other sacraments. Through this sacrament, we become adopted sons and daughters of God, share in the life of grace, and begin our journey of faith.

2. Confirmation
Confirmation strengthens the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit (CCC 1285–1321). It roots us more deeply in divine sonship, unites us more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and strengthens our bond with the Church. It empowers us to witness boldly to the faith and to defend it when necessary. Like Baptism, Confirmation imprints a permanent spiritual mark and is received only once. The ordinary minister is a bishop, who anoints the forehead with sacred chrism and lays hands on the candidate while invoking the Holy Spirit. This sacrament equips Catholics to live mature, mission-driven Christian lives.

3. Eucharist
The Eucharist is the “source and summit” of the Christian life (CCC 1322–1419). In this sacrament, Jesus Christ is truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine. At every Mass, we participate in the one eternal sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, made present sacramentally. In Holy Communion, we are united intimately with Christ and nourished spiritually. Frequent reception of the Eucharist deepens our love for God and strengthens us against sin. The Church calls all Catholics to receive the Eucharist at least once a year, during the Easter season, but encourages regular and worthy participation. Proper preparation, including being in a state of grace, is essential to receive the Eucharist fruitfully.

4. Penance (Reconciliation or Confession)
The Sacrament of Penance restores us to grace when we have sinned after Baptism (CCC 1422–1498). In this sacrament, we confess our sins to a priest, express true sorrow (contrition), resolve to sin no more, and receive absolution through the priest, who acts in the person of Christ. The priest grants pardon and peace in the name of Christ and the Church. Confession reconciles us with God and the Church, restores sanctifying grace, and strengthens us against future temptations. Catholics are encouraged to go to Confession regularly, especially when in a state of mortal sin. This sacrament is a powerful gift of God’s mercy and a path to interior healing and renewal.

5. Anointing of the Sick
This sacrament offers spiritual strength, peace, and healing to those who are seriously ill, elderly, or facing major surgery (CCC 1499–1532). It unites the sufferer more closely to the Passion of Christ and provides grace for endurance and possible physical healing, if God wills. It also forgives sins if the person cannot confess. Administered by a priest, the sacrament involves the anointing with oil and a prayer of faith. It is not only for the dying—though when given at the point of death, along with Confession and the Eucharist as Viaticum, it prepares the soul for eternal life. Christ the Divine Physician meets us in our frailty and draws us closer to Himself in this sacrament.

6. Holy Orders
Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission Christ entrusted to the apostles continues in the Church (CCC 1536–1600). It includes three degrees: bishop, priest, and deacon. Through the laying on of hands and the prayer of consecration, a man is configured to Christ in a permanent way. Bishops receive the fullness of the sacrament and are successors to the apostles. Priests assist bishops in preaching the Gospel and administering the sacraments. Deacons serve in ministries of charity, Word, and liturgy. Only baptized men can validly receive Holy Orders, and it requires deep discernment and formation. This sacrament is essential for the governance and sacramental life of the Church.

