MEMORARE Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, That Never

MEMORARE

Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, My Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful, O Mother of the word incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me! Amen.

PRAYER FOR FAITHFUL DEPARTED CATHOLIC DAUGHTER

O gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on the soul of thy servant ______. Be not severe in thy judgment, but let some drops of thy precious blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do thou, o merciful savior, send thy angels to conduct her to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Amen

PRAYER TO MARY FOR CDA

Remember us O Dearest Mary, Our Mother and patroness of Catholic Daughters. We offer you our works, joys and trials. We ask your intercession as we reach out to women with love and enthusiastic invitations to increase our membership. Help us O Most Holy Virgin, to be faithful to your rosary for peace in our homes, our nation and the world. We ask you to bless and protect our families and guide the unity and charity we do for our Circle of Love. We ask this through your name. Amen.

VOCATION PRAYER

O dearest Jesus, son of the eternal Father and Mary Immaculate, grant to our young people the generosity necessary to follow thy call and the courage required to overcome all obstacles to their vocation. Give to parents that faith, love and spirit of sacrifice which will inspire them to offer their children to God’s service and cause them to rejoice whenever one of their children is called to the religious life. Let your example and that of your Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph encourage both young people and parents and let your grace sustain them. Amen

PRAYER FOR PEACE

It is you, O God, who make us seek what is Holy, choose what is right, and do what is good. Give us, your servants, that Peace which the world cannot give, so that, with hearts bent on your service and fear of enemies taken away, we may live peacefully and quietly under your protection through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE UNBORN

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the Life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE SICK

Father, your Son accepted out sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realize that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

PAST REGENT’S PRAYER

Thank you Lord, for giving us the opportunity to learn and grow in serving as Regent of the special group of women who have joined their hands and hearts as Catholic Daughters of the Americans.

Let us continue to join in the fellowship and work of the CDA and be a source of encouragement to those who follow in leadership roles. Let us always be open to new ideas and welcome new faces as they continue the tradition of excellence that the Catholic Daughters of the America follow.

OPENING ODE

Hail glorious faith of ancient days! Hail Church of God, O flower most fair! We lift the cross beyond the clouds, And find the crown of glory there. As members of a loyal band, We meet today in this fair land, Then swell the chorus sweet and grand, And pledge anew that faith divine.

Hail Emblem of our Country dear! Long may it wave in freedom cause, As Catholic Daughters of the land, We will uphold thy sacred laws, Thy bars reflect the dawn of day, Thy stars are set in Heaven’s array, And With the cross shall lead the way, To God and home triumphantly.

CLOSING ODE

Now Sing each loyal heart, In union, ere we part, And this foreseen, E’en though we number few Much may we dare and do, If to our standards true, We faithful be.

Then let us right the wrong And let our faith be strong Enduring brave; Thus shall all error flee And blest our work shall be, When through true charity, We seek to save.
