Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that You are the one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your divine Son became man, died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Act of Love
O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You. I forgive all who have injured me, and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Simple Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God, My Guardian Dear, to whom God's love entrusts me here. Ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.
Prayer for the Pope
Oh God source of all knowledge and goodness, look with favor upon your servant, whom you have chosen to shepard your Church here on earth. Give him wisdom and courage, strength and health, compassion and knowledge. Keep him close to you as he guides the flock You have entrusted to him. Grant him by his word and example to be a faithful and holy leader and keep him in your care now and all the days of his life. Amen.
Prayer for Fatherhood
Heavenly Father, you have fashioned us all in Your image and likeness, and call each one of us by a particular call to a more intimate communion with You. Your particular vocation for me is to reach You, Father, by being a father myself. Grant me the graces first to realize in all the details of my life that I am called to image You in this way. And preserve me next from actions and words that might cause my children to think less of their Heavenly Father because of the errors of their earthly one. I ask all this through the intercession of St. Joseph, patron of all fathers. Amen.
Prayer for Rain
Heavenly Father, we believe that it is You who created our world with all of its beauty and life. We believe that it is You who put into place the systems of nature that sustain, nurture and renew this work of Your hands. We believe that it is You who hears Your children when they call upon You.
Hear then, this prayer which comes from a heart filled with confidence and trust. Grant to us and to all who seek it, the gift of a bountiful rain. Water our lands so that they may once again spring to life and reflect the beauty of Your creation. Fill our lakes and rivers with sufficient rain so that they may continue to provide life giving and refreshing water to all who depend upon it for their livelihood and well being.
Do not let many more days pass without sending us this most needed blessing so that we, Your people, can once again praise You for all that You do for us. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God forever. Amen.
