Prayer to say when facing an overwhelming temptation
From time to time we find ourselves faced with a serious temptation especially those ones we are most prone to. I have found that recourse to God and his Saints goes a long way to mitigate or even eliminate our subseptability to such temptations.
Arming yourself with God’s grace is the sure way to conquer. If you do not pray, you are almost guaranteed to fail. Here’s our suggestion:
By that singular predilection, O glorious Saint Lucy, which thy immaculate Spouse, Jesus Christ, had for thee, when by an unheard of miracle He rendered thee immovable in spite of all the attempts of thy enemies to drag thee into a place of sin and infamy, obtain for me the grace never to yield to the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and the fight constantly against their assaults by the continual mortification of all my senses.
Pray for us, O blessed Lucy.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us Pray.
Mercifully hear us, O God of our salvation, that even as we rejoice in the constant faith of blessed Lucy, thy Virgin and Martyr, so we may be instructed in sentiments of loving devotion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for healing
Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love;
in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions.
Thoroughly wash away my guilt;
and from my sin cleanse me.
For I know my transgressions;
my sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your eyes
So that you are just in your word,
and without reproach in your judgment.
Behold, I was born in guilt,
in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, you desire true sincerity;
and secretly you teach me wisdom.
Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
You will let me hear gladness and joy;
the bones you have crushed will rejoice.
Turn away your face from my sins;
blot out all my iniquities.
A clean heart create for me, God;
renew within me a steadfast spirit.
Do not drive me from before your face,
nor take from me your holy spirit.
Restore to me the gladness of your salvation;
uphold me with a willing spirit.
Lord, you will open my lips;
and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
For you do not desire sacrifice or I would give it;
a burnt offering you would not accept.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn.

A Prayer After Confession by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
My dearest Jesus, I have told all my sins as well as I could. I tried hard to make a good confession. I feel sure that you have forgiven me. I thank You. It is only because of all Your sufferings that I can go to confession and free myself from my sins. Your Heart is full of love and mercy for poor sinners. I love You because You are so good to me. My loving Saviour, I shall try to keep from sin and to love You more each day. My dear Mother Mary, pray for me and help me to keep my promises. Protect me and do not let me fall back into sin. Almighty God, kneeling before Your Divine Majesty, I adore You and because You command me, I dare approach Your divine Heart. But what shall I say if You do not enlighten me with a ray of Your divine light?
Speak to my soul, O Lord, and command me to listen to Your voice. Enlighten my will to put Your words into practice. Pour Your grace into my heart; lift up my soul weighed down by my sins; raise my mind to heavenly things, so that earthly desires may no longer appeal to me. Speak to my soul with Your divine omnipotence, for You are my salvation, my life, and my peace, in time and in eternity. Strengthen me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit and give Your peace to my soul that I may be free from all needless worry and care. Help me to desire always that which is pleasing and acceptable to You so that Your Will may be my will, Grant that I may rid myself of all unholy desires, and that for Your love I may remain unknown in this world, and be known only to You.
Do not permit me to attribute to myself the good that You perform in me and through me, but rather, referring all honor to Your majesty, may I glory only in my weakness, so that renouncing sincerely all vain glory which comes from the world, I may aspire to the true and lasting glory which comes from you. Amen.

Prayer to St. Marguerite Bourgeoys for selflessness
O Mother Bourgeoys, you, whose compassionate power is ever increasing, show us your way of Truth, Faith and Holiness.
Make us humble enough to abandon ourselves to the Will of God, generous enough to find in the Cross the joy of the Loving Giver.
May your fidelity to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament lead us ever nearer to this source of light and peace. May your spirit of openness help us to be concerned for our brothers and sisters throughout the world.

Prayer to Mary to protect your family from death and Satan
A prayer to the virgin Mary for the protection of one’s family from death and Satan is an utterance of profound faith, asking for her advocacy as the mother of all who believe in her. Mary, known for her holiness, compassion, and an influential role in the heavenly domain, is often called upon for protection, especially in times of Vulnerability or spiritual battle.
The following prayer can be presented in times of distress:
“Blessed Mary, Mother of God, I come to you with a heart full of Assurance and love, asking for your protection over my life and family. Preserve us from all harm, from the Ambushes of the enemy, and from the shadow of death. Cover us with your mantle of grace, yielding us from Satan’s wicked Layouts. Keep our hearts determined in faith and our lives guided by the glory of Christ. I entrust my loved ones to your motherly care, knowing that with your intercession, we can find dominion and peace. Through your holy protection, may we remain safe from all dangers, both seen and unseen. Lead us closer to your Son, Jesus Christ, that we may live in His love and truth. Amen.”
This prayer seeks the help of the Blessed Mary in shielding both against physical dangers and spiritual threats, offering a plea for peace and safety. Her intercession is believed to be a shield that brings families closer to God while protecting them from evil forces.
