Prayer for the Day

[odhiambo]

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise will be ever on my lips.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
 As it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever
 Amen!

[odhiambo]

 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
     Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
  Know that the Lord is God.
    It is Him who made us, and we are His
    we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
 Enter His gates with thanksgiving
    and His courts with praise;
    give thanks to Him and praise His Name.
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
    His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100

[George]

O Lord please hear these heartfelt prayers for
the intentions of all who come here to pray.

A prayer taken from the book of Maccabees

May God give to all of you
a heart to worship Him
and to do His will readily and generously.
May He open your heart
to His law and His commandments
and grant you peace.
May He hear your prayers
and be reconciled to you
and not forsake you
in time of evil.
Maccabees 1:3-6

[Shin]

Our Father who art in heaven
hallowed be Thy 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
Amen

[odhiambo]

Our Father who art in heaven

God Alone Suffices!

I offer You, Lord, 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.

 

[Shin]

Prayer of Gratitude

Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits and blessings which you have given me,
 for all the pains and insults which you have borne for me.
 Merciful Friend, Brother and Redeemer,
 may I know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly,
 day by day.
 Amen.
                         

[odhiambo]

Hold me worthy, O Lord, to behold your mercy in my soul before I depart
from this world; may I be aware in myself at that hour of your comfort,
along with those who have gone forth from this world in good hope.
Open my heart, O my God, by your grace and purify me from any
association with sin.
Tread out in my heart the path of repentance, my God and my Lord,
my hope and my boast, my strong refuge, by whom may my eyes be
illumined, and may I have understanding of your truth, O Lord.
Hold me worthy, Lord, to taste the joy of the gift of repentance,
by which the soul is separated from cooperating with sin and the
will of flesh and blood.  Hold me worthy, O Lord, to taste this
state, wherein lies the gift of pure prayer.
O my Saviour, may I attain to this wondrous transition at which
the soul abandons this visible world, and at which new stirrings
arise on our entering into the spiritual world and the experience
of new perceptions.
St. Isaac the Syrian

[odhiambo]

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise will be ever on my lips.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
 As it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever
 Amen!

[odhiambo]

Sacred Heart of Jesus
I place my trust in Thee

[Shin]

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we place our trust in Thee,
Whatever may befall us, Lord,
though dark the hour may be;
In all our woes, in all our joys,
though naught but grief we see,
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we place our trust in Thee!

[odhiambo]

Heavenly Father,
As I begin this new day with which You have blessed me,
help me to realize the preciousness of time,
the joy of hard and sincere work, the power of kindness
and the  far reaching influence of a good example.
May I have forgiveness for all who hurt me even as Our Savior forgave us.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen!

[odhiambo]

O my God, Trinity whom I adore.
Grant my soul peace!
Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling and the place of your rest.
May I never abandon You there alone,
 but may I be there, whole and entire completely vigilant
in my faith, entirely adoring and wholly given over to Your creative action…”

Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity 

[odhiambo]

PRAYER OF
ST. JOHN VIANNEY
I love You, O my God,
and my only desire is to love You
until the last breath of my life.
 
I love You, O my infinitely lovable God,
and I would rather die loving You,
than live without loving You.
 
I love You, Lord
and the only grace I ask is to love You eternally...
 
My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love You,
I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I draw breath.
