O Lord God Almighty, who hast given me good parents, that through them I may partake of many benefits; Who desirest that I should be grateful to them for the life which thou hast given me through them, and for all the care which they have had and have for me. I humbly pray to thee for their health and salvation. O God, who art all-merciful, but also all-just, who blessest children for their parents, and often in thy righteous wrath dost punish them for their sins; receive my humble thanksgiving for the benefits which thou hast unceasingly bestowed upon my parents. Send them, O Lord Almighty, Thy blessings also in the future, and forgive them all the faults which they have committed as men.

Prayer for the good end of our lives

Lord Jesus Christ, You who want all people to be saved and no one to perish; You Yourself with Your Divine word said: "Whatever you ask the Father in My name, it will be done for you"; before You I fall with a humble heart and with hot tears, praying with hope for Your mercy, that for the sake of Your Holy Name at the end of my life You would give me a whole mind, true knowledge, a defeat of the heart for the sins of my life, with which I have angered You, complete faith, strong hope, complete love, so that, with a pure heart, I can say: Lord, into Your hands I commit my soul: You who are blessed forever.

Prayer in times of trouble

Image
Lord, the black clouds of misfortunes gather over my head, and tormenting sorrows terrify me. But although I suffer, I do not murmur against You, Most Good One, for You are always my support and the unshakable rock on which my hopes are founded. You know, O God, the causes of my misfortunes and sorrows and care for my fate. Although I suffer, I know that You love me, and this confidence encourages me. Full of hope in Your love and goodness, I will not let the opposition of fate overcome me, but I will fight courageously, and I believe that with Your help I will emerge victorious.  You who govern the world and the fate of mortals, also govern the ship of my life, which is battered by the waves of temptations, to a peaceful haven. May Your wisdom always guide me on the path of goodness and happiness, through the prayers of all Your Saints and Your Most Pure Mother. Amen.
