Prayer Before Confession

Receive my confession, O most loving and gracious Lord Jesus Christ, only hope for the salvation of my soul. Grant to me true contrition of soul, so that day and night I may by penance make satisfaction for my many sins. Savior of the world, O good Jesus, Who gave Yourself to the death of the Cross to save sinners, look upon me, most wretched of all sinners; have pity on me, and give me the light to know my sins, true sorrow for them, and a firm purpose of never committing them again.

O gracious Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, I implore you to obtain for me by your powerful intercession these graces from your Divine Son. St. Joseph, pray for me.  🙏🏻

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

(A traditional version)

or:

My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.

(from the Rite of Penance)

or:

Lord Jesus, Son of God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.

(from the Rite of Penance)

What We Believe

"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."

-the CCC, no. 198

Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith or credo called the Nicene Creed:

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen. 🙏🏻

 🇵🇭 Nicene Creed 

Sumasampalataya ako sa isang Diyos, Amang makapangyarihan sa lahat, na may gawa ng langit at lupa, ng lahat ng nakikita at di nakikita.

Sumasampalataya ako sa iisang Panginoong Hesukristo, Bugtong na Anak ng Diyos, sumilang sa Ama bago pa nagkapanahon. Diyos buhat sa Diyos, liwanag buhat sa liwanag, Diyos na totoo buhat sa Diyos na totoo. Sumilang at hindi ginawa, kaisa ng Ama sa pagka-Diyos: at sa pamamagitan niya ay ginawa ang lahat. Dahil sa ating pawang mga tao at dahil sa ating kaligtasan, Siya ay nanaog buhat sa kalangitan. (lahat ay yuyuko hanggang sa “naging tao”) Nagkatawang-tao Siya lalang ng Espiritu Santo kay Mariang Birhen at naging tao. Ipinako sa krus dahil sa atin, nagpakasakit sa hatol ni Poncio Pilato, namatay at inilibing. Muli siyang nabuhay sa ikatlong araw, ayon sa Banal na Kasulatan. Umakyat sa kalangitan: at lumuklok sa kanan ng Amang Maykapal. Paririto Siyang muli na may dakilang kapangyarihan upang hukuman ang mga buhay at mga patay.

Sumasampalataya ako sa Espiritu Santo, Panginoon at nagbibigay-buhay: na nanggagaling sa Ama at sa Anak: Sinasamba Siya at pinararangalan kaisa ng Ama at ng Anak: Nagsalita Siya sa pamamagitan ng mga Propeta.

Sumasampalataya ako sa iisang banal na Simbahang Katolika at Apostolika, gayundin sa isang binyag sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan. At hinihintay ko ang muling pagkabuhay ng nangamatay at ang buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.  🙏🏻

Our Father 

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy 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 those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer 📖 Reference Matthew 6

9 “This is how you are to pray:

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread;

12 and forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors;

13 and do not subject us to the final test,

but deliver us from the evil one.

14 If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion (Usually for Online Mass)

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen. 🙏🏻

Prayer of Padre Pio After Communion

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.

Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.

Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.

Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company.

Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.

Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!

Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You.

Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!

Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.

With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen 🙏🏼

A Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for 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.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary.

O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce thy sacred name, or even only think of thee. I thank God for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.

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 valley of tears 

Turn then, most gracious advocate,

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. 

The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55)

My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.

For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;

for he who is mighty has done great things for me,

and holy is his name.

And his mercy is on those who fear him

from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with his arm,

he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,

he has put down the mighty from their thrones,

and exalted those of low degree;

he has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent empty away.

He has helped his servant Israel,

in remembrance of his mercy,

as he spoke to our fathers,

to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary

This litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary was composed during the Middle Ages. The place of honor it now holds in the life of the Church is due to its faithful use at the shrine of the Holy House at Loreto. It was definitively approved by Pope Sixtus V in 1587, and all other Marian litanies were suppressed, at least for public use. Since then, several Popes have added titles to the Litany, as only they may do. 

