God’s Prayer – 2
My Lord,
I offer you my thoughts:
to be fixed on you;
My words:
to have you for their theme;
My actions:
to reflect my love for you;
My sufferings:
to be endured for your greater glory.
I want to do what you ask of me:
In the way you ask,
For as long as you ask,
Because you ask it.
Lord, enlighten my understanding,
Strengthen my will,
Purify my heart,
and make me holy.
Help me to repent of my past sins
And to resist temptation in the future.
Help me to rise above my human weaknesses
And to grow stronger as a Christian.
Amen.
God’s Prayer – 3
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.
God’s Prayer – 4
Gracious and Holy Father,

intellect to understand you,
reason to discern you,

a spirit to know you,
a heart to meditate upon you,
ears to hear you,
eyes to to see you,
a tongue to proclaim you,
a way of life pleasing to you,
patience to wait for you
and perseverance to look for you.
Grant me a perfect end,
your holy presence,
a blessed resurrection
and life everlasting.
Amen.

Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise Thee. We bless Thee. We adore Thee. We glorify Thee. We give Thee thanks for Thy great glory. O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Who sittest at the right of the Father, have mercy on us. For Thou only art holy, Thou only the Lord Thou only the most high, O Jesus Christ. Together with the Holy Ghost, + in the glory of God the Father.

God’s Prayer – 6
O God, Who dost deign mercifully to bestow upon us infinite treasures of love in the Heart of Thy Son, which was wounded for our sins; grant, we beseech Thee, that we who pay Him the devout homage of our piety, may in like manner show unto Thee our due of worthy satisfaction.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
God’s Prayer – 7
O Word of the Father, that camest into this world, and wast made Flesh! O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world! to thee do we come, and, in prostrate adoration, beseech thee to give us to drink of the Blood shed for us in thy sacred Passion.
Show unto us the marks of thy Divine wounds! Let the invincible standard of thy glorious cross be raised on high, and, by its imperishable power, bring salvation to them that believe.
The reed, the nails, the spittle, the gall, the crown of thorns, the whips, the spear, these were the instruments of Thy sufferings: oh! cleanse us by them from all our sins.
May the Blood that gushed from Thy sacred Wounds, flow on our hearts and purify them from their stains of guilt, enable us to pass through this world without sin, and give us, in the next, the reward of bliss.
That when the resurrection day shall break upon the world, brightening it with the splendors of the eternal kingdom, we may ascend by the path that leads above, and dwell in heaven, citizens eternal.
Honour be to the eternal God! Glory be to the one Father, and to his only Son, together with the Holy Ghost: the almighty Trinity, that liveth unceasingly for ever and ever.
Amen.
God’s Prayer – 8
O God, your gifts of grace to Mary lead us to look at her as our companion on life’s journey, our source of the true bread, Our Lady of the Prairies.
Through her prayer for us, may we know your protection on our pilgrim way and taste your manna, the bread of life, Jesus, your Son; through whom, in the Holy Spirit, be all glory to you forever and ever.
Amen.
God’s Prayer – 9
Lord God, our Eternal Father, we come to Thy Throne full of awe and reverence at Thy saving power. Through our Saviour Jesus Christ, we beg Thee to help us stop the widespread slaughter of unborn babies in our land. May our love for our innocent brothers and sisters closely resemble the love that exists in the Holy Family. Help us provide all human life with protection under our civil laws. We know that through the intercession of our Mother Mary, chosen Spouse of the Holy Spirit, our request will be granted.
Amen.
God’s Prayer – 10
O God, be gracious and bless us and let Your face shed its light upon us. So will Your ways be known upon earth and all nations learn Your saving help.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and exult for You rule the world with justice. With fairness You rule the peoples, You guide the nations on earth.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.
The earth has yielded its fruit for God, our God, has blessed us. May God still give us His blessing till the ends of the earth revere Him.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

Hail! most blessed Jesus,
eternal Son of the Most High God,
O deign to be merciful to those for whom we pray;
Thou Who didst expire on the cross for their sakes,
give rest to their souls.
To whom shall we turn, but to Thee?
Thou hast the words of the eternal life,
by which Thou canst shorten their sufferings,
and give them eternal rest.
Amen.
