[odhiambo]

Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
In your compassion blot out my offense.
 O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.
My offenses truly I know them; my sin is always before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
what is evil in your sight I have done.
 That you may be justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge.
O see, in guilt was I born, a sinner was I conceived.
 Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
O purify me, then I shall be clean;
 O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.
 Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, that the bones you have crushed may revive.
 From my sins turn away your face and blot out all my guilt.
 A pure heart create for me, O God, put a steadfast spirit within me.
 Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
 Give me again the joy of your help; with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
 that I may teach transgressors your ways and sinners may return to you.
 O rescue me, God, my helper, and my tongue shall ring out your goodness.
 O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.
 For in sacrifice you take no delight,
burnt offering from me you would refuse;
my sacrifice, a contrite spirit.
 A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn.....
 

PSALM 51

Nativity Prayer of Saint Augustine

Let the just rejoice,
for their justifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their saviour is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let slaves rejoice,
for their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
Let All Christians rejoice,
For Jesus Christ is born.

Christ Be With Me

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Christ.
May your salvation, Lord, be ever with us.

Prayer for Trust in Jesus

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

[odhiambo]

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for
welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,
and I will hear you."
Jeremiah 29:11-12

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

[odhiambo]

O Jesus, Master, present in the Holy Eucharist,
