    power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil

    spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin ofsouls. Amen.

    Mary, Queen of the Holy Angels, Pray for us!

    Apostles Creed

    I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven

    and Earth.

    I believe in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord.

    He was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit,

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    5/61

    Born of the Virgin Mary,

    He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and

    was buried.

    He descended to the dead, On the third day, he rose

    again,

    He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand

    of the Father.

    He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,

    The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

    resurrection of the body,

    And life everlasting. Amen

    graces to all those who shall recite the rosary.

    3. The rosary shall be a powerful armour against hell, it

    will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

    4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will

    obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it willwithdraw the hearts of men from the love of the

    world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire

    of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify

    themselves by this means.

    5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the

    recitation of the rosary, shall not perish.

    6. Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying

    himself to the consideration of the sacred mysteries

    shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not

    chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    7/61

    unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in

    the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.

    7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary

    shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

    8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have,

    during their life and at their death, the light of God

    and the plenitude of His graces;

    at the moment of death, they shall participate in the

    merits of the saints in paradise.

    9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been

    devoted to the rosary.

    10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a

    high degree of glory in heaven.

    11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the

    recitation of the rosary.

    12. All those who propagate the rosary shall be

    aided by me in their necessities.

    13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the

    advocates of the rosary shall have for intercessors

    the entire celestial court during their life and at the

    hour of death.

    14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and

    brothers of my only son, Jesus Christ.

    15. Devotion of my rosary is a great sign of

    predestination.

    First Prayer

    Our FatherHail Mary

    Oh Jesus Christ! Eternal Sweetness to those who love

    You, joy surpassing all joy and all desire, Salvation

    and Hope of all sinners, You have proved that You

    have no greater desire than to be among men, evenassuming human nature at the fullness of time for

    the love of men, recall all the sufferings You have

    endured from the instant of Your conception, and

    especially during Your Passion, as it was decreed and

    ordained from all eternity in the Divine Plan.

    Remember, Oh Lord, that during the Last Supper,

    with Your disciples, having washed their feet, You

    gave them your Most Precious Body and Blood, and

    while at the same time, you did sweetly console

    them, you did foretell them Your coming Passion.

    Remember the sadness and bitterness which You did

    experience in Your Soul as You Yourself bore witness,

    saying: My Soul is sorrowful even unto death.Remember all the fear, anguish, and pain that You

    did suffer in Your delicate Body, before the torment

    of the Crucifixion, when, after having prayed three

    times, bathed in a sweat of blood, You were betrayed

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    23/61

    by Judas, your disciple, arrested by the people of a

    nation You had chosen and elevated, accused by

    false witnesses, unjustly judged by three judges

    during the flower of Your Youth and during thesolemn Paschal season.

    Remember that you were despoiled of Your

    garments and clothed in those of derision; that Your

    Face and Eyes were veiled, that You were buffeted,

    crowned with thorns, a reed placed in Your hands,

    that You were crushed with blows and overwhelmed

    by affronts and outrages.

    In memory of all these pains and sufferings which

    you did endure before Your Passion on the Cross,

    grant me before my death, true contrition, a sincere

    and entire confession, worthy satisfaction and the

    remission of all my sins. Amen.

    Second Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! True liberty of angels, Paradise of

    delights, remember the horror and sadness

    which You did endure when Your enemies, like

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    24/61

    furious lions, surrounded You, and by

    thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations,

    and other unheard-of-cruelties tormented You

    at will.

    In consideration of these torments and

    insulting words, I beseech You, Oh my Savior,

    to deliver me from all my enemies, visible and

    invisible,

    And to bring me, under Your protection, to the

    perfection of eternal salvation. Amen.

    Third Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! Creator of Heaven and Earth, Whom

    nothing can encompass or limit, You who do

    enfold all under Your Loving Power, rememberthe very bitter pain You did suffer when the

    Jews nailed Your Sacred Hands and Feet to the

    Cross, by blow after blow with big blunt nails,

    and not finding You in a pitiable enough state

    25/61

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    26/61

    torment, and yet, forgetting all your sufferings,

    you did not cease to pray to Your Heavenly

    Father for your enemies, saying: Father,

    forgive them, for they know not what they do.

    Through this great Mercy, and in memory of

    this suffering, grant the remembrance of your

    Most Bitter Passion may effect in us a perfect

    contrition and the remission of all our sins.

    Amen.