The Litany's titles and invocations set before us Mary's exalted privileges, her holiness of life, her amiability and power, her motherly spirit and queenly majesty. The principle that has been followed in their interpretation is the one enunciated by Blessed Pius IX: 'God enriched her so wonderfully from the treasury of His divinity, far beyond all angels and saints with the abundance of all heavenly gifts, that she...should show forth such fullness of innocence and holiness, than which a greater under God is unthinkable and which, beside God, no one can even conceive in thought.'

Hence, whatever virtue and holiness is found in angels and saints must be present in Mary in an immeasurably higher degree.

Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer for Vocations

O Father, raise up among Christians
abundant and holy vocations to the priesthood,
who keep the faith alive
and guard the blessed memory of your Son Jesus
through the preaching of his word
and the administration of the Sacraments,
with which you continually renew your faithful.

Grant us holy ministers of your altar,
who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist,
the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ
for the redemption of the world.

Call ministers of your mercy,
who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation,
spread the joy of your forgiveness.

Grant, O Father, that the Church may welcome with joy
the numerous inspirations of the Spirit of your Son
and, docile to His teachings,
may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood
and to the consecrated life.

Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons,
consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ,
so that they may faithfully fulfill their mission
at the service of the Gospel.

This we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us.

Receive my confession, O most loving and gracious Lord Jesus Christ, only hope for the salvation of my soul. Grant to me true contrition of soul, so that day and night I may by penance make satisfaction for my many sins. Savior of the world, O good Jesus, Who gave Yourself to the death of the Cross to save sinners, look upon me, most wretched of all sinners; have pity on me, and give me the light to know my sins, true sorrow for them, and a firm purpose of never committing them again.

O gracious Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, I implore you to obtain for me by your powerful intercession these graces from your Divine Son. St. Joseph, pray for me.  🙏🏻

My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.

to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.

BEFORE YOU SAY THESE PRAYERS

Guidelines for Deliverance Prayers for the Laity:

 1) The prayers included in this section are for use by the Laity.

2) The prayers in this section are typically phrased to be used for praying over oneself.  All individuals have authority over their own selves and bodies and thus they are free to use both imprecatory prayers (directly commanding demons to leave) and deprecatory prayers (prayers directed to God to cast out the demons).

 3) In the case of praying these prayers for others who are not under their direct authority, we recommend the faithful adjust the prayers so that they are directed to God, thus making it a deprecatory prayer. For their own pastoral protection, we recommend that faithful not use imprecatory prayers, ie., directly commanding demons to leave, over others whom they do not have authority.

4) In accordance with natural law, the laity have authority over their own selves, their spouses and their children.  In these cases, they have the authority to use imprecatory prayers.

Exorcism Prayers

Perimeter Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, in thy love and mercy establish a perimeter of protection around N. and myself and all our loved ones, those who pray for us and their loved ones.  May the Holy Angels guard him/her/us and all our possessions, establishing a perimeter of protection around N., rendering him/her/us immune from any kind of demonic influence. I ask that no demonic bondage, door, demonic entity, portal, astral projection or disembodied spirit may enter the space of 100 yards in all directions of him/her/us. I ask that any demons within this vicinity or any that should try to enter here be rendered deaf, dumb, and blind; that Thou would strip them of all weapons, armor, power, illusions, and authority; that Thou would bind, rebuke and disable them from communicating or interacting with each other in any way. Remove them, sending them directly to the foot of Thy Cross. Jesus, Son of the Most High, I ask this in Thy Glorious and Most Holy Name. Amen.  (Ripperger, Laity, p. 39)

Prayer for Breaking Curses of the Occult

I ask Jesus to bind in the Most Precious Blood any and all evil curses, pacts, spells, seals, hexes, vexes, triggers, trances, vows, demonic blessings, voodoo, or any other demonic bondages sent against N. or myself, or any of our loved ones or any of our possessions; I ask Him to bind them all and break them in the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit. (Thrice)

​

Another Form

I ask Jesus to bind any evil spirits associated with any and all evil curses, pacts, spells, seals, hexes, vexes, triggers, trances, vows, demonic blessings, or any other demonic bondages sent against N. or myself, or any of our loved ones or any of our possessions, and I ask Thee to bind all evil spirits separately and individually and break all seals. In the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit. (Thrice) ​(Ripperger, Laity, p. 25-26.)

