Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who
fled to your protection, implored your help,
or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence I fly unto you,
O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you I come;
Before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful,
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Examination of Conscience
Recall that you are in the presence of God.
"God, I believe that I am in Your presence, and You are loving me."
Ask for help from the Spirit.
"God, You know my needs. Give me Your light, and help me as I review this day."
Review your day.
"God, help me to review the events of this day to recognize Your blessings and my shortcomings."
Ask for pardon and give thanks.
"God, I ask Your forgiveness for my failings, and I thank You for all of Your blessings.
Resolve to listen to God's voice.
"Make me aware that You are with me; show me how to become the person You want me to be."
Prayer for Generosity
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve as You deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to ask for reward,
Save that of knowing I am doing your will.
Amen.
