Prayers

 These picture cards would be great of a rosary prayer chain:

These are the prayers I printed and pasted cardstock and made into "prayer chains" for my First Communion students.  Each week the students have the opportunity to recite a prayer through memorization and earn a sticker for the bucket and ribbon for their chain (kinda of like karate belts).  The kids love it.  I make sure to laminate the prayers and stick them on a metal ring.  I encourage the students to say a prayer every night for a week or stick their prayer to the bathroom mirror so they can practice while brushing their teeth.  Our priest wanted the Seven Sacraments and the Ten Commandments also memorized so we added them to the chain.
(I wish the clip art I used would show up on the blog.)  Each prayer has a picture to go with it and the Seven Sacraments had a symbolic clipart to go with each sacrament.  I gave these out at the first class so the students and families could start right away.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace                       
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

 

 

Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

 

 

Act of Contrition

 

My God,

I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.

In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,

I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.

I firmly intend, with your help,

to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. 

Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. 

In his name, my God, have mercy.

 

 

 

Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide. Amen
