The following prayers form an important part of our common spiritual commitments:

Women's Apostolate to Youth Community Prayer

Grant, O Lord, that by the power of the Holy Spirit
and through the intercession of the Blessed Mother,
the members of this community will be formed
 into the likeness of your Son and our Lord, Jesus the Christ,
who came to us in the confident zeal of his youth,
and died for us in the holy compassion of his maturity.

We ask boldly for the gift of sanctity,
knowing that the little ones you love
seek in us a haven of tender love,
the light of truthful teaching,
and a living example of apostolic service 
entirely surrendered to your holy will.
In Christ's Name we pray.  Amen.

THE ANGELUS

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary. . .

Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

Hail Mary. . .

AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH.
And dwelt among us.  

Hail Mary. . .

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that
we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message
of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His 
Resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, and make us fruitful bearers of Incarnate Love.

Saint Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who wander the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving for Graces Received from the Infant Jesus

I prostrate myself before Thy holy image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, 
to offer Thee my most fervent thanks for the blessings Thou hast bestowed upon me.
I shall incessantly praise Thine ineffable mercy and confess that thou alone art my God,
my helper and my protector.  Henceforth my entire confidence shall be placed in Thee! 
Everywhere I shall proclaim aloud Thy mercy and generosity, so that Thy great love and 
the great deeds which Thou dost perform through this miraculous image may be
acknowledged by all.  May devotion to Thy holy infancy increase more and more
in the hearts of all Christians, and may all who experience Thine assistance persevere
with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Thy most holy infancy, to which be praise 
and glory forever. Amen.
