Prayers for Before Communion
Prayer of St. Ambrose
O loving Lord Jesus Christ, I, a sinner,
not presuming on my own merits, but
trusting in Thy mercy and goodness,
with fear and awe approach the table of
Thy most sacred banquet. For I have
stained both my heart and body with
many sins, and have not kept a strict
guard over my mind and tongue.
Wherefore, O gracious God, O awful
majesty, I, a wretched creature,
entangled in difficulties, have recourse
to Thee, the fount of mercy; to Thee I
fly for healing and take refuge under
Thy protection, and I ardently desire to
have Him as my Saviour whom I am
unable to face as my judge. To Thee,
Lord, I show my wounds, to Thee I lay
bare my shame. I know that my sins are
many and great and on their account I
am filled with fear. But I trust that Thy
mercy, which is endless. Look down on
me, therefore, with the eyes of Mercy,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternal King, God
and Man, crucified for men. Hear me,
for my hope is in Thee; have mercy on
me, for I am full of sin and
wretchedness, Thou who never cease to
let flow the fountain of mercy. Hail,
Victim of salvation, offered for me and
for all mankind on the tree of the cross.
Hail, noble and precious Blood,
flowing from the wounds of my
crucified Lord Jesus Christ and
washing away the sins of the whole
world. Remember, Lord, Thy creature,
who, Thou hast redeemed with Thy
Blood. I am grieved because I have
sinned, I desire to make amends for
what I have done. Take away from me,
therefore, O most merciful Father, all
iniquities and sins, that, being purified
both in soul and body, I may worthily
Page 12 of 20
partake of the Holy of Holies; and
grant that this holy oblation of Thy
Body and Blood, of which though
unworthy I partake may be to me the
remission of my sins, the perfect
cleansing of my offences the means of
driving away all evil thoughts and of
renewing all holy desires, the
accomplishment of works pleasing to
Thee, as well as a strong defense of
soul and body against the snares of my
enemies. Amen.
Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas
Almighty and eternal God, behold, I
approach the Sacrament of Thy only-
begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I
approach as one who is sick to the
Physician of life, as one unclean to the
fountain of mercy, as one blind to the
light of eternal brightness, as one poor
and needy to the Lord of heaven and
earth. Therefore, I pray Thee, O
Infinite Goodness, to heal my sickness,
to wash away my filth, to enlighten my
blindness, to enrich my poverty, and to
clothe my nakedness, that I may
receive the Bread of angels, the King
of kings and the Lord of lords with
such reverence and humility, with such
contrition and devotion, with such
purity and faith, with such purpose and
intention, as may conduce to the
salvation of my soul. Grant, I pray
Thee, that I may receive not only the
Sacrament of the Body and Blood of
Our Lord; but also the fruit and virtue
of this Sacrament. O most indulgent
God, grant me so to receive the Body
of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord
Jesus Christ, which He took of the
Virgin Mary, that I may be found
worthy to be incorporated with His
mystical Body and numbered among
SSPX Holy Name Society Prayer Book
His members. O most loving Father,
grant that I may one day contemplate
for ever, face to face, Thy beloved Son,
Whom now on my pilgrimage I am
about to receive under the sacramental
veils. Amen.

