Breastplate of St. Patrick
Christ be with me,
Christ be within me,
Christ be before me,
Christ be behind me,
Christ beneath and
Christ above,
Christ on my right hand,
Christ on my left.
Christ with me waking, walking and sleeping.
Christ in every heart thinking of me,
Christ on every tongue speaking to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me.
Christ in every ear that hears me.

Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make us instruments of your peace;
where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon
where there is doubt, faith
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that we may not so much
try to be comforted, as to comfort;
to be understood, as to understand
to be loved, as to love.
Because it is in giving that we receive,
it is in forgiving that we are forgiven,
and it is in dying that we are born
into eternal life.
Amen

Memorare
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 by this confidence,
we fly unto you,
O Virgin of virgins, our Mother.
To you do we come, before you we stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions,
but in your clemency,
hear and answer us.
Amen.

O Mary, Health of the Sick,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you.
You know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide,
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows,
leading us through the cross
to the joy of the resurrection.
Amen
Pope Francis, March 2020
