6AM
1. Pater Noster.
[Yes, Latin. Maybe the devil does hate
prayer in Latin, but regardless, herewith is the divine prayer given to man
and prayed in the language used by nearly every saint.]
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem
nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos
dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera
nos a malo. Amen.
2. Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy
kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.
3. Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art
thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
4. Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
5. O My Jesus
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of
hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Your mercy!
6. General Prayer
Intentions
a. God, help and protect
our Pope, Pope Francis. Grant to him eyes to see and courage to act. Give him
grace to rule over and manage the Church of Christ as our Lord Jesus Christ
Himself would do.
b. God, help Bishops and
Priests everywhere to live up to their high calling in Christ Jesus and to
cleanse your Church of error and confusion. Teach them to be faithful to Christ
and to His Church. May they prove to be good Shepherds to their flock.
c. Lord, as you have
done in days past, save sinners today, as you have saved me and grow Your
Church. Help me to assist in that goal, witnessing for Christ to all those that
cross my path today.
d. God, put an end to abortion
today. Guide me in all my efforts to achieve that goal and especially give me
wisdom for all my local undertakings. Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen
intercede for me and help me to obtain heavenly assistance to hold Bishops and
Priests accountable, in all charity and perseverance, for their actions or lack
thereof in the spiritual battle to end abortion and to defend the teachings of
Mother Church. God shape all my efforts into a great spear, the tip of which
will soon pierce the heart of the demons of abortion and unbelief.
e. God, move in the hearts of
rulers and kings everywhere so that each might seek out your wisdom, justice
and mercy in order to bring peace and prosperity to their nation. Help them to
realize that to whom much is given, much is required. May your Holy Spirit
convince them of sin, righteousness and judgment, and make them favourable to
receive and protect the work of missionaries. Especially convert the heart of
the President of the USA, [here insert name], to Christ, for God’s
greater glory throughout all nations.
f. O Lord, raise
up prophets throughout our land, especially Bishops, who, in sackcloth and
ashes will warn and call back to God His people, that the judgment of God on
this nation be averted.
g. God, help, defend and
rescue your people in all lands who suffer persecution because of their faith
in Christ. Some suffer acutely and some perish. Put compassion into the hearts
of their persecutors and move upon their countrymen to intercede on their
behalf. Yet through the sufferings of Your people, grow Your Church.
h. God, bless all good and holy
priests everywhere, such as ___________________ [herein insert names of priests
prayed for daily]. Expand their understanding, increase their capacities and
vision, enlarge their borders that they may reach many more souls for Christ
and pastor well the flock of God. Grant to each a warrior's spirit and a
martyr's heart. Help them to fully live up to the light that you have given
them. [Herein include any special requests for these Priests.]
7. Prayer Intentions for
Family & Friends
Blessed Virgin Mary, intercede on my behalf and on behalf of
all my family today. Help us as you would your own family. Send holy men,
women, angels and saints into the lives of each one mentioned to help them on
the path to salvation and to guide, protect and defend from Satan.
a. For immediate family.
[Herein name each and pray for specific needs, especially spiritual concerns.]
A special prayer for those affected by the torment of injustice of family
breakup. May God help each one today in their struggles to overcome the pain,
distress and rejection experienced by such.
b. For family near and far,
known and unknown, that they may all be brought into the family of God and that
all who have strayed may be drawn back to God.
c. For all Catholic friends
and associates, that God might strengthen them in their faith and witness. And
for our Latin Mass community that we might, as a community of faith, come to
truly reflect the Body of Christ. Help us to contribute to the spiritual needs
of one another and the building up of the Church.
d. For all those who have
requested or are known to be in need of physical healing. [Herein name each and
pray for specific needs known or expressed.]
8. Prayer for the Holy
Souls in Purgatory
God, have mercy upon all Holy Souls and aid them in their
progress toward the beatific vision. Help them to deal with their sins and
offenses such that their lives might be cleansed and purified. Refresh and
relieve them on their journey to full salvation and purity of heart. May they
one day, in Heaven, pray for me likewise.
9. God, grant me today
the means and opportunity to earn a steady income that I might support my
family, fulfil all my earthly obligations honorably and contribute to the work
of the Kingdom. Teach me to sow the rights seeds in order to accomplish these
goals.
10. My Lord and my God, above all today, teach
me to love You supremely and to discern Your will for my life so that I do not
fail in my heavenly calling.
