Prayer for the Intercession of Saint Charles
Heavenly
Father, you filled Saint Charles with your Holy Spirit. In love with
Christ Crucified he spent his life in prayer at the foot of the Cross.
From the Cross he went forth to bring Good News to the poor, healing
to the sick and dying, forgiveness to the sinner.
Look now on your people who cry to you. Through the intercession of
Saint Charles give us the graces we need.
Heal our aches and pains, our hurts and wounds, our anxieties and bad
memories. Free us from depressions, habits of sin, and all evil. Strengthen
our faith, deepen our hope, and increase our love.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father.
Prayer
said by Saint Charles to Our Lady, Mother of Holy Hope.
Most
Holy Virgin Mary Oh, my Mother! How sweet it is to come to thy feet,
imploring thy perpetual help! If earthly mothers cease not to remember
their children, how canst thou, the most loving of all mothers, forget
me?
Grant then, to me, I implore thee, thy perpetual help in all my necessities,
in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations.
As we are all thy children, I ask for thy unceasing help for all who
are now suffering. Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners, and
console all earthly mothers who are now weeping over their children.
Open the gates of heaven to those we loved upon earth and who are now
suffering in purgatory.
Obtain for us, dear Mother, that having earnestly invoked thee on earth,
we may see thee, love thee, and eternally thank thee hereafter in heaven.
Amen.
Mother of Holy Hope, pray for us.
St. Charles and the 'miracle prayer'
Saint Charles gave this prayer to a young girl, Pauline, advising her to say it everyday saying that he desired that she become a great saint. The family called it the ‘miracle prayer'
O Mary, my Mother,
And my surest hope
Pray for me
And never permit me
To offend your Divine Son.
Give me strength, O Lord,
To do Thy Holy Will.
O Sweet Heart of my Jesus
Inflame my poor heart
With thy Holy Love.
Amen.
