Fatima Prayers

My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, I and I love Thee! I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and, do not love Thee.

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore You! My God, my God, I love You in the Most Blessed Sacrament!

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly, I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles throughout the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences by which He Himself is offended.  And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.  Amen

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  As though You have already come, I embrace You and  unite myself entirely to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You.  Amen.

 

Prayer for Holy Vocations

Eternal Father, please send the Holy Spirit to encourage men and women to follow Your Holy Will. May the men You are calling to the Holy Priesthood, respond with a generous heart,  serving Holy Mother Church as  they sanctify their lives, and those whom they serve. May those You are calling to the Consecrated Religious Life, respond too, with a generous heart, remain faithful to their vows, as they aid in the sanctification of many. May  men and women You are calling to the Married Life be faithful to their holy covenant, devoted to the well being of their spouse and family, while working tirelessly for their sanctification, leading those You have entrusted into their care  to Eternal Life with Christ. May those You are calling to the Consecrated Single Life stay focused on Eternal Life as they live sanctified lives with Christ. Invoking the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we ask this through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son.  Amen. (Pray: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)

 

Based on a prayer by Pope John Paul II

O Father, raise up among Christians abundant and holy vocations to the priesthood, who keep the faith alive and guard the blessed memory of Your Son Jesus through the preaching of His word and the administration of the Sacraments, with which You continually renew Your faithful. Grant us holy ministers of Your altar, who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist, the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ for the redemption of the world. Call ministers of Your mercy, who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, spread the joy of Your forgiveness. Grant, O Father, that the Church may welcome with joy the numerous inspirations of the Spirit of Your Son and, docile to His teachings, may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the consecrated life. Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons, consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ, so that they may faithfully fulfill their mission at the service of the Gospel. This we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen. Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us.
