With one heart the disciples continued steadfast in prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
(Acts 1:14)
Lord our God, as the Blessed Virgin was at prayer with the apostles You poured out on her in abundance the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Grant through her intercession that we too, being filled with the same Spirit, may persevere with one mind in prayer and bring to the world around us the good news of salvation. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus
I Commit this Day to You
Merciful Heart of Jesus, today, in return for Your great love for me, I renew the covenant of love I made with You on the day of my Baptism and which You renew each time You offer Yourself to the Father in the Eucharist. I consecrate myself, family, and all my undertakings to Your loving Heart. I offer to bring the message of love and mercy that emanates from Your Sacred Heart to all who will listen. “Send forth Your Holy Spirit and You shall renew the face of the earth!”
I ask this through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Mother.

The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but, in thy mercy, hear and answer them. Amen.
