Unfortunately, we often spell our prayer life something like S.C.A. T., because we start with supplication and spend very little time, if any, on adoration, confession, and thanksgiving. The Lord’s Prayer. When we look at the Lord’s Prayer, we see adoration at least implied in the petition “Hallowed be Your name.”. Traditional Catholic prayers are like family heirlooms passed on from generation to generation. They include many of the best known Catholic prayers such as The Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, and Apostles' Creed. Browse the list below to find traditional prayers of the Catholic faith, prayers of intercession, devotions to Mary and more.

There are times when life is so busy, we almost feel like we are in survival mode.

There are other times when our heart has been hurt, and we just don’t have the joy or energy to pray.

In times like these, we need quick, but powerful, prayers!

1. Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.

I am sure Jesus could have looked at the man nailing Him to the cross and thought, “he knows perfectly well what he is doing!” We don’t know why people hurt us, but boy, they do sometimes, don’t they? This prayer is often not easy to say, but Our Lord showed us the way. You can now purchase this print as an instant download!

2. Lord, help me.

Graces

Sometimes, that is all we can muster up. It’s still a prayer, especially when we feel it deep on our heart. God hears you, ask Him for help.

3. Lord, open all the right doors and close all the wrong ones.

I got this one from Joel Olsteen. My husband and I prayed this prayer when we were discerning our adoption path (domestic v. international). The Lord slammed shut international doors and we chose domestic. I am still so thankful I heard this prayer suggested by him!

4. God, help me be who You want me to be and set the world on fire!

St. Catherine of Siena is credited with saying, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire!” I have turned that quote into a prayer . . . a prayer I really love to say!

5. Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.

Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said that whenever you feel distressed during the day, pray this prayer. She said that this prayer had never failed her. Her wisdom and life are a great example so it certainly can not hurt to take her advice!

6. Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace.

Sure, there is a longer version of this prayer, but this statement itself is quite a powerful petition. There are many times when we can feel ourselves reacting . . . that is the perfect time to stop and pray this prayer.

7. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Catholic Exchange has a great article on the sign of the cross, in it the author notes:

” ‘. . . the sign is itself a prayer. If prayer, at its core, is “an uprising of the mind to God,” as St. John Damscene put it, then the Sign of the Cross assuredly qualifies. “No empty gesture, the sign of the cross is a potent prayer that engages the Holy Spirit as the divine advocate and agent of our successful Christian living,'”

8. Thank you God for every breath I take.

Last summer I listened to Gianna Emmanuela talk about her faith as well as the faith of her mother, her father. I was blown away with the constant expression of gratitude she said her father had, even after the death of his wife and child. I thought, how can one always be so grateful??? When I asked Gianna Emanuela about that she simply, but firmly responded, “I thank God for every breath I take!” Read more about this incredible experience here: 5 Lessons I Learned from The Daughter of a Saint

9. Jesus, I love You.

I have a difficult time shutting my mind off and trying to listen. Today in adoration I prayed this short prayer over and over again in the hopes that I would quiet my mind and allow Our Lord to “rearrange some furniture in my brain”. I’ll let you know how that worked 😉

10. “Dear Loving God, I am very sorry for sinning” or “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Saint Therese’ said that for her, prayer as a “burst from my heart . . .” If you feel sorrow for a sin, tell the Lord simply. This is a great prayer! As Catholics, we have the opportunity and gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation which gives us a grace that no prayer alone can give, but until you get there, this prayer is a wonderful “burst of the heart”!
11. Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with wisdom.

Knowing God’s will is not always easy or obvious. This prayer can lead us in the right direction.

These short prayers are great to hang up on your mirror, use as a bookmark, put in your car and or hold in your wallet. Here is a printable made just for you! Print them out and cut each prayer strip to place in your spouse’s lunch bag, your own gym bag or anywhere that will remind you to just look up!

