INTRODUCTION.

ILLATIANO:
Salve. Benedizioni a tutti voi, figli del Signore DIO. . .

COMMON:
Greetings and Blessings unto all the children of the Lord GOD. . .

–

Salve, children of Illatia. In this writing one must be certain of my complete understanding of the hard working Illatian kin within this realm, knowing there is much love and respect is held for those peoples. But, this book of prayers is to pull your focus from the bustling times of the Holy Imperium for a moment to pause. . . To breathe and turn your hearts towards the Heavenly skies in which DIO resides, used before your day begins or before you settle for the evening. The prayers I have written might feel simple to recite, but are meant to be pondered, lived on, guiding you through your daily tasks in the honor and path of DIO. May those Illatians from Alba- all the way to the Island we once called home use this book to inspire the praise of DIO in daily life.

This prayer book will have two volumes published in two years. The first will speak on surrender, authority, and inner struggle of the faithful. Whilst we turn to volume two for those who seek guidance, compassion and the faith amongst the living. We pray that DIO blesses the faithful tribe of Illatia. Amen.

II. A Hymn for the Holy Pontiff

COMMON HYMN:
Long live the Pontiff who’s crowned by God,

Whose commands are held true;

A Holy Ser, whose throne is pure,

God’s glory shall endure. 

-

The Holy shepherd of the flock,

And keeper of the holy flame;

Through shadowed times, and holy wars,

How blessed is his name. 

-

No tyrant, or creature lacking virtue, 

Shall compare to this Holy man;

Then raise the chant, with heart and voice,

In church and school and home:

Long Live the Highest Shepherd of our Flock,

Long live, long live our Holy Pontiff!

INNO IN ILLATIANO:
 

Spoiler

Lunga vita al Pontefice incoronato da Dio,

I cui comandi sono considerati veri;

Un Santo Signore, il cui trono è puro,

La gloria di Dio perdurerà.

-

Il Santo Pastore del gregge,

E custode della sacra fiamma;

Attraverso tempi bui e guerre sante,

Quanto è benedetto il suo nome.

-

Nessun tiranno, né creatura priva di virtù,

potrà mai eguagliare questo Santo uomo;

Allora intonate il canto, con il cuore e la voce,

In chiesa, a scuola e a casa:

Lunga vita al Pastore Supremo del nostro gregge,

Lunga vita, lunga vita al nostro Santo Pontefice!

III. A Plea for Mercy from a Heart Stripped Bare

COMMON PRAYER:
O Lord Dio, it breaks my heart to come before you filled with sin. I fear I have worked against the Holy Virtues you have set before mankind. Those words you enlightened your Exalted prophets with have been absent in both my mind and heart. I pray for forgiveness from you, as I lay my sin to your judgment I plea for your mercy. I ask you to guide your ordained priest in my redemption, and return to the cleanliness you had hoped for all your children.  In your Holy name, Amen.

PREGHIERA IN ILLATIANO:

Spoiler

O Signore Dio, mi spezza il cuore presentarmi davanti a te pieno di peccato. Temo di aver agito contro le Sante Virtù che hai posto davanti all’umanità. Quelle parole con cui hai illuminato i tuoi Esaltati profeti sono state assenti sia dalla mia mente che dal mio cuore. Ti chiedo perdono, mentre sottopongo il mio peccato al tuo giudizio imploro la tua misericordia. Ti chiedo di guidare il tuo sacerdote consacrato nella mia redenzione, e di riportarmi alla purezza che avevi sperato per tutti i tuoi figli. Nel tuo Santo nome, Amen.

IV. A Prayer for the Powers that Govern You

COMMON PRAYER:
O Lord Dio, throned above all creation, we lift up these praises to your name. We ask you to install fortitude in those men and women who rule the lands of the world in your stead. We pray you limit them and remind them of humility and all the virtues of your Holy Scrolls. In these times of darkness, protect us all from pride and allow us not to be tempted down a sinful path. We pray you enlighten all stewards and keepers of each city who might support the faithful in governance, we ask that they find it in their hearts to find you and follow your teachings. Amen.

PREGHIERA IN ILLATIANO:

Spoiler

O Signore Dio, che regni su tutto il creato, eleviamo queste lodi al tuo nome. Ti chiediamo di infondere forza d’animo in quegli uomini e quelle donne che governano le terre del mondo in tuo nome. Ti preghiamo di guidarli e di ricordare loro l’umiltà e tutte le virtù delle tue Sacre Scritture. In questi tempi di tenebre, proteggici tutti dall’orgoglio e fa’ che non siamo tentati di imboccare una via peccaminosa. Ti preghiamo di illuminare tutti gli amministratori e i custodi di ogni città che potrebbero sostenere i fedeli nel governo; ti chiediamo che trovino nel loro cuore la forza di cercarti e di seguire i tuoi insegnamenti. Amen.

COMMON PRAYER:
Lord Dio, send Saint Julia to bring harmony within our lands, and keep the unions of matrimony joyful and honorable in Your sight.
O holy mother and faithful wife of Exalted Horen, bind us in virtue and guide us to the Word of Dio. We pray you shield our spouses and children, granting them lengthy days, true bliss, and purity of mind, body, and spirit.
Pray for us, O blessed Julia, that we may rise against all darkness which seeks to enter our home, rejecting all corruption from all things in our lives. Amen.