Prayer before a Crucifix
Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I
cast myself upon my knees in Thy
sight, and with the most fervent desire
of my soul, I pray and beseech Thee
that Thou would impress upon my
Page 13 of 20
heart lively sentiments of faith, hope
and charity with true contrition for my
sins and a firm purpose of amendment;
while with deep affection and grief of
soul I ponder within my self and
mentally contemplate Thy five wounds,
having before my eyes the words that
David the prophet put upon Thy lips
concerning Thee, O good Jesus: they
have pieced my hands and my feet,
they have numbered all my bones.
Amen.
Universal Prayer of Clement XI For
All Things Necessary To Salvation
O my God, I believe in Thee, but do
Thou strengthen my faith. All my
hopes are in Thee, do Thou secure
them. I love Thee with my whole heart,
teach me to love Thee daily more and
more. I am sorry for having offended
Thee, do Thou increase my sorrow.
I adore Thee as my first beginning, I
aspire after Thee as my last end. I give
Thee thanks as my constant benefactor;
I call upon Thee as my sovereign
protector.
Vouchsafe, O my God, to conduct me
by Thy wisdom, to restrain me by Thy
justice, to comfort me by Thy mercy, to
defend me by Thy power.
To Thee I desire to consecrate all my
thoughts, words, actions, and
sufferings; that henceforward I may
think of Thee, speak of Thee, and
willingly refer all my actions to Thy
greater glory: and suffer willingly
whatever Thou shalt appoint.
Lord, I desire that in all things Thy will
may be done, because it is Thy will,
and in the manner that Thou willets.
I beg of Thee to enlighten my
understanding, to inflame my will, to
purify my body, and to sanctify my
SSPX Holy Name Society Prayer Book
soul. Give me strength, O my God, to
expiate my offences, to overcome my
temptations, to subdue my passions,
and to acquire the virtues proper for my
state.
Fill my heart with tender affection for
Thy goodness, a hatred for my faults, a
love for my neighbour, and a contempt
of the world.
Let me always remember to be
submissive to my superiors, charitable
to my inferiors, faithful to my friends,
and indulgent towards my enemies.
Assist me to overcome sensuality by
mortification, avarice by almsgiving,
anger by meekness and tepidity by
devotion.
O my God, make me prudent in my
undertakings, courageous in dangers,
patient in afflictions, and humble in
prosperity. Grant, that I may be ever
attentive in my prayers, temperate at
my meals, diligent in my appointments,
and constant in my resolutions.
Let my conscience be ever upright and
pure, my exterior modest, my
conversation edifying, and my
comportment regular.
Assist me, that I may continually
labour to overcome nature, by
corresponding to Thy grace, to keep
Thy commandments and to work out
my salvation.
Discover to me, O my God, the
nothingness of this world, the greatness
of Heaven, the shortness of time, and
the length of eternity.
Grant, that I may prepare for death, that
I may fear Thy judgments, that I may
escape hell, and in the end obtain
heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Prayer of St. Augustine
(Made public by order of Pope Urban
VII. 430)
Before Thy eyes, O Lord, we bring our
offences, and we compare them with
the stripes we have received.
If we consider the evil we have
wrought, what we suffer is little, what
we deserve is great.
What we have committed is very grave,
what we have suffered is very slight.
We feel the punishment of sin, yet
withdraw not from the obstinacy of
sinning.
Under Thy lash our inconstancy is
visited, but our sinfulness is not
changed.
Our suffering soul is tormented, but our
neck is not bent.
Our life groans under sorrow, yet
mends not in deed.
If Thou spare us we correct not our
ways: if Thou punish we cannot endure
it.
In time of correction we confess our
wrongdoing: after Thy visitation we
forget that we have wept.
If Thou stretch forth Thy hand we
promise amendment; if Thou withhold
the sword we keep not our promise.
If Thou strike we cry out for mercy: if
Thou spare we again provoke Thee to
strike.
Here we are before Thee, O Lord
shameless criminals; we know that
unless Thou pardon we shall
deservedly perish.
Grant then almighty Father, without
our deserving it, the pardon we ask for;
Thou, Who made out of nothing, those
who ask Thee. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
SSPX Holy Name Society Prayer Book
V. Deal not with us, O Lord,
according to our sins.
R. Neither requite us according to
our iniquities
Let us pray,
O God. Thou are offended by sin and
pacified by penance; mercifully regard
the prayers of Thy suppliant people and
turn away the scourges of Thy wrath,
which we deserve for our sins. Through
Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Confession
Prayers For Confession
My God, grant me light to know my
sins, grace to confess them with
humility, grace to be truly sorry for
them, and above all, the grace of a
sincere purpose of amendment. All ye
saints in heaven who were at one time
sinners here on earth, pray and
intercede for me, a poor sinner; help
me to make a good confession. Mary,
Refuge of Sinners, pray for me. Amen.
Prayer to St. Gerard
St. Gerard Patron of a Good
Confession, pray for souls over come
by fear and shame; your prayers won
courage to confess sins wilfully
concealed from the minister of God.
Help me to make a good confession.
Help me to know my sins.
Obtain for me true sorrow for my sins,
a firm purpose never to sin again. And
when I kneel in the Confessional be
with me and help me to tell all my sins
in spite of fear or shame. St. Gerard, in
your hands I place this Confession. Be
to me what you were to many another