7. Matrimony
The Sacrament of Matrimony is a covenant by which a baptized man and woman establish a lifelong partnership ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children (CCC 1601–1666). Christ elevated natural marriage to a sacrament, giving it a new dignity and grace. The spouses are the ministers of the sacrament; the priest or deacon is the Church’s witness. Marriage mirrors Christ’s love for the Church—faithful, fruitful, and indissoluble. This sacrament provides grace to help spouses love sacrificially, raise their children in the faith, and grow in holiness together. A valid Catholic marriage is a sign of God’s covenant love made visible in the world.90:T11ad,'1':2C '1213':20C '1274':21C '1285':140C '1321':141C '1322':248C '1419':249C '1422':375C '1498':376C '1499':499C '1532':500C '1536':619C '1600':620C '1601':746C '1666':747C '2':123C '3':234C '4':355C '5':474C '6':597C '7':711C 'absolut':398C 'act':403C 'administ':62C,533C,671C 'adopt':105C 'along':564C 'also':525C 'anoint':205C,475C,541C 'apostl':613C,662C 'appear':265C 'assist':664C 'baptism':3C,4C,23C,59C,130C,186C,373C 'baptiz':70C,684C,723C 'becom':104C 'begin':118C 'bishop':203C,625C,650C,665C 'blood':259C 'bodi':39C,258C 'bold':175C 'bond':166C 'bread':267C 'call':317C 'candid':216C 'cannot':531C 'cathol':225C,319C,440C,813C 'ccc':19C,139C,247C,374C,498C,618C,745C 'chariti':679C 'children':32C,744C,802C 'chrism':210C 'christ':41C,155C,254C,281C,296C,408C,419C,511C,579C,609C,645C,748C,781C 'christian':17C,232C,245C 'church':43C,169C,316C,422C,430C,617C,710C,776C,786C 'close':506C 'closer':591C 'communion':290C 'confess':359C,381C,423C,446C,532C,566C 'configur':643C 'confirm':124C,125C,187C 'consecr':639C 'continu':614C 'contrit':390C 'coven':719C,821C 'cross':284C 'daughter':108C 'deacon':628C,674C,773C 'death':563C 'deep':694C 'deepen':305C 'deepli':146C 'defend':181C 'degre':624C 'die':555C 'digniti':759C 'discern':695C 'divin':148C,262C,581C 'door':95C 'draw':589C 'driven':231C 'easter':331C 'educ':742C 'elder':493C 'elev':749C 'empow':171C 'encourag':334C,442C 'endur':516C 'entrust':610C 'equip':224C 'especi':448C 'essenti':349C,701C 'establish':727C 'etern':278C,577C 'eucharist':235C,237C,304C,323C,353C,569C 'everi':271C 'express':387C 'face':495C 'faith':122C,178C,548C,787C,805C 'father':77C 'firm':153C 'first':7C 'forehead':207C 'forgiv':526C 'format':697C 'formula':68C 'frailti':587C 'freed':26C 'frequent':300C 'fruit':354C,788C 'full':653C 'futur':438C 'gateway':14C 'gift':158C,461C 'give':755C 'given':558C 'go':444C 'god':34C,110C,309C,427C,463C,522C,819C 'good':734C 'gospel':669C 'govern':704C 'grace':116C,128C,347C,367C,433C,514C,761C,794C 'grant':411C 'grow':807C 'hand':213C,634C 'heal':471C,486C,520C 'help':796C 'holi':85C,137C,161C,220C,289C,598C,600C,689C,809C 'ill':492C 'imprint':45C,188C 'includ':341C,622C 'incorpor':36C 'increas':156C 'indel':47C 'indissolubl':790C 'interior':470C 'intim':294C 'invok':218C 'involv':539C 'jesus':253C 'journey':120C 'lay':212C,631C 'least':325C 'life':18C,114C,246C,578C,707C 'lifelong':729C 'like':185C 'liturgi':682C 'live':227C,233C 'love':307C,783C,798C,822C 'made':285C,823C 'major':496C 'man':641C,724C 'mark':49C,192C 'marriag':751C,779C,814C 'mass':272C 'matrimoni':712C,716C 'matur':228C 'meet':583C 'men':685C 'merci':465C 'minist':200C,766C 'ministri':677C 'mirror':780C 'mission':230C,608C 'mission-driven':229C 'mortal':454C 'name':74C,417C 'natur':750C 'necessari':89C,184C 'new':758C 'nourish':298C 'offer':481C 'oil':543C 'one':277C 'open':93C 'order':599C,601C,690C,731C 'ordinari':199C 'ordinarili':61C 'origin':28C 'outpour':134C 'pardon':412C 'particip':274C,338C 'partnership':730C 'passion':509C 'path':468C 'peac':414C,484C 'penanc':356C,363C 'perman':190C,648C 'person':406C,530C 'physic':519C 'physician':582C 'point':561C 'possibl':518C 'power':460C 'prayer':546C,637C 'preach':667C 'prepar':340C,573C 'present':257C,286C 'priest':386C,401C,410C,536C,626C,663C,771C 'procreat':740C 'proper':339C 'provid':513C,793C 'rais':800C 'reborn':30C 'receiv':57C,195C,321C,351C,397C,651C,688C 'recept':301C 'reconcil':424C 'reconcili':357C 'regular':335C,447C 'renew':473C 'requir':693C 'resolv':391C 'restor':364C,431C 'root':143C 'sacr':209C 'sacrament':1A,11C,99C,102C,223C,252C,287C,361C,379C,457C,480C,538C,596C,604C,656C,673C,699C,706C,714C,754C,769C,792C 'sacrific':279C 'sacrifici':799C 'salvat':91C 'sanctifi':432C 'season':332C 'serious':491C 'serv':675C 'seven':10C 'share':111C 'sick':478C 'sign':817C 'sin':29C,314C,371C,383C,393C,455C,527C 'son':81C,106C 'sonship':149C 'sorrow':389C 'soul':52C,260C,575C 'sourc':240C 'special':133C 'spirit':86C,138C,162C,221C 'spiritu':48C,191C,299C,482C 'spous':737C,763C,797C 'state':345C,452C 'strength':483C 'strengthen':126C,164C,311C,435C 'successor':659C 'suffer':504C 'summit':242C 'surgeri':497C 'temptat':439C 'though':556C 'three':623C 'togeth':810C 'toward':732C 'trinitarian':67C 'true':388C 'truli':256C 'unit':150C,293C,502C 'us':144C,151C,172C,312C,365C,425C,436C,584C,590C 'valid':687C,812C 'viaticum':571C 'visibl':824C 'water':64C 'way':649C 'will':523C 'wine':269C 'wit':174C,778C 'woman':726C 'word':680C 'world':827C 'worthi':337C 'year':328C91:Td3b,The love of God is the flower - Mercy the fruit.

