Prayer of Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Prayer for Martyrdom of Saint of Ignatius of Antioch

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.... I long after the Lord, the Son of the true God and Father, Jesus Christ. Him I seek, who died for us and rose again.... I am eager to die for the sake of Christ. My love has been crucified, and there is no fire in me that loves anything. But there is living water springing up in me, and it says to me inwardly: Come to the Father.

Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr

Prayer of Saint Bernadette

Prayer of Saint Bernadette

"Let the crucifix be not only in my eyes and on my breast, but in my heart.O Jesus! Release all my affections and draw them upwards. Let my crucified heart sink forever into Thine and bury itself in the mysterious wound made by the entry of the lance."

Prayer to St. Bernadette

O Saint Bernadette, who, as a meek and pure child, did eighteen times at Lourdes contemplate the beauty of the Immaculate Mother of God and received her messages, and who afterwards wished to hide yourself from the world in the convent of Nevers, and to offer thyself there as a victim for the conversion of sinners, obtain for us the grace of purity, simplicity and mortification that we also may attain to the vision of God and of Mary in Heaven. Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Prayer to Saint Teresa of the Andes

Prayer to St Teresa of the Andes

St Teresa of the Andes, under Mary's care, you became a young woman in love with Jesus Christ. You are a model of holiness and a way of perfection for the Church.
You knew how to laugh, to love, to play and to serve. You were mighty in accepting sorrows and generous in your love.

You knew how to contemplate God in the simple things of life.

Show us the Father's love so that we might live joyfully in friendship and with gentleness in our family.

Help those who are weak and sad so that the Holy Spirit may awaken hope in them.

Intercede for us - and for the world - pleading for love and peace.

St Teresa of Los Andes, beloved daughter of the Church, religious sister of Carmel, friend of young and old, and servant of the poor, pray for us each day. Amen.

Prayer to Jesus

Lord Jesus, you chose St Teresa of Los Andes to show us the joy of knowing and loving you. She left us a message of love, self-sacrifice and humility. She now continues from heaven the work begun on earth, of interceding for family unity, for priestly and religious vocations, for those who are in sorrow and need, and for the conversion of inactive and lukewarm Catholics.
Lord, we thank you for St Teresa of Los Andes.

May she who proclaimed God is infinite joy be a model for young and old, and strengthen us in faith, hope and love. May she help to restore to the family of the faith those who have lost their way, especially those for whom we now pray.... Amen
