The Prayer for Controlling Anger

O Lord, must I fear Your wrath?


Retribution is Yours by right!

May I never dishonour Your Divinity,

My soul seeking to maintain Your love.

Shape my being into earnest kindness,

A reflection of Your perfection.

Grant me the grace of self-control,

That I may not display any anger.

Should I have such an outburst,

Instantly remind me to seek redress,

For such is offensive to You.

Anger is Yours alone to avenge!

A Marriage Prayer

We thank You, O God, for the love You have implanted in our hearts.

May it always inspire us to be kind in our words, considerate of feelings, and concerned for each other's needs and wishes.
Help us to be understanding and forgiving of human weaknesses and failings.
Increase our faith and trust in You and may Your prudence guide our life and love.
Bless our marriage, O God, with peace and happiness, and make our Love fruitful for Your glory and our joy both here and in eternity.

A Marriage Blessing

Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us.

To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us.
We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.
Dear Lord, we put our marriage into Your hands.
Amen

Easter Prayer

Lord, the resurrection of Your Son


has given us new life and renewed hope.

Help us to live as new people

in pursuit of the Christian ideal.

Grant us wisdom to know what we must do,

the will to want to do it,

the courage to undertake it,

the perseverance to continue to do it,

and the strength to complete it.

Happy 80th Birthday Prayer - Dad

Heavenly Father,

We praise You for all Your gifts to us

In a special way,

We thank You for our parents

Bless them always in Your love

Bless us too, Holy Father,

for our father’s 80th birthday which we celebrate today

Give him health, strength, and peace,

and love him as You always have

Thank you Holy Father for letting me fly from overseas to be with him on this special day

I never thought I would be able to make it but you made all arrangements for me to be there

and make him so happy.

Being his only daughter he would have been so disappointed if I hadn't been there to celebrate it with him

I was so sad that when days became closer and when I thought I would not be able to make it but it is a miracle that everything worked out for me to arrive on time for this special day.

Thank you Holy Father I will always  praise You and give You glory

Through Jesus Christ our Lord

Amen.

Prayer To St. Michael The Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Prayer For Courage

Dear God, give me courage,
for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats
and against their seductions.
I need courage to bear unkindness,
mockery, contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil,
against terrors and troubles, temptations,
attractions, darkness and false lights,
against tears, depression, and above all fear.

I need Your help, dear God.
Strengthen me with Your love and Your grace.
Console me with Your blessed Presence
and grant me the courage to persevere
until I am with You forever in heaven.
