MORNING PRAYERS
As soon as you awake, think of God. Make the Sign of the Cross and say:
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Then dress quickly and kneel down. Now say the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Apostles’ Creed, the Confiteor and the Acts of Faith, Hope, Love and Contrition which you have probably memorized. If you do not know them by heart you will find them on pages 2-4.
Then if you have time also say the following prayers:
To the blessed Virgin.
My Lady, and my Mother, remember I am thine; protect
and defend me as
thy property and possession.
To saint Joseph.
Saint Joseph, model and patron of those who love the
Sacred Heart of
Jesus, pray for us.
To the guardian Angel.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
God bless Papa and Mamma. God bless Brothers and Sisters, and all my friends. God bless me, and make me a good child.
For the faithful departed.
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord. And let
perpetual light shine upon
them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