PREGHIERA IN ILLATIANO:

Signore Dio, manda Santa Giulia a portare armonia nelle nostre terre e mantieni le unioni matrimoniali gioiose e onorevoli ai Tuoi occhi.
O santa madre e fedele moglie dell'Esaltato Horen, uniscici nella virtù e guidaci alla Parola di Dio. Ti preghiamo di proteggere i nostri coniugi e i nostri figli, concedendo loro lunghi giorni, vera beatitudine e purezza di mente, corpo e spirito.

VII. A Prayer for Peace When the Heart is at War with Itself

COMMON PRAYER:
My Lord, Dio the most high - I come before you in this time of unrest and want. Where I am lost, and without you, you call me to return. For I am a sheep of your great flock, one who seeks to be tamed by the Holy Shepherd, our Dio. In this corrupted state, I ask you to cleanse me and place me within the righteous graces of your theater of virtue. O Dio, I ask you to restore all faith and rid me of that which would halt me from loving you wholeheartedly. Amen.

PREGHIERA IN ILLATIANO:

Spoiler

Signore, Dio Altissimo, mi presento davanti a te in questo momento di tumulto e di bisogno. Laddove mi sono smarrito e sono senza di te, tu mi chiami a tornare. Poiché sono una pecora del tuo grande gregge, una che cerca di essere guidata dal Santo Pastore, il nostro Dio. In questo stato di corruzione, ti chiedo di purificarmi e di accogliermi nelle grazie giuste del tuo teatro di virtù. O Dio, ti chiedo di restituirmi tutta la fede e di liberarmi da ciò che mi impedisce di amarti con tutto il cuore. Amen.

VIII. A final Surrender into the Hands of DIO

COMMON PRAYER:
Guardian of the departed, who is blessed by the Lord DIO, who calls His children from this life onto the life in the Seven Skies.
O Saint Godwin, I ask you to receive me in my passing. I shall have no fear or unrest due to the faults of Iblees, for the Lord DIO is with me in all things—even in this final moment. I place myself before the Almighty’s throne.

PREGHIERA IN ILLATIANO:

Spoiler

Custode dei defunti, benedetto dal Signore DIO, che chiama i Suoi figli da questa vita alla vita nei Sette Cieli.
O San Godwin, ti chiedo di accogliermi al momento della mia dipartita. Non proverò né paura né inquietudine a causa delle insidie di Iblees, poiché il Signore DIO è con me in ogni cosa, anche in questo momento finale. Mi presento davanti al trono dell’Onnipotente.

IX. Reflection for the Soul

DIO reminds us that we were given duties so that we may take part in His creation. How can we approach even the smallest or most difficult tasks in our lives as an offering to the Lord?

Faithful figli di DIO: every task, no matter its level, is the perfect opportunity to serve the Lord and walk in the virtue set by DIO. From my readings and studies, I can only say that our Lord DIO seeks us to be diligent in our faith in Him, so that when He smiles upon the individual, that individual will then go and smile upon the entire tribe of their people. May the heavens sing and rejoice as we follow in a true path of virtue, being examples of charity of the spirit.

In many cases, He tells us to offer labor to Him, and as humanity is never rid of sin, some will reject the notion of Labor to DIO and the church due to the confusion in the idleness. The bold will announce the lack of desire to be members of the cloth or take what they consider “extreme” measures in devotion to the Lord DIO- this is the failure of forgetting simplicity in the Word and the Lord DIO. I say with that: your speech and your heart work as the closest tools to render yourself in the presence of DIO. Finding it within to lift your voice in praise. . . For DIO is surely praiseworthy, yes? You should find joy in taking part in DIO’s virtues and living by the Word, find comfort in your speech of prayer to Him. 

I say to the wealthy and poor, when you sweep the floor, or tend the less fortunate, when you find yourself leaning into laziness against your family- in all things these teachings of the Lord say free yourself from reluctance of duty and have a willing mind, saying within thyself, ‘Lord, this I do for You.’ And though the work be small or lowly, it is made precious by the love you hold for the Lord DIO.

So I say to you, being educated in the scrolls and the life’s devotion to DIO. Remember that we are to attend to purity in the eyes of DIO akin to the need for water. Remember to be active in your communities and take part in the ongoing activities of your local diocese, and shed your thoughts to be constantly aligned with the Word He has sent forth for you to learn. In your prayers, you speak to DIO and lay forth all things to Him in full surrender. May it move you to those local priests, who guide you in the diligence of their own faith to the flock and to DIO, offering the purifying sacraments and insight of the Word to bring you closer to a life filled with the joys of DIO.

Dear faithful, figli di DIO- Seek our Lord DIO in everything.

Lothaire Cardinal Montcollier gives this publication his stamp of approval!

 

 

"Well done, Reverend Sister," he hums, "this is a wonderful beginning to your work as Vicar!” He finishes the approval process and places the stamp back into its inken pillow.

[MonteGiant 891]

There upon the roads to those southern lands of the Imperium, that Golden Banner of Lorraine flying upon those mounts, but on those roads did a youth holding of the banner of the black sun trot about upon his steed. Within his hands laid a rosary that make that same motion beholden to his liege lord, "Amen." did he utter upon the completion of this prayer within the Illatian Tongue, a newfound interest after a certain someone. . .
