Prayers are deeply personal. And when we find one that speaks to us, we tend to say it often.
It is easy nowadays to find common Catholic prayers, many websites have them. I, however, enjoy sifting through forgotten books and stumbling upon prayers that are not so popular. If you too are looking for something a little different to add to your favourite list of prayers, take a look at my selection. I am constantly adding new found prayers, so please check back regularly.

St. Francis’ Paraphrase of The Lord’s Prayer
The book “Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi” (R. Washbourne Publisher, 18 Paternoster Row, London. 1882) is authored by St. Francis of Assisi. The publisher has taken his writings and letters and the rules for the Friars Minor and created a really interesting book—it is Francis’ own words and writings, including prayers. The Lord’s Prayer is found on pp. 170-1.

St. Joseph
Daily Meditations With St. Joseph For The Month of March
I came upon this lovely meditation while researching for my Chaplet of Ten Evangelical Virtues of St. Joseph. The month of March was dedicated to St. Joseph, so I bring you this daily meditation in honour of him. It invites us to get to know and understand St. Joseph and his special graces.
From “The Devout Year”, By Richard F. Clarke S.J., Benziger Brothers, New York, Cincinnati, Chicago. 1893
