The Angelus
It is suggested that all Miles Jesu members recite this prayer (or the Regina Coeli during the Easter season) each morning.
Leader: The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
People: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Leader: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
People: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Leader: Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
People: Be it done unto me according to your word.
Leader: Hail Mary …
People: Holy Mary …
Leader: And the Word was made flesh,
People: And dwelt among us.
Leader: Hail Mary …
People: Holy Mary …
Leader: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
People: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Leader: Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Your Son, was made known by the message of Your angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Morning Offering
The first morning offering is the usual one to use; the second one may also be said occasionally, e.g., on feasts of the Blessed Mother or Saturday. It is suggested that all Miles Jesu members recite the Morning Offering each day.
O Jesus, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Your most precious Blood poured out on the cross and offered in every Mass, I offer You today my prayers, works joys, sorrows and sufferings for the praise of Your Holy name and all the desires of Your Sacred Heart, in reparation for sin, for the conversion of sinners, the union of all Christians, and our final union with You in heaven. Amen.
or
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, through the hands of Mary, Immaculate Queen, bless me and give me the grace to spend this day in a manner pleasing to you. Close to you, Mary, Immaculate Queen, I want to live. With you I desire to offer myself to Jesus. Through you I wish to receive His blessing in order that my whole day, from morning to night, may be occupied solely in the carrying out of His most holy will, in the service of the Church, for the salvation of souls. Mary, Immaculate Queen, take my hand in yours, so that I may keep in step with you as we walk along the pathway of the will of God. Amen.
Miles Jesu Prayer for Vocations
All Miles Jesu members are invited to recite this prayer daily.
Mary, our Mother,
the Three Holy Kings left the security,
comfort, and emotional ties
of their homes and countries,
and guided by the light of Faith
they found Jesus in your loving arms,
and offered him gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincese –
symbols of the complete gift of oneself
(poverty, chastity, and obedience).
We, the members of Miles Jesu,
consecrate and commend all the work
of our faith family to you,the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of the Epiphany,
asking you to inspire many young men and women
with the wisdom, courage, generosity
and perseverance
of the Three HolyKings
to offer themselves completely to Jesus
through your Heart in our humble faith family. Amen.
v. The Three Holy Kings (three times)
r. Pray for us.
