With these words the apostles asked Jesus to teach them how to speak to his Father as Jesus did. Jesus’ reply was the Our Father. The fundamental attitude of prayer is childlike trust in a Father who loves us as his very dear children. Prayer is not “technique,” nor is it a “posture”; prayer is an act of love from a child to his or her heavenly Father. Just as our spirit is housed in a body, our acts of love are “housed” in the words of prayer. The Our Father, the foundation of all vocal prayer, is first an act of love; the words are its vehicle. All words of Christian prayer are effective only insofar as they “house” the love of our heart. And the human heart expresses its love in various ways—adoration, love, thanksgiving, and petition (asking)—in order to receive love in return. We remember this by the word A.L.T.A.R. —Adore, Love, Thank, Ask, Receive. The words of our prayers take on the various shapes of our desires. Therefore, there are many types of prayers, but all of them must express the fundamental act of love: humble trust of a child to his or her heavenly Father. The Church, through her saints, has handed on many, many prayers to capture the various desires and movements of the heart. Some of these prayers are so fundamental that the Church has proclaimed some of them to be “exemplars” of prayer. These prayers are found in the Handbook of Indulgences. Indulgences are the various actions and prayers that the Church highlights as basic, constitutive elements of a life of prayer. Indulgences are “grace upon grace” (John 1:16) such that one who patterns his life on indulgences thereby patterns his life on the model of the saints. The primary purpose of this book is to be an education on the words of prayer. It presents all of the indulgenced verbal prayers in a one-week cycle, broken up according to days. The days are dedicated to various Christian mysteries. A person who flips through this book will see many different forms, and words, of prayer. It is my hope that you find inspiration in this book to find a new rhythm of prayer, learn the basic foundations of prayers, and find new ways to direct your heart to the Lord in the act of love. If we do these things, then we will have learned from the Lord “how to pray.” – Rev. C.

All indulgences found in the Manual that are verbal prayers (except the Prayers of the Eastern Church) are organized into a one-week cycle. All indulgences in this book are referenced to: Manual of Indulgences: Norms and Grants by the Apostolic Penitentiary Translated into English from the fourth edition (1999) of Enchiridion Indulgentiarum: Normae et Concessiones; United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC A complete explanation of the norms of indulgences can be found in the Manual of Indulgences. All indulgences in this document are numbered according to the Manual of Indulgences, either by page number (p. #) or paragraph number (#). Any prayers not designated by a page number (p. #) or a paragraph number (#) are not indulgenced prayers. Some are taken from popular piety; others are taken from the Roman Missal. Other prayers and sacramental rituals are added to this document because they are used in the devotional and sacramental life of St. Francis of Assisi parishioners. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................................................... 2 DAILY PRAYER AND LITURGY SCHEDULE ............................................................................................ 2 THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT .................................................................................................... 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................................................ 4 ROSARY (17.1) ...................................................................................................................................... 7 DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET .................................................................................................................... 14 SUNDAY: RESURRECTION ................................................................................................................... 16 MONDAY: HOLY SPIRIT ....................................................................................................................... 24 TUESDAY: GUARDIAN ANGELS ........................................................................................................... 29 WEDNESDAY: ST.

  • The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J
    Word & World Volume 23, Number 4 Fall 2003 The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J. GAISER avid, according to Sirach, “sang praise with all his heart, and he loved his Maker.” He placed singers before the altar, to make sweet melody with their voices. He gave beauty to the festivals, and arranged their times throughout the year, while they praised God’s holy name, and the sanctuary resounded from early morning. (Sir 47:9–10) Biblical historians will rightly have to wrestle with the several anachronisms in that passage, but the inheritors of the tradition will rightly hear its resounding witness to the connection between David and worship, David and song, David and psalms.1 1Sirach’s view of David’s role in Israel’s worship and psalmody is apparently derived from the Chronicler. See especially 1 Chr 16:1–43; 23:2–5, 30–32. With clear thematic and literary connections, Ps 50 sets up Ps 51, providing the accusation and call to repentance that produce the confession of David and Israel in Ps 51. Reading Ps 51 in the light of Ps 50 enhances its meaning for us, call- ing us to task for our failures and our attempts to manipulate God to our ad- vantage while announcing the steadfast love of God that promises genuine renewal. 382 Copyright © 2003 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota. All rights reserved. The David of Psalm 51 Israel made these connections, and the church accepted them. The Psalter, in the tradition, is David’s book.2 Sirach tells us more about David, however: “The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his power forever; he gave him a covenant of kingship and a glorious throne in Israel” (Sir 47:11).