Irish prayer can often sound more beautiful in Gaelic. I have put together a collection of prayers in both Irish Gaelic and English and include prayers for weddings and funerals. Devotion to Mary, Mother of God remains very strong in Ireland and I have a included a number of prayers in this category.

Most common Gaelic and Irish Prayers

COMHARTHA NA CROISE

In ainm an Athar agus an Mhic agus an Spioraid Naoimh. Amen.

SIGN OF THE CROSS

In the name of the Father and the the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

ÁR nATHAIR

Ár nAthair,
atá ar neamh,
go naomhaítear d'ainm.
Go dtaga do ríocht.
Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh mar a dhéantar ar neamh.
Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu
agus maith dúinn ar bhfiacha
mar a mhaithimidne dár bhfeichiúna féin;
agus ná lig sinn i gcathú,
ach saor sinn ó olc. Amen

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father,
Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.Amen

SÉ DO BHEATHA

Sé do bheatha a Mhuire,
atá lán de ghrásta;
tá an Tiarna leat,
is beannaithe thú idir mná
agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Íosa.
A Naomh Mhuire, a mhathair Dé,
guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.

HAIL MARY PRAYER

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death. Amen

GLÓIR DON ATHAIR

Glóir don Athair,

agus don Spiorad Naomh.
Mar a bhí ar dtús,
mar atá fós,

le saol na saol. Amen.

THE GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

CRÉ NA nASPAL

Creidim i nDia, an tAthair uilechumhachtach,
cruthaitheoir neimhe agus talún;
agus in Íosa Críost,
a aon mhacsan, ár dTiarna,
a gabhadh on Spiorad Naomh,
a rugadh ó Mhuire Ógh;
a d'fhulaing páis faoi Phontius Píoláit,
a céasadh ar chrois, a fuair bás agus a adhlacadh;
a chuaigh síos go hifreann,
a d'éirigh an treas lá ó mhairbh;
a chuaigh suas ar neamh;
atá ina shuí ar dheis Dé,
an tAthair uilechumhachtach ;
as sin tiocfaidh sé chun breithiúnas a thabhairt
ar bheo agus ar mhairbh.
Creidim sa Spiorad Naomh,
sa NaomhEaglais Chaitliceach,
i gcomaoin na naomh;
i maithiúnas na bpeacaí,
in aiséirí na colainne,
agus sa bheatha shíoraí. Amen.

THE APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day He rose again,
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty.
He will come again to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

AN MAGNIFICAT

Mórann m’anam an Tiarna, agus rinne mo spiorad gairdeas i nDia, mo shláinaitheoir;
Óir dhearc sé le fabhar ar ísle a bhanóglaigh, Mar féach, déarfaidh na glúine uile feasta gur méanar dom.

Prayers and graces outlander lists list

Óir rinne an Té atá cumhachtach nithe móra dom
agus is naofa a ainm.
Agus tá a thrócaire ó ghlúin go glúin,
dóibh seo ar a mbíonn a eagla.

Thaispeáin sé neart a láimhe.
Scaip sé an dream a bhí uaibhreach i smaointe a gcroí.
Leag sé prionsaí óna gcathaoireacha
agus d’ardaigh se daoine ísle.
Líon sé lucht an ocrais le nithe maithe
agus chuir sé na saibhre uaidh folamh.

