3rd Prayer

One Our Father and One Hail Mary…

O Jesus! Creator of heaven and earth, Whom nothing can encompass nor limit, Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thy loving power, remember the very bitter pain which Thou didst suffer when blow by blow and with hatred the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross, with big blunt nails; and, not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, and dislocated Thy Bones by pulling them on all sides.

I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this most Holy and most loving suffering of the Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and Love Thee. Amen.

11th Prayer

One Our Father and One Hail Mary…

O Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy, I beg of Thee, in memory of Thy Wounds which penetrated to the very marrow of Thy Bones and to the depth of Thy Being, to draw me, a miserable sinner, overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and to hide me from Thy Face, justly irritated against me, hide me in Thy Wounds, until Thy anger and indignation shall have passed away. Amen.

A Leader is Patient

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

A patient man has great understanding, but a guide tempered man displays folly.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret — it leads only to evil.

It should be

Life can be happier and less stressful if we remember one simple thought: We can’t have all that we deserve, but God will give us all that we deserve.

Jesus, My God

Jesus, my God and My Savior, You loved me so much, You died for me on the Cross, so that I, too, could return to our Father in Heaven. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Through Your Holy Eucharist, please sustain me and be present with me always on my journey home. Amen

How it measures

Never get tired of doing little things for others because sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part in their hearts.

God, the Father

Dearest Father, as Your Child, I ask — that You send Mary to guide me to Jesus, and that Jesus sends me the Holy Spirit so that they may all bring me to You. That You dwell with me, and in me — a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus, and purified by Your Holy Spirit. And may I always be with You and in You. That You permit me, as Your child, to be Your true and intimate friend – one who loves You above all things. And that You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You.

I further ask You, father, for the sake of all mankind:

To have mercy on all Your children – past, present and future.

To bring peace to the world and to gather all Your children to Yourself.

And that Your Kingdom comes and Your Will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.

Danger of Prosperity

“Remember then, it is the LORD, your God, who gives you the power to acquire wealth, by fulfilling, as he has now done, the covenant which he swore to your fathers.”

-Dt 8:18
