Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son
the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation:
Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of Him
who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Almighty God, you have poured upon us
the new light of your incarnate Word:
Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts,
may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Merciful God, who sent your messengers
the prophets to preach repentance
and prepare the way for our salvation:
Give us grace to heed their warnings
and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy
the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose,
make intercession for the Holy Church,
protect the Sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary,
and Mother of the True God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith, of sweet hope
in the midst of the bitterness of life, of burning charity,
and the precious gift of final perseverance.
Amen.
Almighty God, during this Advent season,
kindle in every heart the true love of peace,
and guide with Your eternal wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the earth,
that in tranquility Your dominion may increase
until the earth is filled with Your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You, in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
O Jesus, Divine Master,
I thank and bless Your most merciful Heart
for having given us Mary most holy as our Mother,
Teacher and Queen.
From the cross You placed us all in her hands.
You gave her a great heart,
much wisdom and immense power.
May all mankind know her, pray to her!
May all permit themselves to be led by her to You,
the Savior of mankind!
I placed myself in her hands,
as You placed Yourself.
With this Mother I want to live now,
in the hour of my death,
and for all eternity.
Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is
to restore all things in Your well-beloved Son,
the King of kings and Lord of lords:
Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth,
divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed
and brought together under His most gracious rule;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures
to be written for our learning: Grand us
so to hear them, read, mark, learn
and inwardly digest them, that we
may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed
hope of everlasting life, which You have
given us in our Savior Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world
that He might destroy the works of the devil
and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life:
Grant that, having this hope, we may purify
ourselves as He is pure; that, when He comes again
with power and great glory, we may be made like Him
in His eternal and glorious kingdom; where
He lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by Your gift
that Your faithful people offer You true and laudable
service: Grant that we may run without stumbling
to obtain your heavenly promises;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God,
increase in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity;
and, that we may obtain what you promise,
make us love what you command;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ
You have revealed Your glory among nations:
Preserve the works of Your mercy,
that Your Church throughout the world
may persevere with steadfast faith
in the confession of Your Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Lord, we pray that Your grace
may always precede and follow us,
that we may continually
be given to good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God,
You are always more ready to hear than we to pray,
and to give more than we either desire or deserve:
Pour upon us the abundance of Your mercy,
forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid,
and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask,
except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior;
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
