Prayers During the Day
On Going Out in the Morning
SHOW me, O Lord, Thy ways, and teach me Thy paths. Direct my steps according to Thy word, that no injustice may rule over me. Make perfect my walking in Thy paths, that my footsteps may not be moved. Jesus and Mary, we pray, be with us on our way.
To the Guardian Angel
ANGEL of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side.
To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
(Ind. of 100 days each time. — Leo XIII. Aug. 19, 1893.)
On Going into Church
O LORD, in the multitude of Thy mercies, I will enter into Thy house, and worship Thee in Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name.
At Taking Holy Water
SPRINKLE me, O Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be made whiter than the snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
