PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS DAY


Jesus my God,

For love of me,
You were born of the Virgin Mary,
And became a child like me.

You wanted to work and suffer,
And even to die on the Cross,
To show Your love for me
And to save my soul.

When I look into the crib,
I ask You, May and Joseph
To bless my family

When I see the beautiful Christmas tree,
With lights and ornaments
I think of how beautiful my soul should be
In the grace of God
And that I will life forever.

When I see the toys I received,
I think of the many wonderful things
You have done for me.

Prayer Before Easter Sunday


Jesus, You are the Son of God,

And You rose from the dead on Easter Sunday.

You saved us from sin and devil,
Brought us joy and peace,
And gave us new life and hope.

All the things God the Father
made on earth are beautiful:
the sun and sky, fields and meadows,
flowers and trees, birds and animals.

He made them all for His glory
And to make us happy.
But He did not make us for this world;
He made us for heaven.

I am a child of God.
You gave me Your own life of grace
In Baptism
My soul is more beautiful in Your eyes
Than the whole world.

Help me to praise the father
By being his loving child
And by loving You as my Brother.

Prayer Before Mass and Communion


Jesus my Lord,
You give Yourself to me
As Food in Holy Communion.
You offer Yourself for me
In every Holy Mass
As You did upon the Cross.

I adore You as my God
In the Sacrament of the Altar
Where Your Heart is all on fire
With deepest love for me.

Prayer Before Confession

Jesus, my Lord and my God
I am sorry for all my sins
Because they have offended You.

You died on the cross
Because of my sins.
I want to try hard
To keep away from sin,
So that I may always be Your friend
And show You that I really love You.

Prayer When Waking Up in the Morning


O my God
I offer You
Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary
All my thoughts, words and actions and sufferings
On this day.

I offer them
To please You, to honor You,
And to make up for my sins.

Sweet Mother Mary, Keep me in your care.
