Gloria in Excelsis Deo by Angels

“Glory to God

in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace

to those on whom his favor rests.”

The Lord’s Prayer by Jesus

“Our Father in heaven,

may your name be kept holy.

May your Kingdom come soon.

May your will be done on earth,

as it is in heaven.

Give us today the food we need,

and forgive us our sins,

as we have forgiven those

who sin against us.

And don’t let us yield to temptation,

but rescue us from the evil one.”

The Jesus Prayer

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Priestly Blessing or Aaron’s Benediction

“The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.

The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.”

A Prayer by Alex Moises

“Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for this day for today I praise God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.

Thank you, Lord, for this day for today I beg for God’s mercy and love.

Thank you, Lord, for this day for today I offer my life to you. 

Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ for today – thank you because of you.”

Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

“God, grant me

the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Lines from Veni Creator by Rabanus Maurus

“Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, and in our souls take up Thy rest; come with Thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.”

Prayer Request by King David

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.”

A Prayer by Mike Pompeo

“O God our Father, thou searcher of men’s heart, help us to draw near to the sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness, and may our worship of thee be natural.”

Mary’s Magnificat

“My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.”
