| PRAYER TO SAINTS SERGIUS & BACCHUS Written by Rev. Robert Johnnene OFD Your martyrs Sergius and Bacchus, O Lord, loved each other and you with such complete abandon that they were willing to suffer torments and give up there earthly lives rather than deny you. They were subjected to disgrace and humiliation in an attempt to embarrass and degrade them. Their love for each other and You, O Lord, sentenced them to death but gained for them eternal life and glory with you. I pray that they will look upon me and have mercy on me, interceding on my behalf to you, O Blessed Lord, pleading my case so that I may join them and all the saints when my days here on earth are ended. That they will plead for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the work of our mission and be an inspiration to those who have strayed away from your flock to return so that there is only one flock and one shepherd, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen |
| A Sinners Prayer by Rev. Robert Johnnene OFD in 1957 Oh Mary Immaculate, Virgin so fair, Mother of Our Savior, please hear my prayer. Intercede, dearest mother, to your heavenly son, tell Him I am truly sorry for all the wrongs and sins that I have done. Ask Him to guide me by the gifts of the Holy Spirit in all of my ways. So that I may give Him honor, praise and glory at the end of my days. Amen. |
| MORNING PRAYER O, God, you are the light of the minds that know you, the life of the souls that love you, the strength of the hearts that serve you. Help me to know you, so that I may truly love you, so to love you that I may fully serve you, Whom to serve is perfect freedom through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. AMEN In the morning we are filled with your mercy, O Lord, and we rejoice and delight in all our days. Let us delight then, even in the days that you make us lowly and for the years that we have seen and participated in evils. Look upon the creation of Your hand and guide me in Your ways always, so that I may give glory to you, Heavenly Father; and to your beloved son, Jesus Christ, my redeemer and savior; and to the Holy Spirit, the giver of light, now and forever until the ages of ages. AMEN |
| DAILY OFFERING O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the Apostolic church. I offer them for the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for all the intentions of our Bishops and all the apostles of prayer and in particular for those recommended by The Bishop of Rome the Patriarchs and all lawful leaders of the faith. AMEN |
| PRAYER FOR UNITY OF THE CHURCH Heavenly Father, Your Blessed Son asked that His Church be one as You and He are one, but Christians have not been united as He prayed they would. We have isolated ourselves from each other and failed to listen to each other. We have misunderstood and ridiculed and even gone so far as to attack each other. In so doing we have offended against you Almighty God, against all our brothers and sisters in the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, and against all who have not believed in You because of our scandalous disunity. Forgive us, Father, and make us fully one. Blot out our sins, renew our minds, rekindle our hearts, and guide us by Your Holy Spirit into the oneness which is Your will. Amen |