Apple dmg no mountable file systemsanfranciscotree. Also, if the “ hdiutil attach disk.dmg ” isn’t working and giving the same no mountable file systems issue, then you can try the following commands below: Press Command + Space buttons to click magnifying glass at the upper right corner of your screen Search for “ Terminal ” and Enter to open it. Apparently, if there are too many dmg files open, the no mountable file system Mac error is caused. Disable if you have enabled any restrictions that need permissions or prevents accessibility to external drives (thumb drives, optical drives, etc.). Try mounting the disk image file in the command line in Terminal. I've tried them on a friends Mac, the same files, same operating system version, same version of hdiutil, and they mount no problem. Mac OS extended file system DMGs will mount OK on my Mac, I've not tried FAT32. Below is an example of the output from hdiutil mount MacFUSE-2.1.dmg -verbose Initializing. If you see the 'no mountable file systems error' while opening a dmg, here's what you should try: In most cases, the downloaded dmg file is actually corrupt or had an error downloading. If possible, try downloading the dmg again, turning off any download assistant plug-ins you may have. Notarize a dmg 'no mountable file systems' Suddenly the notarization service failed with message: 'b'hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems ', but I can mount the dmg in my mac. Until few days ago, notarization by same build process on CI works as expected.

D’fhóir sé ar Iosrael, a sheirbhíseach, ag cuimhneamh dó ar a thrócaire

Glóir don Athair agus don mhac agus don Spiorad Naomh; mar a bhí ar dtús, mar atá anois agus mar a bhéas go brách le saol na saol. Amen.

MAGNIFICAT

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
for he has looked with
favour on his lowly servant,
and from this day all generations will call me blessed.

The Almighty has done great things for me:
holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and has sent the rich away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirat, as it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be. Amen.

Nár chualathas trácht ar éinne riamh a chuir é féin faoi do choimirce ná a d’iarr cabhair ort ná a d’impigh d’idirghuí is gur theip tú air.

Is chugatsa a thagaim, is os do chomhair a sheasaim, i mo pheacach bocht atuirseach.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Irish Wedding Prayer

Irish Prayer in Gaelic

Go n-éirí Dia is bhur bpósadh libh.

Mar gheall air sin, fágfaidh duine a athair agus a mháthair chun bheith go dlúth i bpáirt lena bhean, agus aon cholainn amháin a bheidh sa bheirt acu.' Dá réir sin, ní beirt iad feasta ach aon cholainn amháin. Dá bhrí sin, an ní a cheangail Dia ná scaoileadh duine é (Marta 19:5-6)

Irish Prayer in English

May God and your marriage bring you joy.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate. (Matthew 19:5-6,)

A chlann dhílis Dé, tá sibh tar éis teacht go dtí an eaglais seo chun go mbuailfeadh Dia séala naofa ar bhur ngrá i láthair an tsagairt agus an phobail seo.
Is cuing naofa é an pósadh Críostaí agus cuireann sé bláth ar an ngrá nádúrtha. Ceanglaíonn sé orthu siúd a bhíonn páirteach ann bheith dílis dá chéile go deo.
Bunaíonn sé eatarthu ceangal a mhaireann ar feadh a saoil agus nach féidir a bhriseadh.
Éilíonn sé go mbeadh grá agus meas acu ar a chéile, (go nglacfaidís ó Dhia le cibé leanaí a bhronnfadh sé orthu agus go dtógfaidís iad i ngrá Dé).
Mar chabhair dóibh ina bpósadh dáiltear ar an lánúin grásta buanseasmhach na sacraiminte.

Beloved children of God, you have come to this church for God to put his holy seal on your love in the presence of the priest and this congregation.
Christian marriage is a holy bond, and it beautifies natural love.
It binds those who take part in it to be faithful to one another for ever.

It creates a bond between them which lasts for life and which cannot be broken.
It requires that they love and respect one another (and that they accept from God any children whom He bestows upon them and raise them in the love of God).
As an assistance to them in their marriage, the lasting grace of the sacrament is bestowed upon the couple.

Fad ar do shaoil agus laethanta geala is nár fhágair an saol seo go mbréagfar do leanbh.

May you have a long life and days of sunshine, and may you not leave this life till your child falls in love.

Guímis ar ár ngaolta atá marbh agus orthu siúd go léir a bhí go maith dúinn. Go bhfáiltí Dia rompu isteach sa solas soilseach ina láthair féin.

A Thiarna éist linn.

A Thiarna bí ceansa agus éist linn
