O
God of love! In all humility and confidence I offer Thee the
immaculate Heart of Mary together with the loving Heart of Jesus
our Lord, who gave Himself upon the Cross of Calvary and still
offers Himself upon the altar to sanctify and save the souls of
men. In loving union with this sacrifice of infinite value, I
offer Thee my whole being, O my God, and all my prayers and
sufferings, all my sorrows and labors, my life and my death, in
order to fulfil Thy divine will in my own soul, to sanctify all
missionaries and their native clergy, to obtain the grace of
perseverance for their converts as well as the conversion of all
sinners and unbelievers in their missions. (Raccolta)

Prayer for One's
Confessor |
In
asking of Thee, O my God, the graces of which I am in need, can I,
without ingratitude, forget before Thee, him whom Thou hast chosen
from among Thy ministers, to reconcile me to Thee by the sacrament
of penance, justly called the second plank after shipwreck? Deign,
I beseech Thee, O my God, to adorn his soul with the virtues
befitting the functions of the awful ministry with which Thou hast
invested him. Grant him the faith of St. Peter, the charity of St.
Paul, the firmness of St. Chrysostom, the evangelical liberty of
St. Ambrose, the lights of St. Augustine, the piety of St.
Bernard, the zeal of St. Charles Borromeo, the mildness of St.
Francis of Sales, and the humility of St. Vincent de Paul. Guide
him Thyself, O Lord in all his actions, that after having been
here below a prudent and faithful dispenser of Thy mysteries, he
may hereafter receive from Thy bountiful hands, the bright crown
Thou hast promised in a blessed eternity, to the priests who shall
have consecrated their lives to bring back their fellow creatures
from the ways of error, and to conduct them in the paths of
justice and peace. Amen. [Source: Prayers for

Jesus,
Eternal Priest, keep Thy priests within the shelter of Thy Sacred
Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed
hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their
lips, daily purpled with Thy Precious Blood. Keep pure and
unworldly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the
priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround them from the world's
contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the
souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and
their everlasting crown hereafter.

Prayer for Priests
(3) |
Keep
them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord, Keep them, for they are Thine -
Thy priests whose lives burn out before Thy consecrated Shrine.
Keep them - Thou knowest, dearest Lord - The world, the flesh are
strong. And Satan spreads a thousand snares to lead them into
wrong. Keep them for they are in the world though from the world
apart, when earthly pleasures tempt, allure - shelter them in Thy
Heart. Keep them, and comfort them in hours of loneliness and
pain, when all their life of sacrifice for souls seems but in
vain. Keep them, and oh! remember Lord, they have no one but Thee.
Yet they have only human hearts, with human frailty. Keep them as
spotless as the Host that daily, they caress. Their every thought
and word and deed, deign, dearest Lord, to bless. [Source:

Prayer for Priests
(4) |
O
Jesus, eternal High Priest, Good Shepherd, Font of Life, who by a
special favor of Thy most tender Heart hast given to us our
priests in order to accomplish in us those holy ideals with which
Thy grace inspires our hearts, let Thy mercy, we beseech Thee,
come to the aid of our priests. Grant them, O Jesus, lively faith
in their works, unshakeable hope in their trials and fervent
charity in their intentions. May Thy word, radiant with eternal
Wisdom, become through continual meditation, the never-failing
nourishment of their interior life; may the examples of Thy Life
and Passion be renewed in their conduct and sufferings for our
instruction and as a light and consolation in our sorrows. Grant,
O Lord, that our priests, free from all earthly attachments and
solicitous for Thy glory alone, may persevere to their last breath
in the fulfillment of duty and in purity of conscience. And when
in death they deliver into your hands a task well done may they
have in Thee, Lord Jesus, their Master on earth, the eternal
reward of the crown of justice in the glory of the Saints. Amen.

Prayer for Priests
(5) |
O
almighty eternal God, look upon the face of Thy Christ, and for
the love of Him who is the eternal High-priest, have pity on Thy
priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but
weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their
vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop's hands.
Keep them close to Thee, lest the enemy prevail against them, so
that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy
of their sublime vocation. O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful
and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy
priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for
Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely and desolate priests; for Thy
young priests; for Thy aged priests; for Thy sick priests; for Thy
dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in purgatory. But
above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me: the priest
who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the
priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Thy Body and
Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me
or helped me and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am
indebted in any other way, particularly (N.). O Jesus, keep them
all close to Thy heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in
eternity. Amen. [Source: Prayers for Priests]

Propagation of the Faith & Return of the Straying |
Most
loving Lord Jesus Christ, who hast redeemed the world by the
shedding of Thy Most Precious Blood, turn Thine eyes in mercy upon
our poor humanity, which still lies, for the most part, sunk in
the darkness of error and in the shadow of death, and grant that
the light of Thy truth may shine gloriously upon all mankind.
Multiply, O Lord, the apostles of thy gospel, give them new
fervor, and bless with Thy grace their zeal and their labors and
make them fruitful; that by means of them all unbelievers may know
Thee and be converted to Thee, their Creator and their Redeemer.
Call back to Thy fold all who have gone astray, and restore to the
bosom of thy one, true Church all who are in rebellion against
her. Hasten, dear Savior, the happy day when Thy kingdom shall
truly come upon earth; draw all men to Thy loving Heart, so that
all may be partakers of the unspeakable blessings of Thy
redemption in the everlasting bliss of heaven. Amen. (Raccolta)

Give

enabled to judge Thy people with justice, and Thy poor and humble
ones with true judgment. Grant me so to handle the keys of the
Kingdom of heaven, that I may open it to none who ought to be shut
out, nor to shut out any to whom I ought to open. Let my intention

fruitful. Let me be kind without laxity, severe without harshness;
let me not look down upon the poor man, nor flatter the rich man.
Give me sweetness that I may draw sinners unto Thee; give me
prudence in asking questions; give me skill in instruction. Bestow
upon me, I beseech Thee, zeal in withdrawing sinners from evil
courses, diligence in establishing them in goodness, and
earnestness in moving them to a better life: maturity in my
answers, rightness in my counsels, light in obscure matters,
insight in intricate cases, and victory over all difficulties; let
me not be involved in useless talk, nor corrupted by shameful
avowals; may I save others, without myself becoming a castaway.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics
Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)
"Suitable For Children Or
Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"
+ + +
As many faithful Catholics already know,
the majestic
Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church –
promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with
our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties
back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin,
and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious
treasure that is the
Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of
English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in
educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings
many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"
If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that
this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an
assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches,
crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee,
quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs,
circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and
treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language
facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations,
phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender,
inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin
prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
