Lord, I come to you for help.
Life is full of trials and turmoil.
Sometimes it gets the best of even the strongest of your people.
You, Lord, are the one to turn to.
I am in need of your guidance through this time.
Lord, show me the way to obtain strength 
to combat the trials of life.
I know your love is infinite.
Because of your infinite love, 
peace can be obtained.
With strength and peace I can face turmoil.
With all that life has to offer,
Allow me to see your will in all that I do.

God of all, we pray for those who respond at the first call,
For those who rush toward danger, bringing hope and comfort;
For those who serve, protect and guide others to safety.
Keep them in Your care and safely protect them as they follow Your command to love their neighbors.

Amen

O glorious St. Joseph,
foster father of Jesus,
you did provide for the Holy Family.
We commit to your protection all our crops and farm industries.
We beseech you, to intercede in our behalf
with Almighty God, 
Who rules the seasons,
so that our fields being safe from pests and favored by the weather
may yield abundant crops
that will allow us to supply the wants of life.
So that freed from earthly worries
we may follow after your example
apply all our thoughts to eternal life.
We beseech you
to instill a love of the land into the hearts of our youth
for their own salvation and that of Christian unity
so that we may all share hereafter
in the same blissful life you enjoy in heaven.

Amen.

Mother of Mercy, 
Teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, 
to you, who come to meet us sinners, 
we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. 
We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, 
our infirmities and our sorrows. 
Grant peace, justice and prosperity to our peoples; 
for we entrust to your care all that we have 
and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. 
We wish to be entirely yours 
and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness 
to Jesus Christ in His Church; 
hold us always with your loving hand.

O Holy Spirit,
I humbly implore You,
be with me always
so that in all things,
I may act under the influence
of Your holy inspiration.

Amen.

O Jesus, come back into our society,
our family life, our souls
and reign there as our peaceful sovereign.
Enlighten with the splendor of faith
and the charity of your tender heart
the souls of those who work 
for the good of the people, for your poor.
Impart in them your own spirit,
a spirit of discipline, order and gentleness,
preserving the flame of enthusiasm 
ever alight in their hearts.
May that day come very soon,
when we shall see you 
restored to the center of civic life,
borne on the shoulders of your joyful people.

Amen.

O Holy Mother,
Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life, 
with the same love with which you conceived in your womb 
the life of the Son of God. 
Blessed Virgin Mary, 
protect our families, 
so that they may always be united, 
and bless the upbringing of our children.

Our hope, look upon us with compassion, 
teach us to go continually to Jesus and, 
if we fall, help us to rise again, to return to Him, 
by means of the confession of our faults and sins 
in the Sacrament of Penance, 
which gives peace to the soul.
