O Sacred Heart of Jesus,

Whatever may befall us O 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]

" Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, “How tremendous are your deeds!
 Let all the earth cry out to God with joy."

and mercifully increase the gifts of your grace,

one God, for ever and ever."

O Mother of Perpetual Help,
grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name,
 which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.
 O loving Mother,  let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips.
Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary...

Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.

Probe me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and know my thoughts;
See if my way is crooked,
and lead me in the way of old.

Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.

Today's Responsorial Psalm

[Shin]

O Jesus, Sweetest Love
from My Prayer-Book by Rev. F. X. Lasance.

O Jesus, sweetest Love, come Thou to me;
Come down in all Thy beauty unto me;
Thou Who didst die for longing love of me;
And never, never more depart from me.

Free me, O beauteous God, from all but Thee;
Sever the chain that holds me back from Thee;
Call me. O tender Love, I cry to Thee;
Thou art my all! O bind me close to Thee.

[Shin]

Glory to God in the Highest

Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to God's people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

Gracious and Holy Father,
give us the wisdom to discover You,
the intelligence to understand You,
the diligence to seek after You,
the patience to wait for You,
eyes to behold You,
a heart to meditate upon You,
and a life to proclaim You,
through the power of the Spirit of Jesus, our Lord.
Amen.
