Literature Study Guides for Catholic Students: Roughly ages 10+

What to Expect Here

All posts on this blog and all pdfs and/or Word Docs are my personal property offered for the use of Catholic teachers. Most of the Study Guides contained herein are taken from a Google Docs share platform that was intended to be an ongoing project with collaboration amongst several teachers. Until the final project is finished, however, I wanted to give our busy teachers easier access to the mostly-finished files. I'm going through the process of consolidating 2+ years of study guides to a platform with an index to make them more accessible to our Sisters and anyone else who may have use of them. Please be aware that you may occasionally come across unfinished study guides -- or guides that received less time than others. Many have incomplete answers keys. God willing, I'll be able to fill in the blanks as time goes on. Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions in the com-box at the bottom of each post and I'll try to incorporate what I can! All work contained on this blog is free for your personal use with your own students, for home schooling or for conventional classrooms, but it's not available for reprint to sell in any way. The only recompense I ask is your prayers for priests and Religious and for the reign of Mary's Immaculate Heart throughout the world. In Jesus and Mary, Lisa

Prayer for Priests

O Almighty Eternal God, look upon the face of Thy Son, and for the love of Him who is the eternal High Priest, have pity on Thy priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the bishop's hands. Keep them close to Thee, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation. O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in purgatory. But above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted, and who gave me Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me, or helped and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly (priest's name here). O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
