Angel de la Guarda - Del Puente

(Guardian Angel) - Spanish Prayer

Angel de mi guarda oh mi dulce compania no me desampares ni de noche ni de dia hasta que me entregues en los brazos de Jesus y de Maria. Con tus alas me persigno y me abrazo de la Cruz y en mi corazon me llevo al dulcisimo Jesus. Amen.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep. See me safely through the night and wake me with the morning light. Amen.

The St. John's church has these wonderful wall paintings of angels. I have taken pictures of them every time I have visited the church. I finally got a keeper with this visit.

Prayer Before A Crucifix

Prayer before a Crucifix

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus
while before Your face I humbly kneel and,
with burning soul,
pray and beseech You
to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments
of faith, hope, and charity;
true contrition for my sins,
and a firm purpose of amendment.

While I contemplate,
with great love and tender pity,
Your five most precious wounds,
pondering over them within me
and calling to mind the words which David,
Your prophet, said to You, my Jesus:

"They have pierced My hands and My feet,
they have numbered all My bones."

Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that,

as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain,

so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You.

Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,

who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, world without end.

Amen.

A Prayer Before The Relics

Oh, Saints of God, in faith and confidence I turn my prayers to you. I am told that these relics are portions of your earthly remains. These relics call to mind your lives of virtue, your lives dedicated to the love of Christ and of His holy Gospel.

I ask your prayers on this, my pilgrimage. I pray that you may join as one great choir asking our loving Father to assist me in my life, to help me find the path to holiness, to a life filled with virtue and love.

All you holy children of the Father, who are a great strength to the Church, bless me with your prayers. I give praise to our Father for your lives of faith and courage, for your love and devotion. I offer thanksgiving for your example to the world and your prayers for me.

Amen.

Prayer and pictures from the Shrine of the Holy Relics.

Special thanks goes out to Sr. Regina for the tour and opening up the Relic Chapel and letting me have a chance to see the Relic Chapel in all its glory.

A Healing Prayer

At Cana, the Mother of Jesus said to the servers,

"Do whatever he tells you." John 2:5

Jesus, heal our live,

our broken spirits,

our hearts and minds,

our body and soul.

Jesus hear our prayer;

You know our weakness,

our struggle and pain,

for You too have suffered.

Jesus Listen in love

as you once did at Cana

to your Mother Mary,

and respond in mercy.

Amen

 I just loved the way the portrait was illuminated by the candle light. The prayer comes from a prayer card with a picture of the same portrait on front that I found lying on the table the candle was sitting on.
