Catholic Prayers
We pray to the Father
And to the Blessed Mother
To the Son and the Holy Ghost
The saints, angels, heavenly host
We pray to many, but worship one
We recognize God and His growing clan
For heaven is glorious, His dominion grows!

Our Father
Our Father, let Your name be honored
Let Your kingdom be savored
Let Your intention be fulfilled
Let our stomachs be filled
Let our sins be forgiven
Let our temptations be taken
Let evil go away!

Pray & Worship
When we pray, we talk to God
When we worship, we recognize God
By prayer, hope we exhibit
By worship, faith we exhibit
Pray and we build divine relationship
Worship and we honor God's leadership
Prayer & worship make us His children.

Wedding
Hear the church bells, hear it ring
For the joyful bride is coming
Let the groom open his arms
Like a shield protecting his host from harms
For this day they're destined to be one
One in heaven like the moon and sun
Best wishes to our couple forevermore!

Calling
Call me, my Lord, and I will be there
Choose me and I will answer
You are my Lord I cannot reject
Your holy voice I must respect
Let me come to the Holy See
Be ordained and serve Thee
If I am Your priest, even death cannot do us apart!

Prepare Us for Death
Oh Father God, author of our life and death
Be with us in sickness and in health
Do not abandon us even if we dare to forsake Thee
Show to us Your inexhaustible mercy
For we are limited, our time passes away
We are bound by Your laws, we have penalties to pay
Help us be clean in spirit before it leaves our body!

Do Not Punish Us
Oh Father God, look how frail we are to deserve Your wrath
Our sins are overwhelming like we are soaked in blood bath
Have mercy because sometimes we don't know what we do
Have mercy because we call upon You
Your punishment is the most painful, everlasting
Hell is full, its screams are deafening
Cover us with Your Holy Spirit like an impenetrable shield!

Forgive Us Our Sins
Oh Father God, we are sometimes weaker than the devil
We are sometimes tempted by what we feel
It seems that the world is strong enough to pull me
Pull me away, push me away from Thee
Oh Jesus, be my strength
For my sins have reached their fullest length
My Savior is my hope for everlasting joy!

Confess Our Sins
We humble ourselves when we confess
We submit ourselves to God's forgiveness
We decrease punishment our sins have given
We increase our chance in going to heaven
We restore our friendship with our Creator
We strengthen our faith in our Savior
We must willingly confess our sins!

Recognizing the Holy Eucharist
When Christ said that the bread is His body
So it is, we must believe fully
When Christ said that the wine is His blood
So it is, it's from the Son of God
In the form of food & drink our Savior has become
Doubt over it we must overcome
For the Lord's word is always true!

The Greatness of Holy Mass
The Holy Mass is a great sacrifice
Through it, our faith can suffice
Through it, we worship the Lord
We thank Him and listen to His word
We pray for blessings & graces
We confess our sins & ask forgiveness
Great indeed is the Holy Mass!

Take the Holy Communion
Take the Holy Communion & receive the body of Christ
Say “Amen” and remember what He sacrificed
Through it we are being reminded
That He lived and departed
For the glory of God the Father
Who promises us a life thereafter
When our bodies will rise again like our Savior!

Be Confirmed
Be confirmed and strengthen your bondage
To the church you are in, to the religion you engage
Be a better servant of the Lord
Be a stronger follower of His word
Defend the faith by word and deed
Just like what our Savior Jesus Christ did
Receive the indelible mark of the Chrism of His Spirit!

Be Baptized
Be baptized with water
And wash away original sin forever
Be baptized with the Spirit
So heaven you shall inherit
Be baptized with blood
Die for the sake of God
Be baptized and you'll belong to His family!

The Sacraments
Be baptized and become a Christian
Confess our sins and reconcile with the One
Take Holy Communion and receive His body
Be confirmed and strengthen your Christianity
Get married and be a mother or father
Or be ordained and become His minister
And at the hour of death, be anointed!
