My Children

My children, know you not that the Earth
And all that dwells therein
Is but a reflection of the
Kingdom of the Heavenly Father?
And as you are suckled and comforted
By your mother when a child,
But you go to join your father in the fields
When you grow up,
So do the Angels of the Earthly Mother
Guide your steps
Toward him who is your Father,
And all his holy Angels,
That you may know your true home
And become true Sons of God.
While we are children,
We will see the rays of the sun,
But not the Power which created it;
While we are children,
We will hear the sounds of the flowing brook,
But not the Love which created it;
While we are children,
We will see the stars,
But not the hand which scatters them
Through the sky,
As the farmer scatters the seed.
Only through the Communions
With the Angels of the Heavenly Father,
Will we learn to see the unseen,
To hear that which cannot be heard,
And to speak the unspoken word.
All Things Exist By Thee
Thou hast made known unto me
Thy deep, mysterious things.
All things exist by Thee
and there is none beside Thee.
By Thy Law
Thou hast directed my heart
that I set my steps straight forward
upon right paths
and walk where Thy presence is.

My Daily Prayer

O My God, 
I place my trust and confidence in You,
who will reward the good and punish the wicked. 
I believe in You and accept everything 
You have taught and revealed.

I believe that in one God 
there are three Divine Persons –
God the Father, 
God the Son 
and God the Holy Spirit.

I believe that God the Son became Man 
without ceasing to be God. 
He is Jesus Christ, my lord and my Saviour, 
the Redeemer of the human race. 
He died on the Cross for my salvation 
and eternal happiness. 

O my God, give me a strong faith.
Help me to believe with lively faith.

O my God, all-good and all-merciful, 
I sincerely hope to be saved. 
Help me to do all that is necessary 
to gain eternal salvation. 

I have committed many sins in my life, 
but now I turn away from them. 
I am sorry, truly sorry for all of them,
because I have offended You, my God, 
Who are all-good, all-perfect,
all-holy and all-merciful.

I love you, O my God, with all my heart.
Please forgive me for having offended You.

I promise that, with Your help, 
I will never offend You again.

My God, have mercy on me.

My Greatest Gift

Heavenly Father, my child is your greatest gift,
and my biggest challenge! 
I know my child is truly distressed,
and yet I am at my wit’s end to find a peaceful resolution. 
I feel helpless and frustrated.
I ask myself, What would my Heavenly Father
do in His infinite wisdom and beneficence?
Lord, come into my heart and mind,
and share Your loving wisdom with me!
Help my child to heal his pain, and help me
to become as loving and wise a parent, as You are for us
Your children. Thank You Lord, for
hearing me and coming to my aid! Bring your loving Peace to me and my child today. 

Amen.

Prayer to My Guardian Angel

Angel of God’s light, whom God sends as a companion for me on earth, protect me from the snares of the devil, and help me to walk always as a child of God, my Creator.
Angel of God’s truth, whose perfect knowledge serves what is true, protect me from deceits and temptations. Help me to know the truth, and always to live the truth. 

Angel of God’s love, who praises Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who sacrificed His life for love of us, sustain me as I learn the ways of Divine love, of sacrificial generosity, of meekness and lowliness of heart. 
Thank You, my heavenly friend, for your watch full care. At the moment of my death, bring me to heaven, where the one true God, Who is light, Truth and Love, lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.

A Prayer for My Intellect

Lord, You are the Source of all Life, all Truth, and all Beauty, I pray to You today, with all my heart, for my intelligence, this light in me, this plant which demands years and years of care, this thing in me, mysterious and moving, this activity which sometimes bounds up, sometimes slows down, which sometimes lifts me up with enthusiasm and sometimes exasperates me, I pray for this thing which runs after ideas, symbols and numbers, this thing which all of a sudden has penetrated inside the thought of another and melds with it like the fusion of two lights a fusion which bring about warmth and light. I pray to You for my mind as You are the Supreme Intelligence which penetrates, illuminates, and embraces all our intelligences. Lord, help make my intelligence amenable to all truths, able to understand the thoughts of others; give to me the wisdom to know the meaning and purpose of my life and learning, so that my knowledge, understanding, and skills may help in some little ways to make this world a better place, for Your greater glory. 

Amen.

A Prayer to My Lord

My Lord,
I offer you my thoughts: 
to be fixed on you;
My words: 
to have you for their theme;
My actions: 
to reflect my love for you;
My sufferings: 
to be endured for your greater glory.

I want to do what you ask of me:
In the way you ask,
For as long as you ask,
Because you ask it.

Lord, enlighten my understanding,
Strengthen my will,
Purify my heart,
and make me holy.

Help me to repent of my past sins
And to resist temptation in the future.
Help me to rise above my human weaknesses
And to grow stronger as a Christian.

Amen.

My Nurse’s Prayer

When I falter, give me courage. When I tire, renew my strength. When I weaken because I’m human, Inspire me on to greater length. If doctors and patients become demanding, And days are too short for all my duty, Help me remember I chose to serve, To do so with grace, and spiritual beauty. In humility, Lord, I labour long hours, And though I sometimes may fret; My mission is mercy. Abide with me, that I may never forget.

My Queen, My Mother

Begin by saying one Hail Mary.
Then say the following prayer…
My Queen! my Mother! I give thee all myself, and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self. Wherefore, O loving Mohter, as I am thine own, keep me, defend me, as thy property and possession.
