MYSTICAL MASS PRAYER
Father Luke Zimmer, SS.CC.
Eternal Father, we offer to You, through the Immaculate
and Sorrowful Heart of Mary and the Just Heart of Joseph, in
the Holy Spirit, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord
Jesus Christ, in union with each Mass celebrated today and
every day until the end of time.
With Mother Mary, St. Joseph, each Angel and Saint in
Heaven, each person in Purgatory, each person in the Body of
Christ and the family of God, we offer each act of love,
adoration, praise and worship. We offer each act of
thanksgiving for blessings, graces and gifts received. We offer
each act of reparation for sins that have been, are being and will
be committed until the end of time. And we offer each act of
intercessory prayer. We offer all of these prayers in union with
Jesus in each Mass celebrated throughout the world,
throughout all time.
We prostrate ourselves before You, Triune God, like the
Prodigal Son with our weaknesses, limitations and sinfulness
asking for Your mercy, forgiveness and acceptance. Like the
Publican-tax collector, we ask for mercy and forgiveness. Like
the Paralytic, we ask for healing and strength. Like the Good
Thief, we ask for salvation. And like Mary Magdalene, give us
the gift of Your Unconditional Love of the Blessed Trinity as
reflected in the Holy Family.
We consecrate ourselves and all of creation to You, O
Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, we ask You in the Name of Jesus, through
the power of His Most Precious Blood, through His death on the
Cross, through His Resurrection from the dead and Ascension
into Heaven, to send forth the Holy Spirit upon all people.
Holy Spirit give an outpouring of Your blessings, graces
and gifts: upon those who do not believe, that they may believe;
upon those who are doubtful or confused, that they may
understand; upon those who are constantly living in a state of
sin, that they may be converted; upon those who are weak, that
they may be strengthened; upon those who are lukewarm or
indifferent, that they may be transformed; and upon those who
are holy, that they may persevere.
We ask You to bless our Holy Father. Give him strength
and health in body, mind, soul and spirit. Bless his ministry and
make it fruitful. Protect him from his enemies and in his
travels. Supply for all of his needs.
Bless each cardinal, bishop, priest, deacon, brother, sister
and all aspiring to the religious life, especially..., and grant many
the gift of a vocation to the priesthood and religious life. Bless
all married and single people. Bless each member of our
families, relatives, friends, enemies and persecutors,
especially.... Bless the poor, the sick, the underprivileged, the
dying and all of those in need.... Bless those who have died and
are in a state of purification, that they may be taken to Heaven.
We offer and consecrate ourselves and all of creation to
you, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We ask you
Joseph and Mary to take us with all of our hopes and desires.
Please offer them with Jesus in the Holy Spirit to our Heavenly
Father, in union with each Mass offered throughout all time.
We consecrate ourselves to Archangels Michael, Gabriel
and Raphael and each Angel, especially our own Guardian
Angel. We ask in the Name of Jesus, through our Mother Mary,
Queen of all Angels, that You, O Heavenly Father, send forth
legions of Angels to minister to us: Archangel Michael with his
legions to ward off the attacks of the world, the flesh and the
devil; Archangel Gabriel with his legions to teach us that we
may know and do Your Will, and that they may help us to
catechize and evangelize; Archangel Raphael with his legions to
heal our woundedness, supply for our limitations, strengthen us
in our weakness, to break all demonic depression and bondage,
to give us joy of the Spirit, to protect us in our travels and to
supply for all of our needs.
Finally, we ask for the gift of Unconditional Love, that we
can live the Family Life of the Blessed Trinity as reflected in the
Holy Family at Nazareth, thus bringing to fruition Jesus’ prayer
for unity, and peace in justice throughout the world. Amen.

I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me (Jn 17:20-23).
