Prayers

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Luke 11:2. (Prayer of Our Lord)

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the lowiness of his handmaid: for behold, from hemceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me, and Holy is his name. His mercy is from generation unto generations on them that fear him. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the lowly. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy. As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Luke 1:46 (prayer of Mary)

"Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people, And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of His servent David, As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Who have been since the world began, That we should be saved from our enemies And from the hand of all who hate us, To perform the mercy promised to our fathers And to remember His holy covenant, The oath which He swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life. "And you, child will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace."

Zacharias Prophecy from Luke 1:68-79. The Spirit of Elijah is important today as it was when Jesus Christ came the first time. See the page on Bible study.

PRAYER FOR WORKERS AND EXECUTIVES

Heavenly Father, you have given us the example of Joseph. By Joseph's toil, he supported and protected the holy family; he was with Jesus from his birth until just before his public ministry started. With the Virgin Mary, he taught our Savior, Jesus Christ, many things including carpentry.

Eternal Father, you know that Joseph is the model of all workers. In Jesus name, I ask for the grace to work in the spirit of thansgiving and joy. Let me consider it an honor to use and develop the gifts and wisdom received from God. Lord, aid me to work in order, peace, cheerfulness, steadiness, creativity, patience, honesty, and to work conscientiously while striving for excellence. Above all, help me to work and to conduct all business for the glory of God. Jesus, remind me of the account I must give of time lost, work badly done, and for dishonest business transactions. Give me the strength to imitate Jesus when he was on this earth. Let your holy angels watch over me as I work and conduct business whether in the office, laboratory, convension site, factory, construction site, or outside, or just on the computer.

May I receive a crown of glory when I arrive in Heaven, for glorifying God on this earth. In Jesus Holy name, I pray from the bottom of my heart and I promise to glorify your name each day that I am at work or on the computer. Amen.

A PRAY DURING PERSECUTION TIMES; 200 - 300 A.D.

We fly to your patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

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;
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,
it is dying that we are born to eternal life.

Pray for peace in the world (see the prayer on the home page). Terrorism is evil and is a sign of the Tribulation. All peoples are equal in the sight of God. Love all nations and peoples.

Lift your heart and mind to God in prayer. Pray as you work. You may receive an answer to prayer from God at any time, even while your are working. Do God's will for you in your life. Make prayer a joy.

The Key to Salvation is prayer!!!!!!!/

Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty, and fashion human lives in your image and likeness. Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life. As we work today, lets think about the life of the unborn child, little children, youth, working adults, and senior adults. Grant to me O Lord, the conviction to proclaim to others, the love that I have for God and the love that I have for others. Amen.

May God bless you and your family each day. Amen. Pray at all times even when you are relaxing.

Pray every day

Give all glory to God

Pray while you are at work. The time when you are alone at work is a good time to pray when nobody is paying attention. Reflect on the Transfiguration and the Glory of God. Think about what Jesus said when he was on this earth. Especially pray when you have a difficult task to do.
