There are several prayers that Catholics use . One is, of course the "Doxology"
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit .
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end . Amen .
Then there is the "morning offering"
"O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you all my prayers, works,joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intententions of Your Sacred Heart, in Union with the holy Sacrifice of the mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins,for the intentions of all our associates, and in particular, for the intententions recommended for this month by our holy Father, pope (N).
this is followed by the "Our father".
BTW I know there will be lots of flames from the "adversaries who are "accusing us night and day" about the intercessory elements there, but He promised us persecution .

Thanks for your reply on my inquiry about prayers to Jesus. What is the reason that we hear so little about this type of prayer (to Christ) and so much about the rosary and prayer to Mary? Don't you think one is emphasized a lot more than the other?
One thing that really stands out to me when I watch a show like Mother Angelica Live is how frequently during one show Mary's name is mentioned and she is discussed. The references to Christ are relatively few---I really mean this---I am quite amazed by it as I watch. I don't like that!! I love the Lord very much, and honestly it grieves me to hear someone else receive more attention than Him. Can you understand that? Can you explain why this is? Sincerely, hopefulpilgrim
