Prayer Manual
This small prayer manual compiles from numerous typical sources (ie, faithful to the originals or approved by the Holy See in its 2000 years of history) the main prayers that constitute the spiritual nourishment of the Catholic faithful. Its single-page organization cannot and should not replace the good manuals we know: the Catechism of Saint Pius X , the Straight Way , the Manual of Prayers of Saint Alfonso Maria de Ligório, the Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary , among others. This compilation, therefore, responds to a double purpose: to respond to the requests of countless of our faithful for prayers according to reliable sources and to encourage them to seek in-depth reading of what is the basic manual of the Catholic faith, which is the Catechism of St. Pius X.
SUMMARY
Main Prayers and Formulas
Below we list the main prayers, formulas and articles of faith for the Catholic faithful, taking them from the Catechism of Saint Pius X (trans. Slaves of Mary), which is the summation of all the truths of Catholic doctrine and should be known by all the catechized. In addition to knowing these prayers and formulas by heart, the faithful can equip themselves with some of them during their daily lives in order to ask God for divine help for temptations or for progress in the faith.

In the evening
Before going to bed, kneel down and, having made the sign of the cross, say:
My God and Lord, in whom I believe and hope, whom I adore and love with all my heart, I give You thanks for having created me, redeemed me, made me a Christian and preserved me this day. Give me grace to know my sins and repent of them.
Examine your conscience here, asking yourself: What have I done this day? How did I do it? What did I fail to do with what I was obliged to do? And end the exam with a fervent act of contrition, saying:
My Lord Jesus Christ, God and true Man, Creator, Father and Redeemer of mine, in whom I believe and hope, and whom I love above all things, just because You are who You are, immense goodness, infinitely merciful, and for the most precious blood that for my love you poured it on the holy tree of the Cross, I am sorry for having offended you. It weighs me, my God, that I have no greater regret, and although there was no hell to fear, no glory to hope for, just because You are who You are, I repent. I hate my guilt and it weighs me down for having sinned. I wish, my God, that all evils would come upon me to the point of death before I offend You again: I propose, Lord, never to sin again and to depart from occasions to offend You; I offer You my life, works and works in satisfaction of all my sins; and I hope in Your infinite goodness and mercy that You will forgive me and give me grace to amend and persevere to the end of my life in Your friendship and in Your grace. Amen.
Say, later:
Keep me, Lord, in this sinless night and deliver me from all evil.
Try to put yourself in the state in which you would like to be at the time of death, and think of brief moments that at that time will be completely useless to you riches, honors, pleasures and entertainments.
Meditate a little on the pity that your sins will give you, and on the satisfaction that your good works will produce, and say:
What would I do, my God, if I were to die tonight and appear in Your court to give an account to You! Am I in grace or in mortal sin? Did I make good or bad confessions? What state am I in? Do I hate someone or do I retain someone else? Do I have an addiction to swearing, murmuring, working on holy days, or doing immodest actions? Do I do my duties and use holy time? How do I answer these questions? Alas! How rigorous is the judgment in which I must be presented, and how much I must fear if I do not repent and amend now that I have time.
Then say at least the Our Father, Hail Mary, Creed and the Holy Angel prayer.
Lying down, already in bed, say:
Let me die in your grace, O Most Holy Trinity! Jesus, Joseph and Mary, I give you my heart and my soul.
Finally, ask God for his holy blessing, making the sign of the cross on you and saying:
The blessing of God Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit come upon me and remain forever. So be it.

