I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, I love You and I adore You. Dwell in my soul and remain with me always.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to thy word.

And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.

       Hail Mary…

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