Prayer Against Retaliation

Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy, pour Your Precious Blood over us so that no demon or disembodied spirit may retaliate against us. Mary, surround us with your mantle, blocking any retaliating spirits from having any authority over us. St. Michael, surround us with your shield, so that no evil spirit may take revenge on us. Queen of Heaven and St. Michael, send down the legions of angels under your command to fight off any spirits that would seek to harm us. All you saints of heaven, impede any retaliating spirit from influencing us. Lord, You are the Just Judge, the avenger of the wicked, the Advocate of the Just, we beg in Your mercy, that all we ask of Mary, the angels and the saints of heaven be also granted to all our loved ones, all of our possessions, those who pray for us and their loved ones, that for Your Glory’s sake, we may enjoy Your perfect protection.  Amen. ​(adapted from Chadd, Laity, p. 37)

Prayer to Remove Generational Spirits

Lord Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son of God the Father, Thou who has chosen to enter into human history by being carried in the womb of Thy Blessed Mother Mary, grant I beseech Thee, that any demons that may have been introduced into my generational line by any one of my ancestors may be blocked from passing to the subsequent generations. I ask Thee that if the evil spirit entered the generational line by the sin of one or more of my ancestors, that Thou wouldst pardon them temporal punishment due to their sin and free us from the demon’s involvement in our lives. Blessed Virgin, we ask thee to offer the Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of thy Son to God the Father in reparation for the sins of those ancestors who may have introduced any evil spirits into my generational line, as well as any subsequent sins that may have resulted from the evil spirits affecting those of the generational line. If any evil spirit has been introduced into my generational line as a result of a curse or malefice done by someone outside my family, I ask thee to give me the grace to forgive them wholeheartedly and I ask Thee, Jesus to break the curse or malefice, if it is still in place. God the Father, I forgive them for any of the effects of their sin that they may have committed against my family line and for any damage it may have caused. Jesus, I ask Thee to forgive me of any sins that may be the result of any generational spirits in my family and I ask Thee to block any power the evil spirits may have gained in my generational line as a result of my own sin. Heal any damage in the lives of the members of my family as a result of the generational spirit. I bind and completely and utterly reject, with the full force of my will any sin or spiritual defect of mine as well as any temptation, allurements or power that any generational spirit may have over me as a result of my sin or the sin of any other person. I do this in the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary and in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. (Ripperger, Laity, 25-26)

Renewal of Baptismal Promises

This version is from the Roman Missal, 3rd Edition from 2011.

DIRECTIONS

Dear brethren, through the Paschal Mystery
we have been buried with Christ in Baptism,
that we may walk with him in newness of life.
And so, let us renew the promises of Holy Baptism,
which we once renounced Satan and his works
and promised to serve God in the holy Catholic Church.
And so I ask you:

V. Do you renounce Satan?
R. I do.

V. And all his works?
R. I do.

V. And all his empty show?
R. I do.

OR:

V. Do you renounce sin,
so as to live in the freedom of the children of God?
R. I do.

V. Do you renounce the lure of evil,
so that sin may have no mastery over you?
R. I do.

V. Do you renounce Satan,
the author and prince of sin?
R. I do.

V. Do you believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth?
R. I do.

V. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered death and was buried,
rose again from the dead
and is seated at the right hand of the Father?
R. I do.

V. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting?
R. I do.

