Below are a collection
of prayers from various sources I found helpful
+
Blessed Mother of those whose names
you can read in my heart, watch over them with every care. Make their way
easy and their labors fruitful. Dry their tears if they weep, sanctify their
joys, raise their courage if they weaken, restore their hope if they lose
heart, their health if they be ill, truth if they err, repentance if they
fall. Amen
+
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your
intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I kneel, sinful
and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but
in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.
+
I believe that You, O Jesus, are the Most Holy Sacrament. I
love You and desire You. Come into my heart. I embrace You. Never leave me.
May the burning and most sweet power of Your Love, O Lord Jesus Christ, absorb
my mind that I may die through love of Your Love, Who were graciously pleased
to die through Love of my love. Amen.

Prayer for asking graces through the intercession of the
Servant of God, Pope John Paul II
O Blessed Trinity
We thank You for having graced the
Church
with Pope John Paul II
and for allowing the tenderness of
your Fatherly care,
the glory of the cross of Christ,
and the splendor of the Holy
Spirit,
to shine through him.
Trusting fully in Your infinite
mercy
and in the maternal intercession
of Mary,
he has given us a living image of
Jesus the Good Shepherd,
and has shown us that holiness
is the necessary measure of
ordinary Christian life
and is the way of achieving
eternal communion with you.
Grant us, by his intercession, and
according to Your will,
the graces we implore,
hoping that he will soon be
numbered
among your saints.
Amen.
With ecclesiastical approval
Cardinal Camillo Ruini
Vicar General, Diocese of Rome

O Most High and Glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my
heart. Give me, Lord, a firm faith, sure hope, perfect love, profound humility
- the sign and knowledge so that I may carry out all of Your commandments.
(Francis of Assisi)

I beg You, most loving Savior, to reveal Yourself to me, that
knowing You I may desire You, that desiring You I may love You, that loving
You I may ever hold You in my thoughts. (Saint Columbanus)

My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you and in
proof of my affection, I give you my eyes, my ears, my tongue, my heart, my
whole being without reserve. SInce I am your own, keep me and guard me as your
property and possession. Amen.
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your
face I humbly kneel. And with burning soul, pray and beseech You to fix deep
in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for
my sins and a firm purpose of amendment. And while I contemplate Your five
precious wounds, I call to mind that which David said of You my Jesus,
"They have pierced my hands and my feet. They have numbered all my bones."
Amen.

My dear Jesus, as we begin to more deeply ebter Your passion of grace, embrace
us and help us always to see Your care and Your wonderful desire to walk with
us in faith. Ask Your Mother Mary to stay with us. Amen.
Father of mercy, hear the prayers of Your repentant
children. who call on You in love. Enlighten our minds and sanctify our
hearts. We ask all these things through Jesus, our Lord and Brother. Amen
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my
memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I
possess You have given me: I surrender it
all to You to be disposed of
according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I
will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more.
