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

Amen.

Jesus, Lover of chastity, 
Mary, Mother most pure, 
and Joseph, chaste guardian of the Virgin, 
to you I come at this hour, 
begging you to plead with God for me. 
I earnestly wish to be pure in thought, 
word and deed in imitation of your own holy purity.

Obtain for me, then, 
a deep sense of modesty
which will be reflected in my external conduct. 

Heart of Jesus, Fount of all purity, 
have mercy on us. 

Remember, O Good Saint Anne,
whose name means grace and mercy,
that never was it know
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help,
and sought your intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I come before you,
sinful and sorrowful.
Holy mother of the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
and loving grandmother of the Saviour,
do not reject my appeal,
but hear me and answer my prayer.

Amen.

Remember, most loving Virgin Mary,
never was it heard
that anyone who turned to you for help
was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence,
though hardened by my sins,
I run to your protection 
for you are my mother.

Mother of the Word of God,
do not despise my prayer of pleading
but be merciful and hear my prayer.

Amen

Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, 
that never was it known that anyone 
who implored your help and sought your intercession 
were left unassisted. 
Full of confidence in your power 
I fly to you and beg your protection. 
Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, 
but in your bounty, 
hear and answer me. 

Amen.

Heavenly Father, 
in your wisdom you have called 
certain women and men
to a life of special consecration 
so that in prayerful observance 
of a lifestyle of poverty, 
chaste celibacy and obedience,
they might be witnesses to us 
that as St. Paul says, 
"our true citizenship is in heaven." 
Give them, Lord, 
the grace of joy and perseverance 
in their holy vocation. 
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Eternal Father,
I offer You the Sacred heart of Jesus,
with all Its love,
all Its sufferings and all Its merits;
To expiate all the sins I have committed this day,
and during all my life.

To purify the good I have done in my poor way this day,
and during all my life.

To make up for the good I ought to have done and
that I have neglected this day
and during all my life.