V. And may almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has given us new birth by water and the Holy Spirit
and bestowed on us forgiveness of our sins,
keep us by his grace,
in Christ Jesus our Lord,
for eternal life.
R. Amen.

All are sprinkled with holy water.

Welcome to the Catholic Church! I’m glad you’re interested in coming back. The process of returning to the Catholic Church is called “reconciliation”. Here are some steps that can help you with the process:

1. Go to Confession: Confession is a sacrament where you confess your sins to a priest, who then absolves you of your sins. This is an important step in the reconciliation process 12.

2. Attend Mass: Attending Mass is an essential part of being a Catholic. It is where we come together as a community to worship and receive the Eucharist 13.

3. Talk to a priest: If you have any questions or concerns about returning to the Catholic Church, it’s a good idea to talk to a priest. They can help guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have 12.

It’s important to remember that the Catholic Church welcomes everyone with open arms, regardless of their past. I hope this helps you with the reconciliation process. Let me know if you have any other questions!

 🙏🏻 St. Francis of Assis

St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Church, had several experiences with the devil. One such experience is recounted in “The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi” 1. Brother Ruffino, a companion of St. Francis, was violently tempted by the devil on the subject of predestination, so much so that he grew melancholy and sorrowful. The devil put it into his heart that he was damned and not predestined to eternal life. The devil even appeared to Brother Ruffino under the form of a crucifix, telling him that all the good he did was of no avail 1. St. Francis, upon learning of Brother Ruffino’s temptations, showed him that the devil was deceiving him and that he was not damned 1.

Another instance of St. Francis’s experience with the devil is recounted in “A Suffering Saint” 2. Celano, a biographer of St. Francis, recounts a prolonged spiritual depression that occurred later in Francis’s life. At one time, a very serious temptation of spirit came upon the holy father, surely to embellish his crown. Because of it, he was filled with anguish and sorrow; he afflicted and chastised his body, he prayed and wept bitterly 2.

🙏🏻 St. Benedict of Nursia 

St. Benedict of Nursia was born in 480 CE in Nursia, a small town near Spoleto, Italy. He is considered the father of Western monasticism and the founder of the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino1. He is also known for his Rule, which became the norm for monastic living throughout Europe1.

According to Gregory the Great, Benedict began to perform miracles, causing him to attract followers2. He is considered the patron saint of schoolchildren, teachers, miners, blacksmiths, and the dying, and is called to help in painful illnesses3.

St. Benedict passed away on March 21, 547 CE in the Monastery of Monte Casino, at the age of 633.

St. Benedict of Nursia is known for his resistance to temptation. According to Catholic Online1, one day, while living in a cave above a lake as a hermit, the Devil presented Benedict’s imagination with a beautiful, tempting woman. Benedict resisted by rolling his body into a thorn bush until it was covered in scrapes. It is said that through these body wounds, he cured the wounds of his soul.

🙏🏻 St. Augustine of Hippo

St. Augustine of Hippo was born on November 13, 354 CE in Tagaste, Numidia (now Souk Ahras, Algeria) 1. He was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman North Africa 1.

Augustine was highly influenced by Archbishop Ambrose and began to learn and write extensively about Christianity. In 391, he visited the city of Hippo Regius to start a monastery, but he ended up being drafted into the priesthood by a Christian congregation there. In 395, he became the bishop of Hippo and spent the next 35 years preaching, celebrating mass, resolving local disputes, and ministering to his congregation 23.

Augustine’s writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Western Christianity, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period 1. His many important works include The City of God, On Christian Doctrine, and Confessions 1. According to his contemporary, Jerome, Augustine “established anew the ancient Faith” 1.

Augustine is recognized as a saint in the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran Churches, and the Anglican Communion. He is also a preeminent Catholic Doctor of the Church and the patron of the Augustinians. His memorial is celebrated on August 28, the day of his death 1.
