Prayer to Infant Jesus of Prague

Mother Mary and Infant Jesus

Here is a prayer that you can say every morning, sweet words that you can offer up to the Dear Holy Child – the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague.

O my Dear little Miraculous Infant Jesus, I sincerely offer up to You all my humble will, so that You will be able to greatly strengthen me, and also my feeble mind so that You can inspire all my thoughts. Bless my intentions, wishes and needs, I pray that you may be able to grant them.

All my intentions, I pray that you will guide them. All my daily routine and activities, bless them that they may be sacred in the eyes of the Lord.

Everything that I am and what I am made of is all Yours, my sweet little Infant Jesus. Hear my prayers and lead my life to the right path; help me not to leave you and your presence.

Amen.

O Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague, I believe that I will be cleansed of all my sins through the precious hands of Blessed Mother Mary.

To all Masses being said all over the world today, I fully commend myself and offer them up to the souls suffering in purgatory.

Saint Paul of the Cross

Below is a short prayer dedicated to Saint Paul –

O my holy St Paul of the Cross,
You have announced the wonders of the Lord
Through the Passion of His only beloved Son
By words and by actions,
You Saint Paul have become for us a spiritual guide
and teacher of the Holy Gospel
to the world that has become indifferent
to the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Help and guide us to witness the love of God
in the loving cross of the Lord Jesus,
and teach us to believe and trust
in all of the blessings and graces God gives to us.
And let the Passion and love of Jesus Christ
be in our hearts,
and bring forth life to everyone.
Amen.

Say Your Intention to St. Rita

I will publish again a short prayer to the Patroness of Impossible and Hopeless Cases, Saint Rita of Cascia. The have altered the wordings according to my own personal style of praying.

Prayer to St Rita of Cascia

Oh Holy Lady Patron of those you are in dire need, Saint Rita of Cascia, you are so pure, so persevering and yet exuding great humility. Your words to the Lord are so irresistible that it is impossible not to be heard. Please help us in our intentions and prayers, obtain in our behalf our intentions from the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is my request (say your intention now). Guide us always, be with us as we tread through our humble lifes for the glory and honor of God. We promise to give you the honor that you deserve and sing and shout all your praises.

Amen.

The feast day of Saint Rita of Cascia is on the 22nd of May.

Novena: Praying Through Our Patron Saints

A lot of Catholics have their own personal Patron Saints, and most of them pray to the Lord through these Catholic Saints. I have to say “pray though saints” because this is actually what we should be doing. Saints are just messengers of our prayers to the Lord. They are like facilitators of our prayers, wishes and requests to God.

In praying through the Saints, one formal way of doing it is by saying the novena. It is a prayer that is usually said one day in a week for nine consecutive weeks. Another way of praying a novena is by saying it for 9 straight days.

Novenas are usually prayed whenever someone has a petition or intention. You will see on the middle part or at the end of the prayer an enclosed message: (Here silently say your intention.) Then aside from the novena prayer, you are also requested to say a number of “Our Father,” “Hail Mary” and “Glory Be.”

Some novenas ask the devotees to publish the prayers once the intention or petition is granted or make a testimonial about any gained positive experience.

There are many devotees who pray the novena of their Catholic Saints without any personal intention but actually do it to continuously honor their saints.

Most saint novenas are available at parish churches, shrines and chapels, and even at bookstores, albeit there are many churches and religious institutions that give them away for free.

To Another Wonderful Christmas this Year

Christmas once again is over. Did you remember giving everyone some religious token such as saint medals or personalized guardian angel pins? We have to wait again for a year to celebrate this most joyous of all Catholic and Christian holiday. And it is such a long and anxious wait. For the mean time, let us try to keep in our hearts the joy and love that Christmas of this year has imparted on us. Let us save them and not let them erode from us. Keep the fire of warmth and Christian brotherhood burning within us as we look forward to another joyous and blessed Christmas this year. And by the way: Happy Three Kings! from Saint Rita of Cascia.
