PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ALONE
Lord, draw near to all who live in solitude
And whose heart is about to fail.
Adopt them.
It is so hard to live in abandonment, without a mother, a wife and children!
It’s so humiliating to know that others are bothered with their sorrows!
It revives those who live in the desert that their selfishness creates around them.
And when the leaden evening oppresses her breast;
When their burning temples strike hard
When the rope or the gun obsesses them like a
Nightmare, but also as a possible release
Ah! in such a dreadful dryness send them the freshness and tenderness of your comfort.
Amen.

GOOD WAY
I invoke the sublime influence of the Eternal Father to obtain success and advancement in all the affairs of my life and to smooth out all difficulties in my path. I invoke the help of the Holy Spirit, so that the good star may light up my path and frighten away the bad shadow that follows me.
I call upon the God on high, so that my house may prosper, although my business and person may receive a message of good luck sent by Divine Providence.
O Great Occult Power, I implore your supreme majesty to turn me from danger, at the right time, and that my path may be illuminated by the Lighthouse of Fortune. I shall receive the infinite blessings of Heaven.
I believe in God the Father Almighty. Amen.

SPIRIT OF GOOD FORTUNE
Oh, mysterious spirit that directs all the threads of our life! Come down to my humble abode; enlighten me to obtain through the secret vagaries of the lottery, the prize that will give me fortune and with it the happiness and welfare that my soul will receive; observe my intentions which are pure and healthy and are directed to the good and benefit of me and of mankind in general. I do not ambition wealth to show myself selfish or tyrannical; I desire money to buy me the peace of my soul, the fortune of what I love, and the prosperity of my hope. Oh! Sovereign Spirit, if you think that I should spend yet many days on earth, suffering the discomforts that destiny is repairing to me, your will be done; I resign myself to your decree but bear in mind my sound purposes at this time when I invoke you the need in which I find myself and if it is written in the book of my destiny, may my vows which are expressed in all sincerity in my heart be satisfactorily attended to. Amen.

PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS
How many times will I forgive my brother? I will forgive him, not seven times, but seventy times seven times. Here is a saying of Jesus that will attract your attention and speak loudly to our hearts. Look at those words of mercy of creation so simple, so summarised and so great in its aspirations that Jesus gives to his disciples, you will always find the same thought. And he answers Peter “You will forgive but without limit. You will always forgive whatever offense is committed against you; you will teach your brothers that forgetfulness of self that makes them invulnerable to attack, bad acts and insults: you will be gentle and humble of heart, never measuring their meekness; you will finally do what you wish the Father to do for you.
Forgive, be indulgent, charitable and even lavish with your years. Give, for the Lord will give; forgive, for the Lord will forgive; get down, for the Lord will lift you up; humble yourselves, for the Lord will make you sit at His right hand.
Spiritists, never forget that both in word and deed, forgiveness of wrongdoing should not be a vain word; if you call yourselves Spiritists, be so: forget the evil that may have been done to you, and think only of one thing, the good that you may do. God knows what dwells in the heart of each one, happy, for he who can fall asleep every day saying: “I have nothing against my neighbour”.

PRAYERS FOR THE ANGELS

And what great confidence I must have in having you by my side, for my defence!
Well, show me, Holy Angel:
Protect and guide me on the right and safe way to that holy city and do not allow

In his infinite goodness.
Amen.

PRAYER TO ST RAPHAEL
Lead me, Lord, and show me your gifts, to be grateful for such liberality, and thus through the archangel St. Raphael lead me, as you led young Tobias and taught him to reciprocate your graces and to bless your name; through intercession, deliver me also from my ingratitude, and make him acknowledge your incomprehensible favours, so that he may magnify your mercies through them.

FRIDAY PRAYER
Oh, sweet Name! The name of Jesus, the name of life, health, joy, goodness, love; a precious, joyful, glorious and pleasant name; a name that strengthens the sinner; a name that saves, leads, governs and preserves everything. By the power of this most sweet Name, may the devil be driven away from me. Enlighten me, Lord, for I am blind; dispel my deafness, straighten me, for I am lame; restore my speech for I am dumb; cure my leprosy, restore my health and, in a word, resurrect me, for I am dead. Give me life and encircle me everywhere that I may be buckled and fortified with that Holy Name living always in voice, praising and honouring you, because everything is due to you and you are the most worthy of glory. Most pious Jesus, grant me the blessings and tranquillity that your chosen ones enjoy, and make the devil flee from my side; cure me of the sicknesses that I suffer, physical and moral, and I will bless your name with the same faith that I have now, not knowing if I am worthy of your mercy; You will always be in my heart, even if you do not pity me, and I am sure, with my worship, even if you do not hear me, if I do not rejoice at least I will not suffer, because the devil will run away from me for not listening without anger and grief to my prayer to you, full of humility and love. Goodness as holy as yours will not fail to extend to this sinner, who begs and pleads with all his soul, heart and life, to take him under your protection and shelter so that he may be free from temptations so that he may live and die in your Holy Grace.

PRAYER FOR THE SABBATH
Jesus, Son of a Mother, Saviour of the world, may the Lord be merciful, sweet and favourable to me; may He remind me of a healthy and upright spirit to render Him the vassalage due to Him, who is the liberator of the world. No one could lay a hand on Him, for His hour had not come: He who was, who is, and who will always be God and man, the beginning and the end. May this prayer that I address to you guarantee me eternally against my enemies. Amen. Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews and Redeemer of the world, look upon this unhappy soul who humbles herself before you and still believes herself unworthy of kneeling before such great excellence and give me the peace I long for. Amen. Have mercy on me, who am a poor sinner and miserable creature, lead me according to your sweetness on the way of eternal salvation. Amen. At the time when the good Jesus was accomplishing his redemptive mission on earth, the Jewish priests who did not understand him sent emissaries to apprehend him. And Jesus, knowing the things that must happen to him, came to them and said, ‘Whom do you seek? And they answered, Jesus of Nazareth. And Jesus answered them, I am he. And when Judas, who was among them and was to betray him, had told them that it was he, they all fell down to the ground. Who is it that you seek? Jesus asked them again, and when they answered that it was Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus said to them, “I told you that it is I, and if it is I that you seek, let those go (referring to his disciples). And Jesus passed through their midst, and no one dared lay an unholy hand on him, for his hour had not come. The spear, the nails, the cross, the thorns that you have suffered prove, Lord, that you have blotted out and atoned for the crimes of the wretched. Preserve me, Lord Jesus Christ, from the ambushes that my enemies prepare for me, for your five wounds serve me continually as a remedy. Jesus is the star; Jesus is the life; Jesus has suffered; Jesus has been crucified; Jesus, the Son of the living God, have mercy on me. Amen.
