| Our Daily Prayers
At St. Mary's School we have a tradition of saying prayers every day along
with the Pledge of Allegiance. Since we say these prayers every day, I
would like to show them to you. The following prayers we at St. Mary's
say every day:
~HAIL MARY~Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
~LORD'S PRAYER/OUR FATHER~Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
Your kingdom come;
Your 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
others who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
~MORNING OFFERING~Heavenly Father, I praise You and thank You for Your great love -
and I lift up this day for Your blessings! With Your help,
I will live today as a responsible, generous and honest student.
Like Jesus, I will try today to treat everyone I meet with
dignity and respect. With Jesus' spirit alive in me, I will
witness my love by thinking of others first and myself last.
Help me today, Father, to put into action what I have said in words.
I ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen.
~MEMORARE~Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to
thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee
do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
~ACT OF CONTRITION~O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
and I detest all my sins, because of Your just punishments,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve,
with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the
near occasions of sins.
Amen.
~HAIL, HOLY QUEEN~Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life,
our sweetness and our hope, to you do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve; to you do we
send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in
this vale of tears; turn, then, most gracious
Advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us,
and after this, our exile, show unto us the
blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement,
O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us,
O holy Mother of God, that we may be made
worthy of the promises of Christ.
Amen. |
