Daily Prayers of the
people of the
Reformed Catholic Church
The Sign of the Cross
In
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O
my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins,
known and unknown, not only because I dread the loss of heaven and dread the
pains of hell, and not only because Thou art my Creator, my Redeemer and my
Sanctifier, but most of all because my sins have offended Thee, my God, Who art
all good in Thyself and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the
help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.
Amen.
Apostle's Creed
I
believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended
into heaven, sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He
shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the
Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail
Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Act of Faith
O
my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine Persons, Father,
Son and Holy Ghost; 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.
Act of Love
O
my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou
art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love
of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have
injured.
Act of Hope
O
my God, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to
obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through
the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Angelus
V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
Hail Mary...
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done to me according to thy word.
Hail Mary...
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

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.
Prayer to St. Joseph
Oh,
St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne
of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist
me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all
spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged
here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the
most Loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and
Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your
heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return
the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departed souls,
pray for me.
Prayer for Peace
Lord,
make me an instrument of Thy 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.
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, it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi
Anima Christi
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 Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me to come to Thee.
That with Thy Saints I may praise Thee
Forever and ever. Amen.
Confiteor
I
confess to Almighty God, and to you by brothers and sisters, that I have sinned
through my own fault. In my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and
what I have failed to do. I ask the Blessed Mary, Ever Virgin, and all the
angels and saints, and you my brothers and sister to pray for me to the Lord our
God. . Amen.
Glory Be
Glory
be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Lord's Prayer
Our
Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Memorare
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left
unaided. Inspired with 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.
Morning Offering
O
my Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee all my prayers,
works, joys, and sufferings of this day for Thy greater honor and glory, the
salvation of my soul, for the intentions of our Holy Father, and for the poor
souls in Purgatory.
Eternal rest
grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest
in peace! Amen.
Daily Offering
God
the Father, I thank Thee for creating me. God the Son, I thank Thee for
redeeming me. God the Holy Ghost, I thank Thee for sanctifying me; infuse into
my thoughts, words and actions Thy grace, so that they may be supernaturally
pleasing to Thee and supernaturally rewarding to me, forever.
O Blessed
Trinity, abundantly assist me in becoming that which Thou intended me to become
when Thou created me, for in that perfection I will give Thee the glory Thou
desirest of me, and in that perfection I will find my greatest joy in heaven.
Amen.
Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, O.F.M. Cap.

of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here;

eternal life. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

A Poor Clare, who just died, appeared to her Abbess who was praying
for her, and said to her: "I went straight to heaven, for, by means of this
prayer, recited every evening, I paid all my debts."
