Prière pour la Paix

O DIEU, tout désir de sainteté, toute intention droite et toute oeuvre de justice viennent de toi; procure à tes serviteurs la paix que le monde ne peut donner. Affermis nos coeurs dans l’obéissance de tes commandements. Délivre nous de la crainte de nos ennemis. Donne-nous le repos et le calme. Par les mérites de Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. Amen.

Prière pour la protection dans tous les dangers

ECLAIRE nos ténèbres, nous t’en supplions, Seigneur. Et dans ta miséricorde infinie défends-nous des périls et des dangers de la nuit qui vient, pour l’amour de ton Fils unique, notre Sauveur, Jésus-Christ. Amen.

On peut chanter un motet ou un cantique. Puis on peut dire les prières qu’on retrouve à cet endroit dans l’office du matin, ou n’importe quelle prière de “Prières et Actions de Grâce�; ou toute autre prière permise par l’autorité légitime. On termine toujours par la prière de Saint Jean Chrysostome et la bénédiction.

Prayer for a Blessing on the New Year
O sacred and adorable Trinity, hear our prayers on behalf of our holy Father the Pope, our Bishops, our clergy, and for all that are in authority over us. Bless, we beseech Thee, during the coming year, the whole Catholic Church; convert heretics and unbelievers; soften the hearts of sinners so that they may return to Thy friendship; give prosperity to our country and peace among the nations of the world; pour down Thy blessings upon our friends, relatives, and acquaintances, and upon our enemies, if we have any; assist the poor and the sick; have pity on the souls of those whom this year has taken from us; and do Thou be merciful to those who during the coming year will be summoned before Thy judgment seat. May all our actions be preceded by Thy inspirations and carried on by Thy assistance, so that all our prayers and works, having been begun in Thee, may likewise be ended through Thee. Amen.
