Would you like a printed version?

This blog gets a lot of visitors, and I wondered if many would like a reprinted copy of the old catechism. If so, I think I could probably arrange it, and keep the price very low. Let me know.

A Short Act of Charity

O my God, I love Thee above all things, because Thou art infinitely good, and for thy sake I love my neighbour as myself.

The Memorare

The Prayer of St. Bernard

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word incarnate, do not reject my petition, but graciously hear and grant it. Amen. (An indulgence of 3 years. A plenary indulgence once a month under the usual conditions for the daily recitation of this prayer).

The Confiteor

I confess to Almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grevious fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, to pray to the Lord our God for me.
May the almighty God have mercy on me, forgive me my sins, and bring me to life everlasting. Amen.
May the almighty and merciful Lord grant me pardon, absolution, and remission of my sins. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of they womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, o sweet Virgin Mary. (An indulgence of 5 years. A plenary indulgence once a month under the usual conditions for the daily recitation of this prayer)