Introductory Prayer
My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor Your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, and share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg You to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise you.

The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you:
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
The eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free
You did not spurn the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death,
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come, and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Bought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints
To glory everlasting.
Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance.
Govern and uphold them now and always.
Day by day we bless you.

I am the Lord your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.
This commandment affirms the absolute primacy of God in our lives. It calls us to worship and serve the one true God and reject all forms of idolatry—whether false religions, superstition, or elevating anything (such as money, fame, or personal desires) above God (CCC 2084–2132). Faith, hope, and charity toward God are acts of this commandment, and violations include atheism, agnosticism, and occult practices. True freedom begins by recognizing that our hearts were made for God alone.

2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
God’s name is holy, and to use it with reverence is to acknowledge His glory and majesty (CCC 2142–2167). This commandment forbids the misuse of God’s name through blasphemy, perjury, or careless speech. Swearing falsely by God's name, making promises we don’t intend to keep, or using His name in anger dishonors Him. As baptized Catholics, we are called to speak with integrity and to invoke God’s name in prayer, blessing, and thanksgiving.

3. Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day.
This commandment calls Catholics to sanctify Sunday, the day of Christ’s Resurrection, by participating in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (CCC 2168–2195). It is a day set apart for worship, rest, and joy in the Lord. We are obligated to refrain from unnecessary work that prevents worship and proper rest. By keeping Sunday holy, we renew our covenant with God and nourish our spiritual life. It is a foretaste of the eternal Sabbath rest with God in Heaven.

4. Honor your father and your mother.
This commandment is the foundation for all human relationships and social order (CCC 2197–2257). It commands respect, gratitude, obedience, and care for one’s parents. For children, it means obeying their parents in what is morally good. For adults, it includes honoring, supporting, and caring for parents in their needs. It also extends to legitimate authorities in society, as long as they promote the common good. Respect for family life builds a just and loving society.

5. You shall not kill.
This commandment upholds the sacredness and inviolability of human life (CCC 2258–2330). It forbids intentional homicide, abortion, euthanasia, and any direct attack on innocent life. Life is a gift from God and belongs to Him alone. This commandment also requires that we promote peace, protect the vulnerable, and respect human dignity. Anger, hatred, and vengeance are spiritual violations of this command. Christians are called to be peacemakers and to uphold the dignity of all people from conception to natural death.

6. You shall not commit adultery.
This commandment safeguards the sanctity of marriage and the proper expression of human sexuality (CCC 2331–2400). Adultery betrays the covenant of marriage and wounds the unity of the family. The Church teaches that sexuality is a gift ordered toward love and life within the bond of matrimony. All are called to chastity according to their state in life—married, single, or consecrated. This commandment invites us to purity of heart, respect for others, and the faithful living of our vocation.

