Grant to impart to others whatever I possess that is good,
and to ask humbly of others that I may partake of the good
of which I am destitute to confess truly my faults;
to bear with equanimity the pains and evils which I suffer.
Grant that I may never envy the good of my neighbor,
and that I may always return thanks for Thy graces.
Let me always observe discipline in my clothing,
movements, and gestures.
Let my tongue be restrained from vain words,
my feet from going astray,
my eyes from seeking after vain objects,
my ears from hearing from listening to much news;
may I humbly incline my countenance,
and raise my spirit to heaven.
Grant me to despise all transitory things,
and to desire Thee alone;
to subdue my flesh and purify my conscience;
to honor Thy saints, and to praise Thee worthily;
to advance in virtue,
and to end good actions by a happy death.
Plant in me, O Lord, all virtues:
that I may be devoted to divine things,
provident in human affairs,
and troublesome to no one in bodily cares.
Grant me, O Lord,
fervor in contrition, sincerity in confession,
and completeness in satisfaction.
Deign to direct my soul to a good life;
that what I do may be pleasing to Thee,
meritorious to myself,
and edifying to my neighbor.
Grant that I may never desire to do what is foolish,
and that I may never be discouraged by what is distasteful;
that I may never begin my works before the proper time,
nor abandoning them before they are completed.
Amen.
 

 Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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.

 
Prayer in Honor of Saint Dymphna

Lord, our God,
you graciously chose Saint Dymphna
as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders.
She is thus an inspiration
and a symbol of charity to the thousands
who ask her intercession.
Please grant, Lord,
through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr,
relief and consolation to all suffering such trials,
and especially those for whom we pray.
(Here mention those for whom you wish to pray).
We beg you, Lord,
to hear the prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf.
Grant all those for whom we pray patience
in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will.
Please fill them with hope,
and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.
We ask this through Christ our Lord
who suffered agony in the garden.
Amen.
