Ancient daily devotions you must know

ANCIENT PRAYERS

In the name of the Father who created me, in the name of the Son who redeemed me, in the name of the Holy Spirit who sanctified me. Amen.

Just got up

Deign, Lord, to guard me on this day without sinning

Before praying

Open my Lord my mouth to bless your holy name.

Purify my heart of all vain, bad and troublesome thoughts. Illuminate the intellect, inflame my soul so that it can pray worthily, attentively and devoutly and deserve to be answered in the presence of your majesty.

For Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Before any action

All for you, my God, immense love, what I do, say, suffer and think. With every breath of mine I intend, O my Lord, to give you my soul and consecrate your heart, so that your holy love may always grow in me.

When the bells ring

Bless us or Lord in soul and body in time and eternity.

Bless my home and everyone who lives there. Give us your holy blessing

to accompany us in life and defend us in death.

Entering the Church

I go, O my God, into your holy house! In your holy temple I adore you! I want to meet you or my Lord to hear your words

that illuminate my heart.

To the elevation of the Host and the Chalice

  Mio Signore e mio Dio Adoro in quell'Ostia Consacrata

your Crucified Body for me on the cross.

My Lord and my God

I adore in that chalice your Precious Blood scattered for me on the cross.

He brings that blood down on my soul, on the poor sinners and on the holy souls of Purgatory.

Before the Eucharistic Communion

 Vieni, Gesù mio vieni nel cuor mio vieni infiammalo d'amore! Ch'io viva sol per te.

After the Eucharistic Communion

Soul of Christ, sanctify me, Body of Christ save me. Blood of Christ inebriate me, water of the side of Christ wash me. Passion of Christ comfort me, good Jesus hear me. Within your wounds hide me, do not allow me to separate you from you. Defend me from the evil enemy, at the hour of my death call me. And let me come to you, to praise you with angels and saints for ever and ever. Amen!

Leaving church

I start from you, Jesus I start from this altar

come Jesus with me, just don't leave me.

Help me to forgive only for love of you.

Just don't leave me, Jesus remains with me.

I am leaving, O my God, but I leave you my heart to adore you and thank you

until I come to see you again.

During the day

  Cuor di Gesù tu sai, cuor di Gesù tu puoi, cuor di Gesù tu vedi, cuor di Gesù prowedi, cuor di Gesù pensaci tu!

Before sleep

Jesus, Joseph, Mary

I give you my heart and soul.

Jesus, Joseph, Mary

assist me in my last agony.

Jesus, Joseph, Mary, breathe my soul in peace with you.

Jesus, Joseph, Mary, let my last food be the Most Holy Eucharist.

Deign, Lord, to guard me on this night without sinning.

Divine Providence of God, you provide for our needs.

In the beautiful heart of Jesus who redeemed me, in peace and rest I fall asleep. And if dreaming of me, let me dream of Heaven and God.

To the Madonna

Dear sweet mother, listen to those who call you, save Mary who loves you who trusts in you so much.

O Mary, our help, our comfort, our hope, our refuge, our consolation, give us, we pray, your holy and maternal blessing.

For the Dead

Holy souls, purging souls

pray to God for us that we will pray for you to grant you soon the glory of Heaven

Always say

O Lord Jesus, or live to love you,

or die to no longer offend you.