7. You shall not steal.
This commandment upholds the right to private property and the moral obligation to use material goods responsibly (CCC 2401–2463). Theft, fraud, unjust wages, and damage to others’ property violate this commandment. It also calls us to practice justice, solidarity, and generosity, especially toward the poor. Ultimately, it teaches that we are stewards, not owners, of God’s gifts, and we must use them in ways that serve the common good and reflect love for neighbor.

8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
This commandment demands truthfulness in all our words and actions (CCC 2464–2513). Lying, gossip, slander, and perjury violate charity and justice. The truth builds trust and fosters healthy relationships and communities. We are called to protect others' reputations, avoid rash judgment, and use discretion in speech. Living in truth reflects our identity as children of God, who is Truth itself. This commandment reminds us that what we say matters and should always serve love and truth.

9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
This commandment addresses the purity of heart and the interior ordering of our desires (CCC 2514–2533). It forbids lustful thoughts and disordered desires for someone else’s spouse. Covetousness distorts love and reduces people to objects for gratification. Jesus taught that even looking with lust is a sin of the heart. Purity, modesty, and self-mastery help us grow in freedom and true love. Chastity is a lifelong virtue that leads to deeper communion with God and others.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
This commandment calls for contentment and gratitude, opposing envy, greed, and unjust desire for others’ possessions (CCC 2534–2557). Covetousness can lead to resentment, theft, and dishonesty. We are invited to trust in God’s providence and seek His kingdom above material wealth. Detachment from worldly goods allows us to live with spiritual freedom and generosity. True happiness is found not in having more, but in loving more and recognizing that all we have is a gift to be shared.98:T142b,'1':3C '10':794C '2':97C '2084':63C '2132':64C '2142':130C '2167':131C

favor on His humble servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm; He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel, for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.

Latin
Magnificat anima mea Dominum, et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo, quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae. Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius. Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles. Esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes. Suscepit Israel puerum suum recordatus misericordiae, sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula.9a:T698,'abraham':134C,222C 'ad':219C 'almighti':38C 'ancilla':155C 'anima':141C 'arm':68C 'away':106C 'beatam':161C 'bless':36C 'boni':205C 'brachio':189C 'call':34C 'cast':79C 'children':137C 'come':110C 'conceit':76C 'cordi':194C 'day':30C 'de':198C 'deo':149C 'deposuit':196C 'dicent':163C 'dimisit':208C 'dispersit':191C 'divit':207C 'dominum':143C 'done':40C 'ecc':157C 'eius':176C,179C,225C 'empti':107C 'enim':158C 'est':172C,218C 'esurient':203C 'et':144C,173C,177C,200C,206C,223C 'eum':185C 'everi':59C 'ex':159C 'exaltavit':201C 'exsultavit':145C 'father':132C 'favor':23C 'fear':56C 'fecit':167C,186C 'fill':94C 'forev':138C 'generat':32C,60C 'generation':165C 'god':15C 'good':98C 'great':7C,41C 'help':113C 'hoc':160C 'holi':46C 'humbl':26C 'humil':202C 'humilitatem':154C 'hungri':96C 'implevit':204C 'inan':209C 'israel':117C,211C 'latin':139C 'lift':88C 'locutus':217C 'look':21C 'lord':10C 'lowli':91C 'made':129C 'magna':169C 'magnificat':2A,140C 'mea':142C 'ment':193C 'meo':151C 'merci':52C,125C 'meus':147C 'mighti':82C 'mihi':168C 'misericordia':178C,215C 'name':49C 'nomen':175C 'nostro':221C 'omn':164C 'patr':220C 'poten':171C 'potent':197C 'potentiam':187C 'proclaim':5C 'progeni':181C,183C 'promis':123C,127C 'proud':73C 'puerum':212C 'qui':170C 'quia':152C,166C 'recordatus':214C 'rejoic':13C 'rememb':121C 'respexit':153C 'rich':102C 'saecula':227C 'salutari':150C 'sanctum':174C 'savior':17C 'scatter':71C 'sede':199C 'semini':224C 'sent':105C 'servant':27C,116C 'shown':63C 'sicut':216C 'soul':4C 'spirit':12C 'spiritus':146C 'strength':65C 'suae':156C 'sui':195C 'suo':190C 'superbo':192C 'suscepit':210C 'suum':213C 'thing':42C,99C 'throne':85C 'timentibus':184C9b:T439,Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,

to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O comforter, to Thee we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.

Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;
Thou, finger of God's hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.

Kindle our sense from above,
and make our hearts o'erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread,
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside.

Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest.

Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven.

Let Your radiance in us shine,
And our inmost being fill.

Nothing good by man is thought,
Nothing right by him is wrought,
When he spurns Your gracious Will.

Cleanse our souls from sinful stain,
Lave our dryness with Your rain
Heal our wounds and mend our way.

Bend the stubborn heart and will,
Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful who in You,
Trust with childlike piety,
Deign your sevenfold gift to send.

Give them virtue’s rich increase,
Saving grace to die in peace,
Give them joys that never end.

Nephew of Sixtus IV. Member of the Franciscan Order. Nicknamed the "Warrior Pope" or the "Fearsome Pope". Became pope in the context of the Italian Wars, a period in which the major powers of Europe fought for primacy in the Italian peninsula. Took control of all the Papal States for the first time. Established the Vatican Museums and initiated the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica. The same year, he organized the famous Swiss Guard for his personal protection and commanded a successful campaign in Romagna against the local lords. The interests of Julius II also lay in the New World, as he ratified the Treaty of Tordesillas (1506), establishing the first bishoprics in the Americas and starting the catholicization of Latin America. Commissioned the four Raphael Rooms and Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel (1508). Convened the Fifth Council of the Lateran (1512). Julius II was described by Machiavelli in his works as the ideal prince. Julius II allowed people seeking indulgences to donate money to the Church, which would be used for the construction of St. Peter's Basilica. 1:[null,["$","$L7",null,{"path":["prayers","order-of-the-mass"],"catalog":{"categories":[{"id":"9079dad1-732a-564e-852b-5ead69e2e4ec","slug":"basic-prayers","name":"Basic Prayers","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/basicprayers.png","sort_order":0,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":18},{"id":"1ed8a0e5-8573-51a2-a490-6780d03e76ec","slug":"prayers-to-god","name":"Prayers To God","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/prayerstogod.png","sort_order":1,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":46},{"id":"031b3c4a-3c23-5519-b63e-9d4ca97e508d","slug":"prayers-to-mary","name":"Prayers To Mary","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/prayerstomary.png","sort_order":2,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":18},{"id":"ec6e97b1-7d7b-5c07-9954-5ccf73c7cba1","slug":"holy-rosary","name":"Holy Rosary","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/holyrosary.png","sort_order":3,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":0},{"id":"4609ee07-5341-5602-94ad-dc0c084bd6ce","slug":"divine-mercy","name":"Divine Mercy","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/divinemercy.png","sort_order":4,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":0},{"id":"25db010f-769f-597b-ab2f-a86ab1d603e7","slug":"liturgy-of-the-hours","name":"Liturgy Of The Hours","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/liturgyofthehours.png","sort_order":5,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":0},{"id":"a2e39e30-055a-572b-8b83-8a06913f826b","slug":"way-of-the-cross","name":"Way of The Cross","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/wayofthecross.png","sort_order":6,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":0},{"id":"dab2fe77-ff0e-5ef3-8ad2-bc7ee56a2743","slug":"litanies","name":"Litanies","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/litanies.png","sort_order":7,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":13},{"id":"0f3dfbb9-d88b-577a-8146-419a6820ef68","slug":"prayers-of-the-saints","name":"Prayers of The Saints","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/prayersofthesaints.png","sort_order":8,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":49},{"id":"bb5e71a5-4587-51f8-99ee-cef538275b17","slug":"healing-protection-and-deliverance","name":"Healing, Protection and Deliverance","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/healingprotectionanddeliverance.png","sort_order":9,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":19},{"id":"240cffe2-6ff1-5976-999a-e2bab72d247f","slug":"family-prayers","name":"Family Prayers","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/familyprayers.png","sort_order":10,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":11},{"id":"eeb14fea-daac-59c7-bc0d-aff6cca1223c","slug":"order-of-the-mass","name":"Order of The Mass","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/orderofthemass.png","sort_order":11,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":0},{"id":"6215fa60-2afc-571c-b80d-7149cd5b89ac","slug":"occasional-prayers","name":"Occasional Prayers","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/occasionalprayers.png","sort_order":12,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":26},{"id":"e5eb7422-a3f9-5a40-b7cc-e09f6b1bf9f7","slug":"famous-psalms","name":"Famous Psalms","description":null,"icon_path":"assets/categoryIcons/famouspsalms.png","sort_order":13,"is_active":true,"created_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","updated_at":"2026-08-13T22:26:17.814866+00:00","count":24}],"prayers":[{"id":"209579b7-376a-5192-8d92-a825d4ec4c0b","slug":"family-prayers-a-family-prayer-209579b7","title":"A Family Prayer","subtitle":null,"content_format":"html","content_html":"Heavenly Father, You sent Your own Son Jesus to become part of an Earthly family with Mary and Joseph.

