so, martox45, if i were writing it and adressing it to a group of people then "ORATE PRO ME" would be the correct way of writing it?

Perhaps:
Pro me ores.
This is a subjunctive form and expresses a wish or desire. It would translate as 'May you pray for me.' The imperative form seems a bit harsh to use for this request.
ADDED: Above is singular - to one person. Adressed to more than one is 'Pro me oretis.'

ORA PRO ME if it's addressed to a single person
ORATE PRO ME if it's addressed to more people.
Above "orare pro me" means "to pray for me" at the infinitive tense while I guess you want translated "pray for me" as a command, an invitation and then you must use the present imperative tense (ORA or ORATE depending on the number).
Edit # 1 - Re. to below answer by Dollhaus I don't agree at all as In Latin prayers I've always heard "ORA PRO NOBIS" or "ORATE PRO NOBIS" (pray for us) and never what she's suggesting (Pro me ores or Pro nobis oretis or Pro nobis ores). The Latin Imperative is used to express not just a command but also an invitation and I guess this perfectly fits the context.

"I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin, to Blessed Michael the Archangel, to Blessed John the Baptist, to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the angels and saints, and to you father: that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, deed: (here one strikes ones breast three times) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault, and I ask Blessed Mary ever Virgin, Blessed Michael the Archangel, Blessed John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, and you father, to pray for me to the Lord our God."
"Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatae Mariae semper Virgini, beato Michaeli Archangelo, beato Joanni Baptistae, sanctis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et tibi pater: quia peccavi nimis cogitatione verbo, et opere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Ideo precor beatam Mariam semper Virginem, beatum Michaelem Archangelum, beatum Joannem Baptistam, sanctos Apostolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et te pater, orare pro me ad Dominum Deum Nostrum."
"all the Saints, and you father, to PRAY FOR ME to the Lord our God."
"et te pater, orare pro me ad Dominum Deum Nostrum."
