SHORT PRAYERS

PRAYER OF GRATITUDE

Remember Lord, my mother and my father, relatives, my godparents, teachers and friends who help me with their prayers and holy lives. Help us all to grow in the Holy Spirit and in lasting love for one another.

PRAYER OF TRUST

Father, I trust in You at all times. You know my weakness and sins and You know also that I love You. Help me to believe strongly, to hope for all things in You and to serve You devotedly.

PRAYER OF JOY

Father, I know Your kindness will never be surpassed. You are just, merciful, generous and near to those who call on You. I am glad to be reborn and filled with Your Holy Spirit.

Father, may Your loving Presence in the Eucharist protect me and keep me close to You.

YOU ARE A WITNESS

Prayer I:

Father, from Whom all good gifts come, You send us Your spirit with the power of a mighty wind. Keep open the windows of our minds, the doors of our hearts, so that we reflect Your light upon our world.

Prayer II:

Father, as we seek knowledge give us understanding as well, and as we work and play teach us fairness and moderation.

Prayer III:

Father, you have anointed us by Your Holy Spirit, and fed us with the Body and Blood of Your beloved Son. Support us in every trial as we study and work to ‘’understand the truth received from Him faithfully to proclaim it, and vigorously to defend it’’.

Prayer IV:

Father, make us more like Christ in bearing witness to You in the world.

Protect us with Your love and keep us close to You. You promised that the Spirit of Truth would be with Your Church forever.

Bless us with the courage to be witnesses to the Faith always and everywhere.