    Fifth Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! Mirror of eternal splendor, remember

    the sadness which You experienced, when

    contemplating in the light of Your Divinity and

    predestination of those who would be saved by

    form the thirst for the salvation of the human

    race. I beg of You, my Savior, to inflame in our

    hearts the desire to tend toward perfection in

    all our acts; and to extinguish in us theconcupiscence of the flesh and the ardor of

    worldly desires. Amen.

    Eighth Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the

    spirit, by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall

    which You did taste on the Cross fro love of us,

    grant us the grace to receive worthily Your

    Precious Body and Blood during our life and at

    the hour of our death, that they may serve as

    the pain You did endure, when, plunged in an

    in a loud voice that You were abandoned by

    Your Father, saying: My God, My God, whyhave You forsaken Me? Through this anguish,

    I beg of You, Oh my Saviour, not to abandon

    me in the terrors and pains of my death. Amen.

    Tenth Prayer

    Our Father

    30/61

    suffering from the soles of Your Feet to the

    crown of Your head. In consideration of the

    enormity of Your Wounds, teach me to keep,

    through pure love, Your Commandments,whose way is wide and easy for those who love

    You. Amen.

    Eleventh Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy, I beg of You, in

    memory of Your Wound which penetrated to

    the very marrow of Your Bones and to the

    depth of Your being, to draw me, a miserable

    sinner, overwhelmed by the offenses, away

    from sin, and to hide from Your face, justly

    irritated against me, hide me in Your Wounds,

    until Your anger and just indignation shall havepassed away. Amen.

    of Charity, remember the multitude of Wounds

    with which You were covered from head to

    foot, torn and reddened by the Spilling of Your

    Adorable Blood. Oh Great and Universal Pain

    which You did suffer in Your Virginal Flesh for

    Love of us! Sweetest Jesus! What is there that

    You could have done for us which You have not

    done! May the fruit of your sufferings be

    renewed in my soul by the faithful

    remembrance of Your Passion, and may Your

    Love increase in my heart each day, until I see

    Thirteenth Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! Strong Lion, Immortal and Invincible

    King, remember the pain which you didendure, when all your strength, both moral and

    physical, was entirely exhausted, You did bow

    Your Head, saying:

    It is consummated! Through this anguish and

    grief, I beg of you, Lord Jesus, to have mercy

    on me at the hour of my death, when my mind

    will be greatly troubled and my soul will be in

    anguish. Amen.

    Fourteenth Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    33/61

    Oh Jesus! Only Son of the Father, Splendor and

    Figure of His Substance, remember the simple

    and humble recommendation You did make of

    Your Soul to Your Eternal Father, saying:

    Father, into your Hands, I commend my

    Spirit! And with Your Body all torn, and Your

    Heart broken, and the depths of Your mercy

    open to redeem us, You did expire. By this

    Precious Death, I beg of You, Oh King of Saints,comfort me and help me to resist the devil, the

    flesh, and the world, so that being dead to the

    world, I may live for you alone. I beg of you, at

    the hour of my death, to receive me, a pilgrim

    and an exile returning to You. Amen.

    Fifteenth Prayer

    Our Father

    Hail Mary

    Oh Jesus! True and fruitful Vine! Remember the

    abundant outpouring of Blood which You did so

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    34/61

    generously shed from Your Sacred Body as

    juice from grapes in a wine press. From your

    side, pierced with a lance by a soldier, blood

    and water issued forth until there was not leftin Your Body a single drop, and finally, like a

    bundle of myrrh, lifted to the top of the Cross,

    Your delicate Flesh was destroyed, the very

    Substance of Your Body withered, and the

    Marrow of Your Bones dried up.

    Through this bitter Passion and through theoutpouring of Your Precious Blood, I beg of

    You, Oh Sweet Jesus, to receive my soul when I

    am in my death agony. Amen.

    Conclusion

    Oh Sweet Jesus! Pierce my heart so that my

    tears of penitence and love will be my bread

    day and night; may I be converted entirely to

    You,

    may my heart be your perpetual habitation,

    may my conversation be pleasing to you, and

    may the end of my life be so praiseworthy that

  • 7/30/2019 13446849 Book of Essential Christian Prayers Daily Prayers

    I may merit Heaven, and there with Your

    salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Your

    Shoulder on which You did bear Your heavy Cross, which

    so tore Your flesh and laid bare Your Bones as to inflict on

    of Sorrows, a grievous Wound, which was more painful

    than the others, and which is
