Feast: August 19th
O Lord, Thou hast created me for Thyself, to love Thee and to enjoy Thee, infinite Good, ineffable Beauty; do not permit me to lose sight of this sublime end toward which I must tend; do not permit me to wander among the wretched satisfactions that vain, feeble creatures can offer me. O my Lord, what poor use I have made of creatures! Pardon me, O Lord. Henceforth I do not want to use anything unless it is for Thy glory and according to Thy holy will, as Thy Son Jesus did. O my God, if in the past I have turned aside from Thee Who art my Beginning, my End, and my supreme good; if I have turned toward myself and creatures, preferring their will and mine to Thine, I here and now promise to renounce, entirely and forever, the world and myself, and to give myself wholly and forever to Thee. O my God, I give myself to Thee as my Beginning; take complete possession of me. May I always abide in Thee! Be the beginning and end of all my actions. O my God, I give myself to Thee as my End, my Center, my supreme Good. Draw me to Thee! Make me tend continually toward Thee. Be my delight, my glory, my treasure, my all!
Amen.

Prayer for the Triumph of the Catholic Faith

Prayer for the Triumph of the Catholic Faith
Almighty and eternal God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we kneel before Your Majesty, and thank You from the depth of our soul for the inestimable gift of the Catholic Faith, which you have deigned to reveal to us through Jesus Christ, True God and True man. We received this divine light in holy baptism and have promised You to keep this faith inviolate until death.
Increase in us Your gift of the Catholic Faith. By Your grace, may it be strengthened and made unshakeable. Daily increase in us the understanding of the beauty and profoundness of the Catholic Faith, that we might live in the deep joy of Your divine truth and be ready to sacrifice all things rather than compromise on or betray this faith. Grant us the grace to be resolved to undergo a thousand deaths for even one article of the Creed.
Graciously receive our act of humble reparation for all the sins committed against the Catholic Faith by the laity and clergy, especially by high-ranking clergy who, contrary to the solemn promise they made at their Ordination to be teachers and defenders of the integrity of the Catholic Faith, have become champions of heresy, poisoning the flock entrusted to them and gravely offending the Divine Majesty of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Truth.
Grant us the grace to see all the events of our life, and the immense trials our Holy Mother Church is now undergoing, in the supernatural light of faith. May we believe that You will cause to arise from today’s vast spiritual desert a renewed flourishing of faith that will adorn the garden of the Church with new works of faith and give rise to a new age of faith.
We firmly believe that the Catholic Faith is the one true faith and religion, which you invite every person freely to embrace. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the destroyer of all heresies, and the great Martyrs and Confessors of the faith, may the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith triumph again in the Church and the world, so that no soul may be lost but rather come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of mankind, and through a right faith and righteous life attain eternal beatitude in You, O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To You be given all honour and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Thanksgiving for the Graces Bestowed on the Blessed Virgin
When St. Gertrude had recited this short prayer, she saw in vision the Mother of divine grace arise and beseech the Blessed Trinity to grant her as large a measure of grace as the heart of man can receive in this life. Then the most glorious Trinity turned towards the saint, and filled her soul with unutterable grace and benediction.
Blessed be the ineffable, ever adorable omnipotence of God the Father; and blessed the wondrous and manifold wisdom of God the Son; and blessed the amazing and most tender goodness of the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete; for that ever-glorious Trinity hath deigned to decree from eternity, to create in time, and to bestow on us as our most effectual help and succor, the Virgin so full of all grace, in order that He might communicate to her His own divine and super-abounding beatitude. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Philomena
ST. PHILOMENA, behold me before the bright throne whereon the august Trinity hath set thee wearing thy double crown of virginity and martyrdom; behold, I lift suppliant hands to thee. Even the most cruel sufferings could not diminish the devotion of thy generous heart to the Celestial Lover Who was thy joy. And now thy Lord, to recompense these sufferings, wills to glorify thee by the mightiness of thy intercessions. Therefore it is to thee that I lift my suppliant hands. Ah! from the heights of the heavenly country, deign to cast a glance on me, thy humble client. O pure Virgin, O holy martyr, solace me in suffering and temptation, sustain me in trial and persecution, and assist me in danger, above all at the awful hour of death, when I shall have to combat all the powers of hell; pray for me in that final moment upon which my eternity hangs.
Hail Philomena, pearl of virgins, generous spouse of the King of kings! Hail, flower of martyrs, living host of Christ! Refuse not the succor of thy prayer to those who invoke it venerating thy merits. Amen.

Three Efficacious Petitions to the Blessed Virgin
When St. Gertrude recited these three petitions, which she had learned of the Blessed Virgin, it seemed to her as though she were so clothed and adorned with her surpassing merits, that the Lord of Majesty took ineffable delight in her.
O most Blessed Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by the most spotless purity wherewith thou didst prepare in thy womb a still and glad abode for the Son of God, that by thy intercessions I may be cleansed from every stain.
O most Blessed Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by that thy most gentle, deep humility whereby thou didst merit to be raised high above all angels and saints, that by thy intercessions all my negligences may be forgiven and satisfied for.
O most Blessed Virgin Mary, I implore thee by that unutterable love which united thee inseparably to God, that by thy intercessions I may receive an abundance of all merit. Amen.
