A Book of Prayers to Saints


Recommended Posts

BROTHERS and SISTERS in FAITH, I have noticed the lack of common, proscribed prayers to many Saints. Therefore, I have written some and compiled them here, for common use. Your Brother in Charity,

 

Father Humbert, O.S.J.

(Ecce quam bonum, habitare fratres in unum!)

Prayer of Monks to Saint Jude:

 

HOLY Father, our patron and defender, look down from the loftiness of Heaven to this calamitous sea, blessing and visiting this vineyard of thine that we have maintained, according to the example of thy works and virtues. Steer this little ship of thine, so that thou who art placed on high, may keep us off all the rocks of evil desires, that with thee for our pilot and our guide, we may safely come to the port of eternal bliss. Amen.

 

Prayer Before Confession

 

HOLY Father, I come before the Confessional in order to receive that forgiveness which thou didst embody in thine own life. Pray for me, that I may make a good and honest Confession. Help me resolve to rebuke that which is sinful, and love with perfect Charity both God and my neighbour. Amen.

 

Prayer Before Writing

 

Saint Jude, whose workings were inspired and protected by the miraculous work of God, pray also for my own inspiration. May the fear of God, the beginning of wisdom, and perfect love of Him above all things, inspire every word which I am about to write.

HIS HOLINESS DANIEL VI, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Keeper of Varoche, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of God doth impart the Apostolic imprimatur and blessing upon this good work.

 



That the faithful, in imploring the prayers of the saints, should cling to their virtues; this is the intention of Our veneration. In many ways, the veneration of the saints has gone without proper care by our negligence, and so too have men fallen away from their Mother, the Blessed Church. We thus heartily commend Fr. Humbert for his due diligence in compiling this good and holy work, and promulgate it for spiritual reading by the faithful; let it be printed.

 

DANIEL VI

Having noticed a want to discern vocation among parishioners, these prayers are additionally proscribed.

Your humble servant,

-Father Humbert, O.S.J.

ADDITION: PRAYERS FOR VOCATION

 

CALL TO THE SISTERHOOD

 

Saint Catherine:

 

Saint Catherine, I entrust my discernment to thee. Those Sisters of old, animated by thy spirit, did rush forth to many an extraordinary act of piety and charity. I want to know, too, if I might be counted among thy daughters. Please pray for me, that I may know if I might be a mother to orphans, a sister to penitents and a servant to my neighbour. O, most kind and gentle comforter of the afflicted, do but give me the call, and I will fly to do God’s work.

 

Saint Julia:

 

Adorable and wise Saint on high, the towering noises, occasions of sin and near-infinite distractions of this world are too much for me. Am I, then, called to prayer and contemplation? Answer thou me, and I will do whatever He tells me through thee.

 

CALL TO THE PRIESTHOOD

 

Saint Kristoff: 

 

Greatest of Confessors, most just of Bishops and most faithful of priests, I kneel before thee in hope that I might better know the will of God. I am unsure of myself. I know that the call of the priesthood is not an easy one, as thy own martyrdom and hardships attest, but I am prepared to follow it if it is God’s will, for I desire, with the fullness of my heart, nothing less.

 

Pope Saint Daniel: 

 

O, mighty and wise ruler of God’s Church, tell me how best to serve. Am I called to administer Confession, Baptism, Matrimony and Blessing? Are these to be the fourfold tenants and purposes of my life? I love and admire all these most Holy Sacraments of God with all my heart – and if given the call, I will serve all in offering them.

 

Call to be a Monk

 

Saint Jude: 

 

Saint Jude, thine own writings reveal thyself to be perfectly content with how thou lived thy life, and I seek that same contentment. Am I to find it by becoming thy son, by virtue of my Brotherhood to monks? I am ready to mortify myself and accept whatever God doth will with a contrite heart, if only thou wilt help me to find out whatsoever he wills.
