Catholic prayers through the day
Catholic evening prayers
As the day ends, many Catholics pray the Song of Mary, the Magnificat, which is also the Gospel canticle of Vespers, the Three O'Clock Prayer of Divine Mercy, and the Angelus.
In the Catholic Church the official prayer of the hours is the Liturgy of the Hours: Lauds in the morning, Daytime Prayer at midday, Vespers in the evening, and Night Prayer (Compline) before sleep. MyOratory's Catholic hours gather the traditional prayers that many Catholics say at these times.
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Song of Mary (Magnificat)
My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed. For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name. His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him. He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart. He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty. He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever.
Luke 1:46–55 (World English Bible)
The Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Three O'Clock Prayer
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in You. Jesus, I trust in You.
The Angelus
℣The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
℟And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
℣Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
℟Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
℣And the Word was made flesh.
℟And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
℣Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
℟That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