Almighty, true and incomparable God, You are present in all things, yet in no way limited by them. You remain unaffected by place, untouched by time, unperturbed by years, and undeceived by words. You are not subject to birth and in no need of protection. You are beyond all corruption, above all change, immutable by nature. You live in unapproachable light and are invisible, yet you are known to all those who seek You with hope and love. You are the God of Israel, and of all who hope in Christ. Amen.

O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man, and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.

O my God, trusting in your promises and because you are faithful, powerful and merciful, I hope, through the merits of Jesus Christ, for the pardon of my sins, final perseverance and the blessed glory of heaven.

O my God, I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because you are all good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you. I forgive all who have injured me and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You are really here in this Sacrament. Night and day You remain here compassionate and loving. You call, You wait for, You welcome everyone who comes to visit You. I thank You, Jesus my Divine Redeemer for coming upon the earth for our sake and for instituting the Adorable Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in order to remain with us until the end of the world. I thank You for hiding beneath the Eucharistic species Your infinite majesty and beauty, which Your Angels delight to behold, so that I might have courage to approach the throne of Your mercy. I thank You dear Jesus, for having become the priceless Victim, to merit for me the fullness of heavenly favors. Awaken in me such confidence in You that their fullness may descend ever more fruitfully upon my soul. I thank You for offering Yourself in thanksgiving to God for all His benefits, spiritual and temporal which He has bestowed on me. Grant me grace and perseverance in your faithful service. Amen.

I praise you, Father all-powerful. I praise you, Divine Son, our lord and Savior. I praise you, Spirit of Love and Consolation.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

In order that I may be a living act of perfect love, I offer myself as a whole burnt offering to Thy tender love, beseeching Thee to consume me continually, letting my soul overflow with the floods of infinite tenderness that are found in Thee, that so I may become a martyr of Thy love, O God! Let this martyrdom make me ready to appear before Thee and at last cause me to expire; let my soul cast itself without delay into the everlasting arms of Thy merciful love. With every beat of my heart I desire, O my dearly Beloved, to renew this offering an infinite number of times, until that day when the shadows shall vanish and I shall be able to retell my love in eternal union with Thee! Amen.

God of healing mercy, in Jesus your Son you stretch out your hand in compassion, restoring the sinner, healing the sick, and lifting up those bowed down. Embrace us now in your loving care, particularly those afflicted with cancer, for whom this intention is offered. May the Spirit of Jesus bring us all health in soul and body, that with joy and thanksgiving we may praise you for your goodness, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands. I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want. But I admit that it's hard, Lord. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don't have the strength on my own to get through this. I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone. Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. I don't have to worry about tomorrow. If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need. Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in you. Thank you for hearing my prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Most Holy Trinity, Godhead indivisible, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, our first beginning and our last end, since Thou hast made us after Thine own image and likeness, grant that all the thoughts of our minds, all the words of our tongues, all the affections of our hearts and all our actions may be always conformed to Thy most holy will, to the end that after having seen Thee here below in appearances and in a dark manner by means of faith, we may come at last to contemplate Thee face-to-face in the perfect possession of Thee for ever in paradise.

We promise you to work to our utmost for peace and reconciliation in the region. But we know we cannot do it alone. We very much need the strength of your presence in our midst if we are to overcome the obstacles before us. So our prayer at this moment is that you add your support to our efforts, that you show yourself as a tower of strength in those moments when the barriers seem impassable. Together we can become beacons of hope for just and peaceful societies in the land so very dear to the peoples of your covenant. Amen.

