All ye holy saints of the Irish nation, make intercession for us.
That Thou, O Lord, wouldst vouchsafe to preserve among us, pure and inviolate, the faith "once delivered" by St. Patrick, We beseech Thee to hear us.
That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to grant unanimity of sentiment and opinion to our prelates and pastors,
That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to increase among us the fervour of the just, and convert sinners,
That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to alleviate our sufferings, and grant us patience in our trials,
That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to bless and protect the children of St. Patrick, in life and death,
That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to conduct them in triumph to Thy heavenly Kingdom,

Lamb of God, etc

Prayer

O Lord God of infinite goodness and mercy, Who with the faith didst plant amongst us the true spirit of St. Patrick, and propagate it abundantly for ages, we humbly beseech that being "the children of the saints," we may never degenerate from their noble sentiments and holy example; but through their powerful intercession, may ever walk worthily in the vocation to which we have been called. Through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Wednesday

Mindful, O Lord, of Thy worshipful passion, I approach Thine altar, sinner though I am, to join in offering unto Thee that sacrifice which Thou hast instituted and commanded to be offered in remembrance of Thee for our well-being. Receive it, I beseech Thee, O God most high, for Thy holy Church, and for the people who Thou hast purchased with Thine own blood. In Thy mercy look down with pity upon us all. Be pleased, O Lord, to have regard unto the sorrows of nations, the troubles of the poor, the groanings of those in bondage, the desolation of orphans, the weariness of wayfarers, the helplessness of the sick, the struggles of the dying, the failing strength of the aged, the trials and ambitious hopes of young men, the high desires of maidens, and the grief of widows.

Prayer for Tuesday

Who can worthily be present at this sacrifice unless Thou, O God, makest him worthy? I know, O Lord, yea, truly do I know, and this do confess to Thy loving kindness, that I am unworthy to approach so great a mystery, by reason of my numberless sins and negligences; but I know, and truly with all my heart do I believe, and with my mouth confess, that Thou canst make me worthy- Thou Who alone canst make that clean which was born unclean- Thou Who alone canst make sinners to be just and holy. By this Thine almighty power I beseech Thee, O my God, to grant that I, a sinner, may assist at this sacrifice with holy fear, with purity of heart, with tears of contrition, with spiritual gladness and heavenly joy. May my soul feel the sweetness of Thy blessed presence, and be comforted by the thought that round about me Thy holy angels keep untiring watch.

A prayer for Monday

King of virgins and lover of chastity and innocence, extinguish in my frame, by the dew of Thy heavenly grace, all flames of unlawful passion, that I may thus for evermore abide before Thee in innocency of body and of soul. Mortify in my members the sting of the flesh, and repress in me every dangerous emotion. Together with all other virtues (each Thine own gift and, in sooth, well pleasing to Thee), clothe me with true and abiding purity, that, unsullied in body and clean in heart, I may this day offer unto Thee the sacrifice of praise.
Yet, how measurelessly deep should not be the contrition of heart, how unceasing the flow of tears, how exceeding the reverence and holy fear, how pure the body, how blameless the soul, of him who offers up a sacrifice that is of heaven and not of earth! Verily, in it, O Christ, is Thy flesh eaten of men; verily, in it do they drink of Thy blood. In it is the lowliness of earth lifted up, to be made one with the majesty of heaven. Thy holy angels, O God, stand indeed round about Thine altar; but it is Thou Thyself Who here, in wondrous and unutterable wise, art at once both priest and victim.
