Traditional Catholic Morning Offering
Understand that successful people can’t be surrounded by a bunch of “yes-people” to cater to their egos. True leaders need the right people in their corner, even if it’s to tell them something that they might not like to hear. Realize that in order to STAY SHARP there will be people in your life who will rub you the wrong way sometimes but ultimately it’s for your good. Even King David needed a Nathan, so honor those Nathan’s in your life. Take it as if God put them in your life because His plan is to take you to great places. In this world full of fakes and filters, keep a couple of “real ones” in your corner to keep you cutting edge. Thank you Lord for all my cutters.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
O God of Deliverances, I am encircled by hopelessness. I am surrounded by trouble, and there is no way out. Come help me, God! See what is happening and help me! You are my strength; I will wait for You to show me the way out. You, oh God, are my fortress. In Your unfailing love, You will stand with me, and together we will look down in triumph over all this adversity. Amen!
Catholic Prayer When Feeling Hopeless
Prayer to St Jude When Feeling Hopeless
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.

Catholic Deliverance Prayer
I confess my sins—known and unknown. I repent and ask for Your forgiveness. Please cleanse me with the blood of
Jesus Christ. I renounce Satan and all his works.
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You as my mighty Deliverer. You know every evil and unclean spirit that has bound,
tormented and defiled me and my blood line. I claim the promise of Your Word, “Whoever calls on the name of the
Lord shall be saved.” I call upon You now. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for delivering me and
setting me free.
As You forgive me for my sins and make me free, I also forgive myself for sinning against the Lord and for sinning
against my body. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I forgive my ancestors, descendants, and everyone who has ever
hurt me in any way, and I ask You to forgive them as well. I break all curses, hexes, vexes and demonic ties that
bind. I break all soul ties caused by witchcraft or sexual sins. I decree and I declare that the yokes that held me
bound are destroyed by the anointing of God.
Jesus, You gave Your disciples authority over all demons. You said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” I now
exercise that same power to set myself free.
According to the Word of God, I stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might with the whole armor of
God. In the finished work of Jesus Christ and in His name, I stand against the wiles of the devil; all principalities,
powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places.
Satan, I come against you in the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus, by the Word of God, by power of the
Holy Spirit, and by the authority of the Believer. I remind you that I sit in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Jesus
has given me power over you, your fallen angels, your demons and all forces of evil. Therefore, I command all evil
and unclean spirits to line up in rank and file order, starting with the root, and come out quickly without hurting,
harming or endangering me. Come out now in Jesus’ name.
Father God, thank You for making me free. Thank You Jesus for destroying the works of the devil. Thank You Holy
Spirit for restoring my fragmented soul – my mind, will and emotions. Now, I ask You to fill me with Your holy
power. Fill me with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I
thank You in the name that is above all names, the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: My Deliverer, King
and Master. Amen.