  • The Penitential Psalms 1
    THE PENITENTIAL PSALMS 1. Psalm 51 “Lord Have Mercy” ASH WEDNESDAY March 6, 2019 Rev. Jeffrey H. Rickards In preparation for Lent and a sermon series on the Penitential Psalms, I picked up and read Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s last published book before his imprisonment by the Nazis, The Psalms: Prayerbook of the Bible. For me, Bonhoeffer is a true descendant pastorally and theologically of Martin Luther. Like Luther, Bonhoeffer loved the Psalms, and saw them as a model for prayer. Bonhoeffer begins his pocket-sized book by reflecting on how the Psalms are prayers that God has given us in His Word to pray back to Him, just as Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer. I was particularly drawn to Bonhoeffer’s chapter simply titled “Guilt,” featuring the so-called “Seven Penitential or Repentance Psalms,” numbers 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. This Lenten Season, we will sing, and I will preach on six of these psalms, starting with Psalm 51, and the plea, “Lord, have mercy on me” (v. 1). Bonhoeffer also calls these seven penitential psalms “the Pauline Psalms” for the way in which they “lead us to the confession of guilt and direct our complete confidence to the forgiving grace of God.” The Reformation theology of Martin Luther affirms that God’s gracious love, through Jesus Christ, removes our sins and creates us anew. Thus, for us Lutherans, the confession of sin and the assurance of pardon are weekly rituals in most of our churches. Yet rarely do we lift up these elements to be contemplated and celebrated.

But they are all, without exception, scandalized and grieved when I tell them that probably this Office, this Mass will no longer be here in ten years. And that is the worst. The monks cannot understand this treasure they possess, and they throw it out to look for something else, when seculars, who for the most part are not even Christians, are able to love this incomparable art." — Thomas Merton wrote this in a letter to Dom Ignace Gillet, who was the Abbot General of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (1964) An American Requiem: AN American expression of our Roman Rite Requiescat in Pace Praying for the Dead The Carrols were among the early founders of Maryland, but as Catholic subjects to the Eng- lish Crown they were unable to participate in the political life of the colony.

  • Jean Langlais Remembered: Chapter-9
    The Upheavals of the Sixties ! ! ! CHAPTER 9 The$Upheavals$of$the$Sixties$ Jean Langlais’s mature years should have unfolded smoothly as his fame increased, but it was not to be. A major upheaval would rock the Roman Catholic Church, a budding ecumenical movement would gain momentum, and the world of French organists would split along fault lines between proponents of Baroque, Romantic, and contemporary music. Jean Langlais suddenly found himself doing battle on multiple fronts, under attack from the liturgical consequences of Vatican II on the one hand, and confronting new ideas from younger colleagues on the other. In spite of the resulting tumult, he would continue to advance his career as a brilliant recitalist and teacher, attracting a growing number of foreign organ students along the way. The Second Vatican Council: Jean Langlais confronts the evolution of the Roman Catholic liturgy We arrive at what proved to be one of the saddest moments in the life of Jean Langlais. For some time he had been considered a specialist of the highest order in the domain of Roman Catholic sacred music, most notably since 1954-1955 and the success of his Missa Salve Regina. The Second Vatican Council, particularly as interpreted by certain French liturgists, now stood poised to completely disrupt the happy order of his life as a composer. His six choral masses in Latin, a Passion, and numerous motets and cantatas notwithstanding, Langlais initially reacted with enthusiasm to the Church’s new directives concerning religious music, composing many simple works in French that were directly accessible to the faithful.
