Recommended Prayers

Brother Charles de Foucauld’s Prayer of Abandonment:
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures –
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.

St Gertrude’s Prayer to Release 1000 Souls from Purgatory:
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Excerpt from St Padre Pio’s Stay With Me Prayer:
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.

Surrender Novena by Don Dolindo Ruotolo
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!

Memorares recommended by Lorraine and St. Mother Teresa
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 unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer me. Amen.
