Lord, I am broken, fix me

Lord, I am broken, fix me.
My ears are deaf, help me to hear.
My eyes are blind, help me to see.
My heart is hardened, help me to love.
Lord, reach out with your healing hand, and remake me in your image.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive or be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.

Litany of Humility

by Cardinal Merry del Val

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me
From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me Jesus.
From the desire of being loved, ...
From the desire of being extolled, ...
From the desire of being honored, ...
From the desire of being praised, ...
From the desire of being preferred to others, ...
From the desire of being consulted, ...
From the desire of being approved, ...
From the fear of being humiliated, ...
From the fear of being despised, ...
From the fear of suffering rebukes, ...
From the fear of being calumniated, ...
From the fear of being forgotten, ...
From the fear of being ridiculed, ...
From the fear of being wronged, ...
From the fear of being suspected, ...

That others may be loved more than I, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I, ...
That in the opinion of the world others may increase and I may decrease, ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside, ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed, ...
That others may be preferred to me in everything, ...
That others become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should, ...

A Prayer for Divine Mercy

by Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all humanity calls out from the abyss of its misery to your mercy--to your compassion, O God, and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power, we cannot ascend to you, we implore you: anticipate us with your grace and keep on increasing your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do your holy will all through our life and at death's hour. Let the omnipotence of your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation's enemies, that we may, with confidence as your children, await your final coming--that day known to you alone; and we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of our wretchedness. For Jesus is our hope! Through his merciful heart as through an open gate we pass through to heaven. Amen.

Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

by Saint Ignatius Loyola

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within your wounds, hide me
Separated from Thee, let me never be
From the evil one, protect me
At the hour of my death, call me
Close to Thee, bid me
That with all the saints, I may praise Thee
Praise you forever and forever, Amen.

Memorare (Remember)

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
