praaprayer Before the Blessed sacrament
O sacred banquet, in which Christ is received, the memory of his
Passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of
future glory is given to us.
prayer Before any Work
Direct, we beseech thee, O Lord, all our actions by thy holy
inspiration, carry them on by thy gracious assistance, that every
word and work of ours may always begin from thee and by thee be
happily ended. Amen.
prayer to one’s guardian angel
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom his love entrusts me
here, enlighten and guard, rule and guide me. Amen.
prayer after holy communion
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 malicious 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
for ever and ever.
First General Grant
A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who, in the performance of their duties
and in bearing the trials of life, raise their mind with humble confidence to God, adding
even if only mentally -- some pious invocation.
This first grant is intended to serve as an incentive to the faithful to put into practice the
commandment of Christ that "they must always pray and not lose heart"
4
and at the same
time as a reminder so to perform their respective duties as to preserve and strengthen their
union with Christ.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it
shall be opened.

Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.

of this life.... Watch, then, praying at all times.

communion of the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.

II Vatican Council, Dogmatic Const. on the Church, n. 41: Finally, all Christ's faithful,whatever be the conditions, duties and circumstances of their lives -- and indeed through allthese -- will daily increase in holiness, if they receive all things with faith from the hand oftheir heavenly Father and if they cooperate with the divine will. In this temporal service, theywill manifest to all men the love with which God loved the world.
Second General Grant
A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who in a spirit of faith and mercy give of
themselves or of their goods to serve their brothers in need.
This second grant is intended to serve as an incentive to the faithful to perform more frequent
acts of charity and mercy, thus following the example and obeying the command of Christ
Jesus.
6
However, not all works of charity are thus indulgenced, but only those which "serve their
brothers in need," in need, for example, of food or clothing for the body or of instruction or
comfort for the soul.
Mt 25, 35-36. 40:
For I was hungry and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me to
drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; naked and you covered me; sick and you visited
me; I was in prison and you came to me.... Amen I say to you, as long as you did it for one of
these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me.

A new commandment I give you, that you love one another: that as I have
loved you, you also love one another. By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if
you have love for one another
Rom 12, 8. 10-11. 13:
He who gives, in simplicity; . . . he who shows mercy, with
cheerfulness.... Love one another with fraternal charity, anticipating one another with honor.
Be not slothful in zeal; be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.... Share the needs of the saints,
practicing hospitality.
I Cor 13, 3:
And if I distribute all my goods to feed the poor, . . . yet do not have charity, it
profits me nothing.
Gal 6, 10:
While we have time, let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of
the household of the faith.

You yourselves have learned from God to love one another.

that is sincere, love one another heartily and intensely.

humble; not rendering evil for evil, or abuse for abuse, but contrariwise, blessing; for unto this
