Holy Trinity Prayer Group, Pray with us on Mondays

LITANY OF HEALING

For the times as children we were abused…Lord, lift the burden of this memory.
For the times we were accused of things unjustly…
For the times we made mistakes that others couldn't overlook…
For the times we accepted blame and shame for things we could not control…
For the times we have not accepted that God has forgiven us…
For the times we reached out to others and were rejected…
For the times we allowed the past to weigh us down with depression…
For the times we allowed ourselves to be used by others…
For the times we have allowed fear to control us…
For the times we have experienced separation from loved one through abandonment or divorce…
For the times we have experienced the wrenching pain of losing a loved one in death…

For those who have betrayed us… Father, forgive them.
For those who have let us down…
For those who have been indifferent to us…
For those who have crippled our lives by trying to control us…
For those who have doubted us…
For those who have accused us…
For those who have preferred others to us…
For those who have hurt us…
For those who have denied us…
For those who have walked away from us…

For my own self-pity…Father, forgive me.
For my lukewarmness…
For my times of despair and distrust…
For my refusals to be hugged…
For my disbelief in your love…
For my searching everywhere but in your heart…
For apologies frozen on my lips…
For unjust criticism of others…
For my constant complaint…
For my attempts to control others…
For my lack of surrender to you…
For my constant negativity…
For my useless worry…
For the times I have not allowed you to be God…

Lord, there are so many things I need to let go of, please help me to put my trust in you and let go of the burdens that I carry. May I always remember that the only burden I should take on in my life is the one you place on my shoulder – the burden of love and mercy.  Amen.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED TRINITY

The Father is my hope. The Son is my refuge. The Holy Spirit is my protector, Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever.

Let us praise the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; let us bless and exalt God above all forever!

Almighty and everlasting God, to whom we owe the grace of professing the true faith, grant that while acknowledging the glory of eternal Trinity and adoring it’s unity, we may through Your majestic power be confirmed in this faith and defended against all adversities; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just.

Let my charity be such as to offend no one and hurt no one’s feelings; so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me.

Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life. Enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations and console me in afflictions.

Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit and pour Your light into my heart, my soul and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen.

PRAYER FOR OUR UNBORN CHILD

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you with all my heart. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child that I have spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion. Amen.

Sing - Immaculate Mary Song

Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing. You reign now in heaven with Jesus our King.

(Refrain) Ave, Ave, Ave Maria. Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!

In heaven the blessed your glory proclaim; On earth we your children invoke your fair name. (Refrain)

We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth, and bless Holy Mary, the land of our birth. (Refrain)

PRAYER FOR PEACE

Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in our hearts of the people today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths toward the future.

From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against human life from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin; individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world the infinite saving power of merciful love.

May it put a stop to evil, may it put a stop to war. May it transform consciences, May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. Amen.


BEATITUDES

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when men reproached you, and persecute you, and speaking falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for My sake.

A PRAYER OF HOPE

Lord Jesus, You welcome into Your kingdom all those who do Your Father’s will and You reward with eternal life all who see You in the poor and lowly. We pray now for all our loved ones, family and friends, who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith: (pause here for silent reflection)

In your great mercy, be mindful of their good deeds and forgive them their offenses. Bring them safely home to heaven, together with your Mother Mary and all angels and saints

There we hope to rejoice one day together with them, for we hope in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. We firmly trust that you will come to judge the living and the dead and we believe that your kingdom will have no end. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE POPE

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd  Benedict XIV a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.

By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build your church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.


PRAYER TO SAINT JUDE

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and invokes you universally, as patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.

Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.

Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings particularly…..(pause here for requests)

May I praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

CHAPLET OF MERCY

Most compassionate God, Father of mercy and Lord of all consolation, who dost not wish the damnation of him who believes and trusts in Thee; look down upon us, we beseech Thee, according to the multitude of Thy mercies and increase Thy mercy, that even in the greatest trials of this life we may always faithfully comply Thy Will, which is mercy itself.

Through Thy Son and our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with Thee for ever and ever. Amen.

ST. MICHAEL ARCHANGEL

V. Lord, you have given your angels charge of us,
R. To keep us in all our ways.

St. Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle and protect us against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke Satan, we humbly pray and by God’s power may you, prince of the heavenly host, cast him into hell with all the evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

PRAYER FOR SOULS – told to St. Gertrude the Great

Eternal father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus Christ, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
