First Communion Prayers
Hover over the cards to reveal the reflections on the back.
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.
This is the prayer that Jesus Himself taught us. When we say "Our Father," we are talking to God just like we talk to our Daddy — with love and trust.

Hail Mary
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.
Mary is Jesus' mommy. When we pray the Hail Mary, we ask her to pray for us, just like we ask our own mommy to help us.

Angel of God
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
God gave you your very own guardian angel! This angel watches over you day and night. When you feel scared, remember your angel is right there with you.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Where are you going tomorrow? Ask God to guide your steps there.

Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in thanksgiving for Your favors, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
When you wake up, you can give your whole day to Jesus. Every game you play, every lesson you learn, every hug you give — all for Jesus!