O my Lord and Savior, support me in my last hour by the strong arms of Thy sacraments and the fragrance of thy consolations. Let Thy absolving words be said over me, and the holy oil sign and seal me; and let Thine own body be my food and Thy blood my sprinkling; and let Thy Mother Mary come to me, and my angel whisper peace to me, and Thy glorious saints and my own dear patrons smile on me, that in and through them all I may die as I desire to live, in Thy Church, in Thy faith, and in Thy love. Amen.

Lord, I know you are with me and love me. Give me peace of mind as I prepare for this time of study. Help me to focus on my books and notes, keep me from all distractions so that I will make the best use of this time that is available to me. Give me insight that I might understand what I am studying, and help me to remember it when the time comes. Above all, I thank you for the ability to be able to study and for the many gifts and talents you have given me. Help me always to use them in such a way that they honor you and do justice to myself.

Dear Lord, I ask for Your divine protection as I prepare for this trip. Keep me safe from any harm or danger, and let Your angels watch over me throughout my journey. Help me to remain alert and aware of my surroundings, and grant me peace of mind as I travel. May this trip bring me closer to my loved ones and allow me to experience the beauty of Your creation. Thank You for Your constant presence in my life, guiding me safely to my destination and back home again. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of Your 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, for those in my own home, and within my family. Amen.

Lord, as I prepare to embark on this journey, I ask for Your guidance and protection. Keep me safe from any harm or danger, and surround me with Your angels as I travel. May my journey be filled with joy and discovery, and may I return home safely, enriched by the experiences I encounter. Help me to appreciate the beauty of Your creation along the way, and let my travels be a reflection of Your love and grace. I trust in Your presence to guide me every step of the way. Amen.

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; 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. Amen.

We adore You, O Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all Your churches throughout the world, and we bless You because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Amen.

Almighty and ever loving Father, I place this day into your loving hands for all that I have been blessed with. I am thankful for all that I have received both good and bad alike.

Thank you for looking upon thy servant in times of need and help me never forget thy abundant blessings.

Continue to shower your blessings over me and grant me the gift of endurance so that I may be able to endure this earthly journey according to thy will. Amen.

Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find [name the item] which has been lost. At least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. To this favor, I ask another of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.

Almighty God, my Eternal Father, from the fullness of my soul I adore You. I am deeply grateful that You have made me in Your image and likeness, and that You ever hold me in Your loving embrace. Direct me to love You with all my heart, with all my soul, and with my whole mind. Direct me to love all Your children as I love myself. O, my Father, my soul longs to be united to You, and to rest in You forever. Have the Holy Spirit touch my soul so that I may love You as He does, and as Your Beloved Son Jesus does. Amen.

O Divine Spirit, Who have so often enlightened my soul with the light of Your beams, I thank You with all my heart. O Divine Spirit, who have sent me so many holy inspirations and good desires, I thank You with all my heart. O Divine Spirit, who sustain my weakness by Your sovereign virtue, I thank You with all my heart. For the acts of virtue that You have made me accomplish and that are due to Your salutary assistance, I thank You with all my heart. For the little good that I have been able to do by Your help, I thank You with all my heart. Amen

O my glorious and well-beloved patron, Saint Alphonsus, thou who didst toil and suffer so abundantly to assure to men the fruits of the Redemption, behold the miseries of my poor soul and have pity on me. By thy powerful intercession with Jesus and Mary, obtain for me true repentance for my sins together with their pardon and remission, a deep hatred of sin, and strength evermore to resist all temptations. Share with me, I pray, at least a spark of that fire of love wherewith thy heart did ever burn; and grant that, following thy example, I may make the will of God the only rule of my life. Obtain for me likewise a fervent and lasting love of Jesus, and a tender and childlike devotion to Mary, together with the grace to pray without ceasing and to persevere in the service of God even to the end of my life, that so I may finally be united with thee in praising God and most holy Mary through all eternity. Amen.

O holy Saint Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me [mention your request]. The answer to my prayer may require a miracle; even so, you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.

O glorious Saint Benedict, sublime model of all virtues, pure vessel of God’s grace! Behold me, humbly kneeling at thy feet. I implore thy loving heart to pray for me before the throne of God. To thee I have recourse in all the dangers which daily surround me. Shield me against my enemies, inspire me to imitate thee in all things. May thy blessing be with me always, so that I may shun whatever God forbids and avoid the occasions of sin. Amen.

