Start and end every prayer
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Little prayers, big hearts
Prayers to learn
Print a sheet of four cards to cut out, one each for the table, the bedside, the Mass bag and Grandma. Tracing sheets help little hands learn the words.
The prayer Jesus taught us
The Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
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.
Asking Mary to pray for us
The 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.
Praising God
The 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.
Before we eat
Grace before Meals
Bless us, O Lord,
and these thy gifts,
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
At bedtime
Angel of God
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love
commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
Amen.
A little prayer for any time
Jesus, I Trust in You
Jesus,
I trust in You.
