Key Catholic Prayers
Catholic prayer life is centered around the Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, and various devotions. The Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and prayers to saints are important parts of Catholic spirituality.
A meditative prayer focusing on the life of Christ, prayed with the intercession of Mary. It consists of specific prayers recited while meditating on key events (mysteries) in the lives of Jesus and Mary.
A devotion based on the visions of St. Faustina, focusing on God's mercy. It's often prayed using rosary beads, especially at 3 PM, the Hour of Mercy.
Also called the Divine Office, this is the official set of prayers marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer. It consists primarily of psalms, hymns, and readings.
Nine days of prayer for special intentions. Many novenas are dedicated to specific saints or for particular needs. They often combine formal prayers with personal petitions.

I pray that you'll reach down and touch her right now wherever she is at this moment. Let your presence fill the room where she is and let her feel an extra portion of your strength that can help her to get through this day.

Prayer to St. Peregrine for Healing
CatholicO great St. Peregrine, you have been called 'The Mighty,' 'The Wonder-Worker,' because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying) Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
