Afternoon Prayer

[George]

Let us pray

Praise the Lord of all the saints and angels
who dwell in light inaccessible
but come to us in Christ Jesus,
the one mediator between heaven and earth.
By the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and the whole company of heaven,
may we strive for holiness
that purifies and exalts all God's chosen ones.
We ask this through the same Christ our Lord
Amen

O God, come to my assistance
O Lord, make haste to help me
Come, Lord, with all your saints
and bring us into glory everlasting
Amen

Thank You God for all the blessings You have ever given me, especially on this day.

Lord Jesus Christ,
We worship You living among us
in the sacrament of Your body and blood.
May we offer to our Father in heaven
a solemn pledge of undivided love.
May we offer to our brothers and sisters
a life poured out in loving service of that kingdom
where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit
one God, forever and ever
Amen

Blessed be Jesus in the most holy sacrament of the altar!
Blessed be His Holy Name, now and forever

Lord Jesus, man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief,
lodge in our hearts the image of Your betrayal,
Your arrest and trial before the high priests,
and Your mockery and mistreatment.
By the miseries of Your passion,
grant us contrition for all our sins,
and heartfelt compassion for Your sufferings
at the hands of wicked men.
Your reign is a reign for all ages.
Amen

O God come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
We adore You, O Christ, and bless you,
For by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world
Amen

See if there is any sorrow like mine

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

bless us with her Holy Child

The Golden Arrow Prayer.
Eternal Father,
turn away Your angry gaze from our guilty people
whose face has become unsightly in Your eyes.
Look instead upon the Face of Your Beloved Son,
for this is the Face of Him
in Whom You are well pleased.
We now offer You this Holy Face,
covered with shame and disfigured by bloody bruises
in reparation for the crimes of our age
in order to appease Your anger,
justly provoked against us.
Because Your Divine Son, our Redeemer,
has taken upon His Head all the sins of His members,
that they might be spared,
we now beg of You, Eternal Father,
to grant us mercy.
Amen

[George]

Most High God,
You raised Your dear Son from the grave
and enthroned Him in glory at Your right hand.
By the power of His Holy Cross,
raise our hearts and minds to You,
and bring us into everlasting bliss;
through the same Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen

Let us bless the Lord, Alleluia, Alleluia,
Thanks be to God, Alleluia, Alleluia

May our radiant Christ
lead us from earth to heaven,
from death to life.
Amen

O God, come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
I shall not die, but I shall live
and recount the deeds of the Lord
Amen
