St. Mary Goretti.

Oh, God, author of innocence and lover of chastity, who bestowed the grace of
martyrdom on your handmaid, the virgin saint maria Goretti, in her youth, grant we
pray, through her intercession, that, as you gave her a crown for her steadfastness, so
we, too, may be firm in obeying your commandments. Oh, saint maria Goretti who,
strengthened by God’s grace, did not hesitate even at the age of twelve to shed your
blood and sacrifice life itself to defend your purity, look graciously on the unhappy
human race which has strayed far from the path of eternal salvation. Teach us all, and
especially youth, with what courage and promptitude we should flee for the love of
Jesus anything that could offend Him or stain our souls with sin. Obtain for us from
our Lord victory in temptation, comfort in the sorrows of life, and the grace which we
earnestly beg of you (….intention), and may we one day enjoy with thee the
imperishable glory of heaven. Amen.

Padre Pio
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.

 vocation
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge,
understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they
can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide
their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their
minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in
God's holy service. Amen.

The Te Deum
You are God: we praise you; You are God: we acclaim you; You are the eternal
Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
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 noble fellowship of prophets praises 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. We praise your name forever. Keep us today, Lord, from all sin. Have mercy on
us, Lord, have mercy. Lord, show us your love and mercy; For we put our trust in you.
In you, Lord, is our hope: And we shall never hope in vain. Amen.

Take, Lord, Receive

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my entire
will - all that I have and call my own. You have given it all to me. To you, Lord, I
return it. Everything is Yours, do with it as You will. Give me only Your love and
Your grace. That is enough for me. Amen.
