DAILY PRAYERS
MORNING PRAYERS
BAPTISM: The Sacrament by which
I began a new day, receiving God’s
own Life, when I was born again as
a member of Christ’s Mystical Body,
the Church, cleansed from original
sin, made a Christian, a child of God
and an heir of Heaven! The new day
when I took an oath of allegiance to
serve under Christ, the King of all life.
(Always bless yourself upon rising.)
In the Name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be …
O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, Who hast
safely brought us to the beginning of a
new day, defend us this day by Thy
Power, so that we may not only turn
away from all sin, but also that our
every thought, word and deed may
proceed from and be directed according
to Thy Will. Through Our Lord
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and
reigneth with Thee in the union of the
Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Amen.
RENEWAL of BAPTISMAL VOWS
I RENEW my Baptismal Vows. I
renounce Satan and all his works and
all his pomps. I take JESUS CHRIST
for my Model and my Guide, and I
promise to be faithful to Him unto the
end of my life. Amen.
CONFIRMATION: The Sacrament
by which I received the Holy Spirit to
make me a strong, perfect Christian
and soldier of Jesus Christ; to
fight Antichrist inside and outside
myself; to be a co-worker with
Christ in every form of Catholic
Action.
RENEWAL of
CONFIRMATION GRACES:
O MY GOD, I thank Thee for all Thy
infinite Goodness in sending down
upon my soul Thy Holy Spirit with all
His Gifts and Graces. O, may He take
full possession of me forever. May His
heavenly Wisdom reign in my heart; His
Understanding enlighten my darkness;
His Counsel guide me; His Fortitude
strengthen me; His Knowledge instruct
me; His Piety make me fervent; His
Divine Fear keep me from all evil. Give
me grace to be Thy faithful soldier, so
that by fighting the good fight of faith,
I may be brought to the crown of eternal
life by the merits of Thy Son and Our
Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
EVENING PRAYERS:
PENANCE: The Sacrament by which,
as a repentant sinner, I receive
forgiveness even of mortal sin and,
thus, become again a living member
of Christ’s Mystical Body. Tonight,
therefore, I shall examine my
conscience in preparation for a
full Confession, realizing that I must
have a genuine sorrow for sin,
together with a determination to
sin no more.
