Prayer For Father Baker's Canonization
Lord, you gave us Your Servant Nelson Baker as an example of
service to the poor, homeless, and young. By "Father Baker's" ardent concern for
those in need, inflame our hearts and lives with compassion for the poor,
justice for the oppressed, hope for the troubled, and courage to those in doubt.
We pray through the intercession of Our Lady of Victory, if it be Your will,
that Your servant, Nelson Baker, may one day be canonized. Amen. <

In the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 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.
The
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is
with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the
hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be 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.

Lord. Amen.

Our
Lady of The Sacred Heart Prayer
Remember, Our Lady of the Sacred
Heart, what ineffable power thy divine Son hath given thee over His own
adorable Heart. Full of trust in thy merits, we come before thee and beg thy
protection. O heavenly Treasurer of the Heart of Jesus, that Heart which is
the inexhaustible source of all graces, which thou mayest open to us at thy
good pleasure, in order that from it may flow forth upon mankind the riches
of love and mercy, light and salvation, that are contained therein; grant
unto us, we beseech thee, the favors which we seek. . . . We can never,
never be refused by thee, and since thou art our Mother, O our Lady of the
Sacred Heart, graciously hear our prayers and grant our request. Amen. |
Act
of Faith
O my God, I believe that you are
one God in three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe that Your Divine Son became Man and died for our sins, and that
He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and
all the truths that the Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed
them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.
Act
of Hope
O my God, relying on Your almighty
power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins,
the help of Your grace and life everlasting through the merits of Jesus
Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen
Act
of Love
O my God, I love you above all
things with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy
of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You. I
forgive all who have injured me and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Amen.
The
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 y the power of the Holy Spirit and 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
Act
of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for
having offended your and I detest all my sins, because of your
punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are
all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of
your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Prayer of St. Francis
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; and 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
The
"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 to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you
do 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 me.
Amen.
