Good morning, Jesus.


This little prayer was the first prayer Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997) said out loud every morning when she woke up.

Amen.

Mother of God, remember me.


Aspiration of Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552).

Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a Mother to me now!



Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997) said: "If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon Our Lady. Just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a Mother to me now!' I must admit, this prayer has never failed me".

Hail Mary, Full of Grace.

Ave Maria, gratia plena (Latin)

My Mother, my Confidence!

The portrait of Our Lady of Confidence by Carlo Maratta (1625-1713) came into the possession of Sister Chiara Isabella Fornari (1697–1744), a young nun of the Poor Clare Convent at Todi, Italy. It is believed that the artist himself presented the portrait to the young nun.

Our Lady indicated her liking for the portrait by appearing to Sister Chiara Isabella. During this apparition, the Blessed Virgin promised the nun that she would grant a particular tenderness and devotion toward herself to everyone who venerates her image in the picture of Our Lady of Confidence. Combined with the aspiration, “My Mother, my Confidence,” this devotion has proven especially efficacious.

O Lady, grant that Jesus may never cast me aside.



A Marian aspiration from Saint Ephrem (c. 306 - c. 379).

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.

Virgo Dei Génitrix, María, deprecáre Iesum pro me.


A prayer recommended by Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595) and incorporated in his Philippine Rosary.

Lord, save me!'

Domine, salvum me fac. (Latin)

Jesus, Mary, I love You! Save souls!

A prayer given to Venerable Sister Consolata Betrone (1903-1946) in an inner locution from Jesus. Concerning this prayer, Our Lord told Sister Consolata "Tell me, what more beautiful prayer do you want to offer me? ---'Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save souls!'--- Love and souls! What more beautiful prayer could you desire?"

In another revelation given to Sister Consolata by Jesus: “‘Jesus, Mary, I love You. Save souls’ encompasses everything, the souls in Purgatory and the souls in the Militant Church; the innocent soul and the guilty soul; the dying, the atheist, etc… Do not lose time; remember that every act of love is a soul. Of all the gifts, the best gift you can offer me is a day full of love".

Christ conquers! Christ reigns! Christ commands!

Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat! (Latin)

Christ is King. Christ has the victory. Nothing can ever change this.

O God come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me.

Deus, in adjutorium meum intende, Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina. (Latin)


The words of Psalm 69.2, and these words form the introductory prayer to every Hour of the Roman, monastic, and Ambrosian Breviaries, except during the last three days of Holy Week, and in the Office of the Dead. While they are said, or sung, all present sign themselves with the sign of the cross.

Tradition says that St. Benedict (480-547) introduced this custom into the monastic Office and that St. Gregory the Great (c. 540 - 604) extended it to all the Roman churches. St Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) prayed these words as an aspiration

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered: and let them that hate Him flee from before His Face!

Exsugat Deus, et dissipéntur inimíci ejus: et fúgiant, qui odérunt eum, a fácie ejus! (Latin)

The words of Psalm 67.2

Stay with us, O Lord.

Mane nobiscum, Domine (Latin)

May, O Lord, the light of Thy Countenance shine upon us
Illumina, Domine, vultum tuum super nos (Latin)

Jesus, I trust in You
In Te Confido Iesu!

Heart of Jesus, help me

(Full prayer)

O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessings on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Within your heart I place my every care. In every need let me come to you with humble trust saying, Heart of Jesus, help me. Amen.

Admirable is the Name of God.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.

Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.
