(Try to say this prayer after Mass)
Heavenly Father, grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and
Blood of Your Divine Son, may die to our own selfishness and be one
spirit with Christ, as we seek to fulfill Your distinctive plan for
our lives. (pause)
Form me and all the members of my family, community, and The
Apostolate into instruments of atonement. Unite our entire lives with
the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus in the Mass of Calvary, and accept our
seed sacrifice offering of all of our spiritual and material
possessions, for the Sacred and Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, through
the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with St. Joseph.
(pause)
Our Father, let Sacred Scripture’s Four “C’s” of
Confidence, Conscience, seed-Charity, and Constancy be our guide for
living our consecration as peaceful children, and purified instruments
of the Most Holy Family. (pause)
Let us live our consecration by remaining perpetually confident,
calm, cheerful, and compassionate, especially with the members of our
own family and community. (pause)
Please protect our loved ones and ourselves from the temptations of
the world, the flesh, and the devil. Help us to become more sensitive
to the inspirations of Your Holy Spirit, the Holy Family, our Patron
Saints and Guardian Angels. (pause)
And now, Most Heavenly Father, inspire us to establish the right
priorities for Your precious gift of time. And most of all, help us to
be more sensitive to the needs and feelings of our loved ones. (pause)
Never let us forget the souls in Purgatory who are dependent upon
us for help. Enable us to gain, for the Poor Souls of our loved ones
and others, as many indulgences as possible. We ask You this, Our
Father, in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Your Son and
the Son of Mary. Amen.
