Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

...

A prayer for purposeful writing:

Come Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful,
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your spirit and they shall be created.
And you shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations,
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

...

A prayer in response to my biggest fear:

Grant, O Lord, that none may love Thee less this day because of me; that never a word or act of mine may turn one soul from Thee; and, ever daring, yet one more grace would I implore, that many souls this day, because of me, may love Thee more.

Amen.

...

A litany of saints to ask heaven to pray for my causes:

Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire.
St. Catherine of Sienna, pray for us.

St. Zelie, mother and maker, pray for us.
St. Anne, mother of Mary and homemaker, pray for us.
St. Monica, patron of mothers, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are though among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us, that we will be mercy workers.
St. Therese, pray for us, that we will live the little way.

All you holy men and women, pray for us!

Amen.

...

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
