Spirit of our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, angels, archangels, and saints of Heaven, descend upon me.
Spirit of wisdom and understanding, enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries of the universe in relation to eternity.
Our Father in heaven, how we love you; how you love us.
Saint Joseph, please protect our families from the seductive attractions of the world and the subtle attacks from the evil one. Bless our fathers with the strength, courage, foresight, and self-sacrifice that you possessed in leading and protecting the Holy Family from the many evils of the day.
O God, who in six days made Heaven and Earth, and gave Earth to You children for safekeeping, I make my prayer to You to guard, enlighten and inspire our minds and our bodies so that we are fit for this great task.
Conscious, merciful Saviour, of my nothingness and of thy sublimity, I cast myself at thy feet and thank thee for the many proofs of thy grace shown to me, thy ungrateful creature.
Come, Holy Spirt, enlighten my mind that I may clearly see all my sins.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine.
Bless our food and our drink.
