Prayer
of St. Pachomius |
O
God, Creator of heaven and earth, cast on me an eye of pity:
deliver me from my miseries: teach me the true way of pleasing
you, and it shall be the whole employment, and most earnest study
of my life to serve you, and to do your will. |

Prayer
of St. Paschal Baylon |
I
desire to love you, my Lord, my Light, my Strength, my Deliverer,
my God, and my All. What have I in heaven, O God, and what do I
want besides your majesty. You are the God of my heart, you are my
portion, my inheritance for eternity. Amen. |

The
Breastplate of St. Patrick ("The Lorica") |
I
bind to myself today the strong power of an invocation of the
Trinity, the faith of the Trinity in Unity, the Creator of the
Universe. I bind to myself today the might of the Incarnation of
Christ with that of His Baptism, the might of His Crucifixion with
that of His Burial, the might of His Resurrection with that of His
Ascension, the might of His Coming on the Judgment Day. I bind to
myself today the power in the love of the Seraphim, in the
obedience of the Angels, in the ministration of the Archangels, in
the hope of Resurrection unto reward, in the prayers of the
Patriarchs, in the predictions of the Prophets, in the preaching
of the Apostles, in the faith of the Confessors, in the purity of the
holy Virgins, in the deeds of righteous men. I bind to myself
today the power of Heaven, the brightness of the sun, the
whiteness of snow, the splendor of fire, the speed of lightening,
the swiftness of wind, the depth of the sea, the stability of the
Earth, the firmness of rocks. I bind to myself today God's Power to
pilot me, God's Might to uphold me, God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me, God's Ear to hear me, God's Word to give me
speech, God's Hand to guide me, God's Way to lie before me, God's
Shield to shelter me, God's Host to secure me. Against the snares
of demons, against the seductions of vices, against the lusts of
nature, against everyone who meditates injury to me, whether far
or near, whether few or with many. I invoke today all these
virtues against every hostile merciless power which may assail my
body and my soul, against the incantations of false prophets, against
the black laws of heathenism, against the false laws of heresy,
against the deceits of idolatry, against the spells of women, and smiths,
and druids, against every knowledge that blinds the soul of man.
Christ protect me today against poison, against burning, against
drowning, against wounding, that I may receive abundant reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ under me, Christ above me, Christ at my right, Christ at my
left, Christ in lying down, Christ in sitting, Christ in rising
up. Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in
the mouth of every man who speaks to me, Christ in every eye that
sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. I bind to myself today
the strong power of an invocation of the Trinity, The faith of the
Trinity in Unity, the Creator of the Universe. Salvation is of the
Lord, Salvation is of the Lord, Salvation is of Christ; May Your
salvation, O Lord, be with us forever. Amen. |

Prayer
of St. Peter Damian |
Have
mercy, Lord, on all my friends and relatives, on all my
benefactors, on all who pray to you for me, and on all who have
asked me to pray for them. Give them the spirit of fruitful
penance; mortify them in all vices, and make them flower in all
your virtues. |

Prayer
of St. Peter of Alcantara |
Grant
me grace, O Lord, to love you, my one hope, according to your
command, with all my heart, and all my soul, and all my strength.
You are all my glory, my refuge, and my consolation, my best of
friends, my soul's betrothed, all radiant and alluring, sweeter
than honey. Delight of my heart, my soul's life and joy; you are
my everlasting happiness and my soul's paradise, my loving
creator, and all that I can desire. |
|
Prayer
of St. Peter of Alcantara |
Hear
me, O Lord, my soul's delight, joy of my heart, not because of my
merits, but because of your boundless goodness. Teach me,
enlighten me, direct me; help me in all things, that I may never
say or do anything but what I know to be pleasing in your sight.
Guide me, O God, my love, my light, and my life! |

Priest's
Prayer |
Oh
Jesus, my heart's desire and my life, as I raise you up in
trembling hands in the mystery of love, may I be with you, the
way, the truth and the life for the world, and for you a holy
priest, a perfect victim. |

Prayer
of a Martyr |
O
Lord God Almighty, Father of your blessed and beloved son Jesus
Christ, through whom we have been given knowledge of you, you are
the God of the angels and powers, of the whole creation, and of
all the generations of the righteous who live in your light. I
bless you for grating me this day and hour, that I may be numbered
among the martyrs, to share the cup of your Anointed and to raise
again to life everlasting, both in body and soul, in the
immortality of the Holy Spirit. May I be received among them this
day in your presence, a sacrifice rich and acceptable, even as you
did appoint and foreshow, and now bring to pass, for you are the
God of truth and in you there is no falsehood. For this, and for
all else besides, I praise you, I bless you, I glorify you through
our eternal High Priest in heaven, your beloved son Jesus Christ,
by whom and with whom be glory to you and the Holy Spirit, now and
forever. (c. 155 A.D.) |
