Prayer for One's Own Conversion

Convert me, Jesus, convert me completely to yourself, for if you do not make me a saint, I will not know how to work in your vineyard and will end by betraying your interests instead of rendering them successful.

St. Francis de Sales

Consecration to the Holy Trinity

I vow and consecrate to God all that is in me: my memory and my actions to God the Father; my understanding and my words to God the Son; my will and my thoughts to God the Holy Ghost; my heart, my body, my tongue, my senses, and all my sorrows to the sacred Humanity of Jesus Christ, "who was contented to be betrayed into the hands of wicked men and to suffer the torment of the Cross."

Divine Perfections Prayer

O abyss of the divine perfections! How admirable art thou, to possess in one only perfection the excellence of all perfection in so excellent a manner that none can comprehend it by thyself!

Prayer for Expectant Mothers

Eternal God, Father of infinite goodness, who hast ordained marriage to increase the human race here below and re-people the heavenly City above, and hast destined woman to be the principal agent in the task, it is Thy will that fruitfulness should bring proof of Thy blessing. Look upon me now, bowed down in adoration before the face of Thy Majesty to thank Thee for the conception of the child who is Thy gift to my body. But, Lord, since Thou hast acted thus in Thy loving-kindness, stretch out the arms of Thy providence and bring to perfection the work Thou hast begun. Impart to my childbearing something of Thine own divine excellence, and by Thy never-failing assistance, help me to bear this babe, the result of Thy creative power, until the hour is ripe to bring the child to birth. Then, O God of my life, come to my aid, with Thy holy hand support my weakness and receive the fruit of my womb; preserve the infant who is Thine by creation until the Sacrament of Baptism lays him in the bosom of your bride, the Church, and makes him Thine too by redemption. Savior of my soul, who on earth showed such tenderness towards the little ones gathered in Thine embrace, receive yet another, I pray, and adopt him into Thy sacred sonship. When he belongs to Thee and can call Thee Father, then shall Thy name be hallowed in him, and Thy kingdom come. Therefore, O Redeemer of the world, I vow, dedicate, and consecrate my child with all my heart to obedience to Thy law, to love of Thy service, and the service of Thy love. And inasmuch as Thy just wrath subjected the mother of the human race with all her sinful posterity to much pain and sorrow in childbirth, I accept at Thy hands, O Lord, whatever travail may be mine in that hour. I make but one petition. By the sacred joy with which Thine innocent Mother gave birth, be gracious to me in my hour of pain, poor and unworthy sinner that I am, and bless me and the child Thou has bestowed upon me, with the blessing of Thine everlasting love. With complete trust in Thy goodness, I ask this gift in all humility. And, you, most holy Virgin Mother, my Lady and incomparable Mistress, peerless boast of womankind, open wide your protecting arms and receive into the motherly lap of your sovereign courtesy my desires and supplications, so that your Son in His mercy may deign to grant my prayer. Most lovable of all creatures, by the virginal love you cherished for St. Joseph, your husband most dear, by the infinite merits of your Son's birth, by the sacred womb that bore Him...I entreat of you to obtain for me what I ask. Holy angels of God, appointed to guard me and the child I bear, defend and govern us, so that under your protection we may one day attain to the glory which is your delight, and in your company praise and bless the Lord and Master of us all, who liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of St. Francis de Sales

O Eternal Love: My soul desires and chooses you eternally. Ah, come, Holy Spirit: Inflame our hearts with your love! To love or to die, to die and to love: to die to all other love in order to live to Jesus' love, that we may not die eternally, but that, living in your eternal love, O Savior of our souls, we may eternally sing: Blessed be Jesus, who lives and reigns forever! Amen.

Prayer for Unbelievers

O God, the everlasting Creator of all things, remember that the souls of unbelievers were made by Thee and formed in Thine own image and likeness. Remember that Jesus, Thy Son, endured a most bitter death for their salvation. Permit not, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy Son should be any longer despised by unbelievers, but do Thou graciously accept the prayers of holy men and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and be mindful of Thy mercy. Forget their idolatry and unbelief, and grant that they too may some day know him whom Thou hast sent...the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Salvation, our Life and Resurrection, by whom we have been [redeemed] and delivered, to whom be glory for endless ages. Amen.

St. Fulgentius

Prayer for Truth

We beseech you, O God, the God of Truth, that what we know not of things we ought to know you will teach us. That what we now of Truth you will keep us therein. That what we are mistaken in, as men must be, you will correct. That at whatsoever truths we stumble you will yet establish us. And from all things that are false and from all knowledge that would be hurtful, you will evermore deliver us, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