O glorious Saint Blaise, who by your martyrdom left to the Church a precious witness to the Faith, obtain for us the grace to preserve within ourselves this divine gift, and to defend — without concern for human respect — both by word and example, the truth of that same Faith, which is so wickedly attacked and slandered in these our times. You miraculously restored a little child who was at the point of death because of an affliction of the throat. Grant us your mighty protection in similar misfortunes. Above all, obtain for us the grace of Christian mortification, together with faithful observance of the precepts of the Church, which keep us from offending Almighty God. Amen.

Dear Saint Christopher, protect me today in all my travels along the road’s way. Give your warning sign if danger is near so that I may stop while the path is clear. Protect me from harm, and keep me safe from all evil. Help me to arrive safely at my destination, and may my journey be filled with joy and peace. Saint Christopher, pray for me! Amen.

Saint Elizabeth, you dedicated yourself to your loving and crucified Lord from an early age, rejecting the vanities of this world. Despite many temptations and hardships, you remained true to your King. Please pray that I will reject all that is vain and choose my Lord and His will above all else. Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.

Saint Francis de Sales, you showed us that holiness is possible in every state of life. Pray for me that I may live a devout life, filled with love for God and service to others, even in the midst of worldly duties. Help me to cultivate virtues like humility, gentleness, and simplicity, and to seek God’s will in all things. Amen.

O God, who through the preaching and miracles of Saint Francis Xavier brought many peoples to the knowledge of You, grant that we may imitate his zeal for the faith and his love for souls. Through his intercession, may we be filled with the same missionary spirit to spread Your Gospel and bring others closer to You. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, cast your solemn gaze upon the devil and all his minions, and protect us with your mighty staff. You fled through the night to avoid the devil’s wicked designs; now with the power of God, smite the demons as they flee from you. Grant special protection, we pray, for children, fathers, families, and the dying. By God’s grace, no demon dare approach while you are near. So we beg of you, always be near us. Amen.

Almighty Father, Your Son taught us that those who work for peace will be called Your children. In these troubled times, we earnestly ask that Your Holy Spirit strengthen the people of Ukraine with courage and a deep commitment to justice and harmony. Bless their leaders with wisdom and careful judgment, and grant them the resilience to protect their homeland from harm and invasion. Guide us all to walk in accordance with Your divine plan. Loving God, in the days ahead, we humbly ask You to bring comfort to those who suffer, healing to the injured, and eternal rest to the souls of the departed. May the Blessed Mother, protector of Your people, place her holy veil over Ukraine and keep it safe beneath her care. Amen.

O Lord, my heart is not proud,
nor are my eyes haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters,
or with things too wonderful for me.

Hear my voice when I cry to you.
Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,
the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
keep watch over the door of my lips.

Let me not be occupied in gainful pursuits;
let the righteous strike me in kindness and rebuke me.
But let not the oil of the wicked anoint my head,
for my prayer is ever against their evil deeds.

When their judges are thrown down from the rock,
they will hear my words, for they are pleasant.
Like when one plows and breaks the earth,
so shall my prayer break forth before you.

to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity;

Oh Adorable Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, You have suffered death at the cross for our sins. Oh, Holy Cross of Jesus! be my true light. Oh, Holy Cross! fill my soul with good thoughts. Oh, Holy Cross! ward off from me all things that are evil. Oh, Holy Cross! ward off from me all dangers and deaths and give me life everlasting! Oh, Crucified Jesus of Nazareth! have mercy on me now and forever. In honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus and His Death, Resurrection and Ascension which lead to everlasting life. As true as Jesus was born on Christmas Day and crucified on Good Friday. As true as Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the cross and buried him. As true as Jesus ascended into Heaven, may He preserve me from my enemies both visible and invisible forever and ever. Oh, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me! Mary and Joseph pray for me. Lord Jesus Christ through your suffering the cross grant me strength to bear the Cross without fear or dread and give me the grace that I may follow You. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked with favor on His humble servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm; He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel, for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.

He refused to compromise with Lutheranism theologically, demanding Martin Luther's condemnation as a heretic.