poor soul, "an angel of God sent to
deliver me from hell." Amen.
Examination Of Conscience
Prayer of St. Alphonsus.
O God of Infinite Majesty, behold at
the feet the traitor, who has again
offended thee, but who now in all
humility asks; Thy pardon O Lord,
reject me not. Thou canst not despise
humble heart. I thank Thee for having
waited for me, for not having allowed
me, to die when I was in sin and to be
sent to Hell, as I had deserved. The
patience Thou hast shown towards me
makes me hope that through the merits
of Jesus Christ Thou wilt pardon in this
confession all my offences I repent of
them because I have deserved hell and
I have lost heaven, I have displeased
Thee Who art Infinite Goodness.
I love Thee O Sovereign Good and
because I love Thee. I repent of all my
offences against Thee. I have turned
my back upon Thee. I have despised
thy grace, Thy friendship in a word. O
Lord, I have willfully lost Thee. For the
love of Jesus Christ: forgive me all my
sins: I repent of them with my whole
heart: I hate, I detest them, I abhor
them more than all other evils. I repent
not only of my mortal but venial sins
which likewise displease Thee. I
purpose for the future, with the help of
thy grace, never more willfully to
offend Thee. My God, may I die rather
than sin again. Amen.
ACT OF TRUE CONTRITION
O my God, I am sorry for all the sins I
have committed during my life, since
my last confession, and since my last
act of contrition.
O my God, I am sorry and beg pardon
for all my sins, and I detest them above
SSPX Holy Name Society Prayer Book
all things, because they have crucified
my loving Saviour, Jesus Christ, but
most of all, because they offend Thine
Infinite Goodness. I firmly resolve by
the help of Thy grace, never to offend
Thee again and carefully to avoid all
the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Prayer of St. Alphonsus
My dear Jesus, how much do I not owe
Thee. By the merits of Thy blood I
trust that I have this day been
pardoned. I thank Thee with all my
heart. My God, I have often lost Thee
in the past, but I will lose thee no more.
I am really resolved to change my life.
Thou deservest all my love. My will is
never again to be separated from Thee.
I have already promised Thee, and I
promise Thee again at this moment,
rather to die than to offend Thee again.
I promise to avoid the occasions of my
sins, and to use this means (here
mention it) for not falling again.
But Thou my Jesus, knowest my
weaknesses; give me the grace to be
faithful to Thee until death, and to have
recourse to Thee in my temptations.
Most Holy Virgin Mary assist me. You
are the Mother of Perseverance: all my
hope is in Thee; help me to keep my
resolutions. Amen.
Our Father. Hail Mary, for these
intentions.

THE “MEMORARE”
(Prayer of St. Bernard to our Blessed
Lady.)
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 to thee, O
Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee
do 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 them.
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 shall
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! relying on Thy infinite
mercy and promises, I hope to obtain
pardon for my sins, the help of Thy

Redeemer. Amen.
ACT OF CHARITY
O my God! I love Thee above all
things, with my whole heart and soul,
because Thou art all good and worthy
of all my love; I love my neighbour as
myself for the love of Thee; I forgive
all who have injured me, and ask
pardon of all whom I have injured.
Amen
SSPX Holy Name Society Prayer Book
ACT OF CONTRITION:
O my God! I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee 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 Thee my
God, who art all good 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.
PRAYER TO THE GUARDIAN
ANGEL

Prayer to St. Joseph
O blessed Joseph, faithful guardian and

always serve them in holiness and
purity of life. Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in

Satan and all the evil spirits who

For First Fridays:
ACT OF REPARATION TO THE
SACRED HEART
Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing
charity for men is requited by so much
forgetfulness, negligence and con-
tempt, behold us prostrate before Thee,
eager to repair by a special act of
homage the cruel indifference and in-
juries to which Thy loving Heart is
everywhere subject.
Mindful, alas! that we ourselves have
had a share in such great indignities,
which we now deplore from the depths
of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy par-
don and declare our readiness to atone
by voluntary expiation, not only for our
own personal offenses, but also for the
sins of those, who, straying far from
the path of salvation, refuse in their ob-
stinate infidelity to follow Thee, their
Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing
the promises of their baptism, have cast
off the sweet yoke of Thy law.
We are now resolved to expiate each
and every deplorable outrage commit-
ted against Thee; we are now determ-
ined to make amends for the manifold
offenses against Christian modesty in
unbecoming dress and behavior, for all
the foul seductions laid to ensnare the
feet of the innocent, for the frequent vi-
olations of Sundays and holy-days, and
the shocking blasphemies uttered
against Thee and Thy Saints. We wish
also to make amends for the insults to
which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy
priests are subjected, for the profana-
tion, by conscious neglect or terrible

Act of Consecration of the Human
Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the
human race, look down upon us
humbly prostrate before Thine altar.
We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be;
but, to be more surely united with
Thee, behold each one of us freely
consecrates himself today to Thy most
Sacred Heart.
Many indeed have never known Thee;
many too, despising Thy precepts, have
rejected Thee. Have mercy on them
all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them
to Thy Sacred Heart.
may It now descend upon them a laver
of redemption and of life.
Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church
assurance of freedom and immunity
from harm; give peace and order to all
nations, and make the earth resound
from pole to pole with one cry: Praise
be to the divine Heart that wrought our
salvation; to It be Glory and honour for
ever. Amen.

Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the

faithful who have never forsaken Thee,
but also of the prodigal children who
have abandoned Thee; grant that they
may quickly return to their Father’s
house lest they die of wretchedness and
hunger.

Be Thou King of those who are

deceived by erroneous opinions, or
whom discord keeps aloof, and call
them back to the harbor of truth and
unity of faith, so that soon there may be
but one flock and one Shepherd.

Be Thou King of all those who are still

involved in the darkness of idolatry or
of Islamism, and refuse not to draw
them all into the light and kingdom of
God.

Turn Thine eyes of mercy towards the

children of that race, once Thy chosen
people: of old they called down upon
themselves the Blood of the Saviour;
