Catholic Prayer for Easter Monday

Dear Lord,

As we celebrate the joy of Easter and the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ, we give thanks for the gift of new life and the hope that it brings. 

We pray that the Easter message of love, forgiveness, and salvation may be a source of strength and inspiration for us in our daily lives.

We ask for your blessings on this Easter Monday, and on all those who continue to celebrate the joy of Easter. 

May we be filled with the light of Christ and the hope of eternal life, and may we share that hope and joy with others.

We also remember all those who are suffering, particularly those who are struggling with illness, loss, or uncertainty. 

May they find comfort and strength in your loving presence, and may they be surrounded by the care and compassion of others.

Help us to be bearers of your light and your love in the world, sharing the message of Easter with all those we meet. 

May our lives be a reflection of the hope and joy that comes from knowing and following Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and Savior.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.

Act of Adoration # 4

My Lord Jesus Christ,

true God and true Man,
I adore Thee with every fibre of my being!

I adore Thee at every instant of time.

I adore Thee in union with the Immaculate Heart
of our Blessed Mother, Mary,
in union with the pure Heart Of St. Joseph,
in union with all Thy Angels and Saints
in the Glory Of Heaven,
in union with Thy just on earth,
in union with the souls in purgatory.

With this tribute of adoration
I wish to adore Thee for all who do not adore Thee,
to love Thee for all who love Thee not,
to acknowledge Thee to be my God,
for all who refuse to acknowledge Thee.

Amen.

Catholic prayer for Good Friday

Dear Lord,

On this solemn day of Good Friday, we come before you with heavy hearts, mindful of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for our sins. We offer our prayers and our thanksgiving for the love that you have shown us through the death of your Son.

As we meditate on the suffering of Jesus, we are reminded of the depth of your love for us and the extent to which you were willing to go to save us from our sins. Help us to remember that even in the midst of darkness and despair, your light shines bright and your grace is always present.

We pray for all those who are suffering, that they may find comfort and hope in the knowledge of your love. We pray for those who have lost loved ones, that they may be consoled by your peace and your presence.

May the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross be a reminder to us of the power of your love and the depth of your mercy. May it inspire us to live lives of compassion, forgiveness, and service to others.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Act of Adoration and Praise After Communion Devotion

O Lord Jesus, sweetest Guest,
mayest Thou have come happily to me,
Thy poor and humble servant.

Mayest Thou have entered in blessing
under this mean and lowly roof.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the highest,
for that Thou hast come into my heart,
Thou Day-spring from on high.


O King of peace,
drive from my heart all vain and idle thoughts,
that my soul may imitate and love Thee only,
the Author of peace.

For what beside Thee, O Thou peace,
Thou calm and sweetness of my heart,
should my soul seek for or desire?

Amen.

Prayer for Holy Thursday

Dear Lord,

As we gather on this Holy Thursday to remember the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, we are reminded of the depth of your love for us.

 We give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist, through which we are united with Jesus and with one another in a sacred bond of love and communion.

We pray that as we receive the body and blood of Christ, we may be transformed by his love and his grace. 

May the Eucharist be a source of strength and nourishment for our souls, and may it inspire us to live lives of service and sacrifice for others.

On this Holy Thursday, we also remember the example that Jesus set for us in washing the feet of his disciples. 

Help us to imitate his humility and his selflessness, and to be willing to serve others in whatever way we can.

We pray for all those who are hungry or in need, that they may be fed and cared for. 

We pray for all those who are suffering, that they may find comfort and healing in your loving embrace.

May this Holy Thursday be a time of deepening our faith and our commitment to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, as we strive to live lives of love and service to others.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Amen.
