Prayer For Salvation

My God, since I believe that you are and that you are a rewarder of those who seek you, their reward exceeding great, I come to you for the salvation of my soul, the outcome of my faith. I am but dust and ashes and fear to fall into the hands of the living God. With fear and trembling I work out my salvation, striving for justice, self-control and charity. I believe your mercy is above all your works, your promise of salvation is to those who persevere and perfect love casts out fear. Have mercy on me, a sinner, through Jesus Christ my saviour. Amen.

Prayer For A Good Death

Lord, grant me the grace not only to be
ready and willing to die for you,
but also to live for you day by day,
till you call me home.
I offer you my dying, that I may
live with you forever. Amen.
(Adapted from St.Ignatius)

In Sickness

Father, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach
us the virtue of patience in human illness.
Hear the prayers we offer for(............) and all our sick
brothers and sisters.
May we realise that we are chosen to be saints,
and know that we are joined to Christ in his
sufferings for the salvation of the world. Amen.
(Adapted from Roman Missal)

Prayer For Good Friends

Father, keep safe for me those whom
I love
I am so lonely without them
Protect them and let their thoughts
bear fruit that will honour your
name
When they feel sad, help them to be
patient and to trust in you and your
saving power.
When they take their rest at night,
keep all evil away from them
In the morning, renew your goodness to them
Give them the joys of earth which
you have made for pure souls
Lead them one day into your kingdom
where they will praise your name forever. (Amen)

The Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light, and
Where there is sorrow, joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
