[Shin]

Lord may you forever reign in our souls, and purify our hearts this day,
protecting us from the evil one.
Grant us clear sight and constant gratitude for your gifts, O Lord.
Kyrie eleison.

St. Michael protect us.

"O Holy Spirit
soul of my soul
I adore you.
Enlighten
guide,
strengthen and console me.
Tell me what I ought to do
and command me to do it.
I promise to submit to everything
that you ask of me
and to accept all
that you allow to happen to me.
Just show me what is your will."
Amen!

God of might and majesty,
in your incarnate Son you speak the truth
that the world awaits.
May his divine voice call us to worship
the splendor of your holy Name
and humble us before your might
until we all shout "Glory" in your temple.
Blessed be the name of Jesus, now and forever!
Amen

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

Saint Michael the Archangel ,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the power of God -
thrust into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

is now, and ever shall be,

For the Conversion of the Infidels
by St. Francis Xavier, from the Raccolta (favored by Pope Bl. Pius IX)

O Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember that the souls of infidels have been created by Thee out of nothing, and formed after Thine image and likeness. Behold, O Lord, to the dishonour of Thy name, Hell is being filled with these souls. Remember that Jesus Christ, Thy only Son, for their salvation suffered a most cruel death. Do not permit, O Lord, I beseech Thee, that Thy Divine Son be any longer despised by infidels but rather, being appeased by the prayers of Thy Saints and of the Church, the most holy Spouse of Thy Son, vouchsafe to be mindful of Thy mercy; and forgetting their idolatry and their infidelity, bring them also to know Him whom Thou didst send, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who is our health, life and resurrection, through Whom we have been saved and redeemed to whom be all glory forever.

Aeterne rerum omnium effector Deus, memento abs te animas infidelum procreatas, easque ad imaginem et similitudinem tuam conditas. Ecce, Do mine, in opprobrium tuum his ipsis infernus impletur. Memento, Jesum Filium tuum pro illorum salute atrocissimam subiisse necem. Noli, quaeso, Domine, ultra permittere, ut Filius tuus ab infidelibus contemnatur; sed precibus sanctorum virorum et Ecclesiae sanctissimi Filii tui Sponsae placatus, recordare misericordiae tuae, et oblitus idololatriae et infidelitatis eorum, dice ut ipsi quoque agnoseant aliquando, quem misisti Dominum Jestum Christum, qui est salus, vita, et resurretico nostra, per quem salvati et liberati sumus: cui sit gloria per infinita saecula saeculorum.

[odhiambo]

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise will be ever on my lips.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
now, and forever
Amen!
