The
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third
day He arose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the
right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to
judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

from evil. Amen.

Anima
Christi
Soul
of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the wicked enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to Thee.
That with Thy Saints I may praise Thee
Forever and ever. Amen

The
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 shall 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. Amen

Prayer
to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill
my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with
Your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my
state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just. Let
my charity be such as to offend no one, and hurt no one's feelings; so
generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me. Assist me, O
Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance,
advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my
needs, protect me in temptations and console me in afflictions.
Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into my heart, my
soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in
goodness and grace. Amen.

Act
of Contrition
O my
God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins
because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of
all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of
all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess
my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

Prayer
to Saint Jude (Intercession)
(To be said when problems arise or when one seems to be deprived of
all visible help, or for cases almost despaired of.)
Most
holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name
of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of his
enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors
and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless causes, of things
almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may
receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations, and sufferings, particularly add your own request here
and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise,
O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always
honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage
devotion to you.
Amen.

Prayer
of Saint Francis
Lord,
make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow
love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there
is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to
be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be
loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in
pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to
eternal life.

Life
Teen Prayer
Jesus,
the Bread of Life, taken, blessed, broken and given away so that all
might be healed and have LIFE. Father,
TAKE the lives of our teens. We offer them to You with open hands.
Through the example of Jesus, teach them to surrender their lives fully
to You. BLESS them with the knowledge that they are Your beloved ones
and that they truly belong to a community of love and mercy. BREAK open
their hearts so that the seed of the Word and the power of the Eucharist
can be planted in fertile ground, take root and transform their lives.
GIVE these teens to the world with the power of the Holy Spirit to
witness to the love of Jesus and serve Him in each person they meet.
Let this LIFE TEEN
ministry be bread for the world. As Christ gave You thanks and fed many,
may we give You thanks for this ministry and ask You to
"multiply" it and nurture its growth for Your glory. Amen.

You shall love the Lord your God with your whole
heart, and with your
whole soul, and all your mind. This is the greatest and the first
commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.
