Fourth Grade Extended Prayers

Prayer to Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of 

your faithful and kindle in them the fire of

your love.  Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,

and they shall be created.

And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

Prayer for St. Francis (a Prayer for Peace)

Lord, make me an Instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love:

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying

that we are born to eternal life.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three Divine Persons,

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  I believe in Jesus Christ, your Son,

Who became man and died for our sins, and who will come to judge the living and the dead.  I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because you have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.  Amen

Act of Hope

O my God, trusting in Your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen

Act of Love

O my God, I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all-good and worthy of all my love, I love my neighbor,as myself for the Love You.  I forgive all those who have injured me, and I ask pardon for all whom I have injured.  Amen
