Evening Prayers

Prayer Of Being Forgiven

Loving Lord,
mindful of your mercy
and the love
that took you to the cross,
I place myself before you
and ask your forgiveness
for all the times
when I have failed to follow you.

Lord Jesus,
forgive me
and help me become
more like you each day.
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 offended 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 doe penance and to amend my life.
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 will call
me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy in 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 remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.

Luke 1:46-55

Evening Hymn

All praise to you, O God, this night
For all the blessings of the light.
Keep us, we pray, O King of kings,
Beneath your own almighty wings.

Forgive us, Lord, through Christ your Son,
Whatever wrong this day we've done.
Your peace give to the world, O Lord,
That we might live in one accord.

Enlighten us, O blessed Light,
And give us rest throughout the night.
O strengthen us that for your sake,
We all may serve you when we wake.
Prayer of Forgiving

Lord God,
I have no secretes from you.
You know me better than I know myself
and so you know
how I struggle now
to forgive those who have hurt me.
Please, soften my heart
and give me the grace
to pray for them,
an to forgive them
as you forgive me.
Amen.

Marian Prayers

The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary…

“Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
be it done unto me according to your Word.”
Hail Mary…

And the Word became flesh,
and dwelt among us.
Hail Mary…

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come; before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.


The Lord’s Prayer

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; and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. Amen.

Doxology

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and
to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
you. Blessed are you among women and
blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners, now and at the hour of our
death. Amen.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Let Us Pray

Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord,
your grace into our hearts; that as we
have known the incarnation of Christ
your Son by the message of an angel, so
by his passion and cross may we be
brought to the glory of his resurrection.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Salve Regina

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this land of exile.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last and
show us the blessed fruit
of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid
of the Lord. May it be done to me
according to your word.”

The Annunciation

Mary, your “yes” is a model for us.
Through your prayers, help us to say
“yes” to what the Lord has planned for
us. Open our hearts to the love of Jesus.
Just as you are a handmaid, teach us to
be humble servants of Jesus’ love. Pray
that we may hear God’s
Word and put it into
practice.

We pray for parents,
that they will pass
faith on to their
children.
