Prayer for Enlightenment

O Holy Ghost, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to Thee my understanding, my heart and my will, my whole being for time and for eternity. May my understanding be always obedient to Thy heavenly inspirations and the teachings of the holy Catholic Church, of which Thou art the infallible Guide; may my heart be ever inflamed with love of God and of my neighbor; may my will be ever conformed to the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful following of the life and virtues of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and Thee be honor and glory for ever.

Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Prayer of Saint Irenaeus

Father,

give perfection to beginners,

understanding to the little ones,

and help to those who are running their course.

Give sorrow to the negligent,

fervor to the lukewarm,

and a good consummation to the perfect.

Amen

St Irenaeus of Lyons, Bishop, Defender of the Faith and Martyr

Prayer for Selflessness

O Dearly beloved Word of God, teach me to be generous, to serve Thee as Thou dost deserve, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fretting at my wounds, to labor without seeking rest, to spend myself without looking for any reward other than that of knowing that I do Thy holy will.

Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL
