Daily Prayers And Devotions
©2010 James Dacey, Jr. SFO

Hello Everyone,

As week comes to a close let look upon another daily prayer devotion that maybe of interest to you. I'm sure many of you have heard of The Liturgy of The Hours. That is probably one of the most wonderful daily devotions that I have been involved in. It is in book form, but also know that you can come online each day throughout the day and pray The Liturgy of The Hours.

I really hope these resources have become a blessing in your own private prayer life. I cherish my personal private prayer time with my Lord and sharing is so wonderful. Literally everything can be done online to locate the readings and learn more about, sometimes we just need someone to lead the way. That link above is the exact document that is in the front of my Liturgy of The Hours book. And now I will further direct you to an ONLINE version, where you can go to for daily prayers. Seriously check out this link, I refer to it a lot. If you are a Prayer Warrior like me, then you will really enjoy this link.

The Angelus holds a very special in my own personal prayer life, this was one of the first real true daily devotions that began in my life over 27 years ago. Simple pray that little prayer everyday.

The Angelus

V — The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R — And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary...

V — Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R — Be it done unto me according to thy word.

Hail Mary...

V — And the Word was made Flesh.
R — And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary...

V — Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R — That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

LET US PRAY: Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ, your 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.

Pray Always - "Jesus, I Trust You."