My soul, who is this one that suffers? The Son of God, made man for my love... The Son of the Eternal Father... the King of heaven and earth... my God... my Father... my Creator... my Redeemer... And what does it suffer? There! And what terrible pains! ... And surely they would have been more terrible and frightening when only the memory and remembrance of them left him in such mortal agony, that it drew a very copious sweat of blood from him... “My Father, exclaimed our good Jesus to his Eternal Father, my Father... if it is possible, take this cup away from me so that I shall not drink it... but my will only be done, except Yours”. Here He saw in her understanding all the torments of her passion and death, the five thousand lashes that would open and fill her sacred back with wounds, the seventy-two thorns that would pierce her most holy head, the slaps, the sputum , the mocking, the contempt, the cross, the nails, the gall and vinegar, the insults and above all our ingratitude. And for who suffers this? For me, unhappy sinner; for me, who so vilely offended him so many times; for me, who, while it depended on myself, I crucified him again with unheard of cruelty, whenever I mortally offended him. And why do you suffer this? Because wants
take me to heaven; because you don't want me to condemn me; because you don't want me to fall into those abysses of fire, where you should
burn... consume me and despair forever for my sins. And in view of this, shall I not love a God who loved me to such an extreme? Shall I not abhor and mourn my faults, which were for my God and Lord the cause of so many pains? Could I then no longer have patience in the works, that it would be useful to send me, to satisfy for my sins, knowing that with them I so often deserved the horrible torments of hell? Oh my God! ... Yes, I would rather die than sin... I will never offend You again..., I already propose to accept all my pains and works in a spirit of penance, and I offer them to you in union with what you suffered for my love , so that, united with Yours, they may serve me as a satisfaction for the many sins I have committed. Oh my
God and my Father! ... that had never offended You! ... that I had always served and loved You! Most Holy Virgin, divine Mother, since you are the refuge of sinners and the Mother of divine love, obtain for me from Your Son the grace that, as I cry now and
loathing my faults, not precisely for fear of punishment but for being offenses against a God of infinite goodness, obtain his grace and friendship, and then eternal glory. Amen. And to oblige you more, I will greet you with a
Padre-Nosso and ten Hail Marys.
If you knew how to occupy yourself with these holy thoughts, though you did nothing else throughout the Mass, you would have been very well heard, and you would have used that time very well in the holy service of God. But if you do not know how to enter into these considerations or because you find yourself distracted (as long as it is not voluntarily), or for dryness and lack of sensitive devotion, or for other things, with the
who by chance will Our Lady try to detach you from the things of the world and from yourself, not for that reason, but be encouraged to have patience, in view of the example of Jesus Christ, who for three hours you were in the greatest consternation of the Horto and on the Cross, and pass on following the same practice, and stopping in what you feel most moved.
The Rosary of Our Lady
We present below the method of reciting the Rosary or Rosary according to St. Luis Maria Grignion de Montfort. A favorite prayer of the Blessed Virgin, recommended in numerous apparitions and ratified by dozens of pontiffs, the Rosary is formed by 150 Hail Marys and the Rosary by 50 Hail Marys, according to the model left by Our Lady. This method is the most commonly adopted - although there are countless others -, mainly due to its perfection and its meditative character. Essentially, the rosary is composed of the Credo, the Padre-Nossos and the Hail Marys, however it is tradition to say all the prayers below, except, of course, when our memory does not allow us to recite, for example, the Litany of Our Lady. It is also highly recommended that the believer know all the indulgences connected with the Rosary and the use of blessed rosaries by priests with permission to "rosariate" them, such as the Dominicans, as the indulgence will only be profited according to the conditions to be obeyed by the believer .
1. Take the rosary in your hands and make the Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, (+) the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
2. Offer the Rosary
I join with all the saints who are in Heaven, with all the righteous who are on Earth, with all the faithful souls who are in this place. I join You, my Jesus, to praise Your Holy Mother worthily, and to praise You, in her and for Her. I renounce all the distractions that come to me during this Rosary, which I want to recite with modesty, attention and devotion, as if it were the last one in my life.
We offer You, Most Holy Trinity, this Creed, to honor the all mysteries of our Faith; this Pater (Our Father) and these three Hail Marys, to honor the unity of your essence and the trinity of your people. We ask You for living faith, firm hope and ardent charity. So be it.
A break at this time for meditation is recommended.
3. Praying the Creed, holding the cross of the rosary
I believe in God Almighty Father,
creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
which was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilatus,
was crucified, dead and buried,
descended to hell,
on the third day he rose from the dead,
ascended to Heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit.
In the Holy Catholic Church,
in the communion of saints,
in the remission of sins,
in the resurrection of the flesh,
in eternal life.
Amen.
4. Pray 1 Our Father, holding the big bead right after the cross
Say: Let us praise Mary, the beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father.
Then pray 1 Ave Maria, holding the small bead that follows.
Say: Let us praise Mary, the admirable Mother of God the Son.
Then pray 1 Ave Maria, holding the small bead that follows.
Say: Most faithful wife of God the Holy Spirit.
Then pray 1 Ave Maria, holding the small bead that follows.
5. Pray 1 Glory to the Father.
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, now and always and for all ages of ages, Amen.
6. Then
O my Jesus, forgive us, free us from the fire of hell, take all souls to heaven, especially those who need it most.
