No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.
I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.

Remember, most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who
fled to your protection,
implored your help
and sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother.
To you I come; before you I stand.
Sinful and so...

Lord God,
you are attentive to the voice of our pleading.
Let us find in your Son
comfort in our sadness,
certainty in our doubt,
and courage to live
through this hour.
Make our faith strong
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.

A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Descend, Holy Spirit of Life!
Come down into our hearts,
that we may live.
Descend into our emptiness,
that emptiness may be filled.
Descend into the dust,
that dust may flower.
Descend into the dark,
that the light may shine in darkness. Amen.

PRAYER OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
Grant me, O Lord my God,
a mind to know you,
a heart to seek you,
wisdom to find you,
conduct pleasing to you,
faithful perseverance in waiting for you,
and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.

MATTHEW 11:28-29 NRSV
Come to me, all you that are weary
and are carrying heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me;
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.

Lighting the candle this morning, I sit quietly before it.
This is time set aside for God and me to be together.
I wait…
In stillness…
I listen.
God listens…
God is never too busy to listen.
My heart is open.
I come empty,
I come in hope,
I come in need to be made anew.
Come Lord, your presence ...

Hail, Holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy upon us,
and after this, our exile,
sh...

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, by Your radiant and magnificent resurrection, You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before You redeemed us. Your resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our i...

Dear Lord, teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve you as you deserve.
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wound,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to seek reward,
Save that of knowing that
I do your will. Amen.
St. Ignatius of Loyola

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord hear my voice and be attentive to my cry.
If you remember my sin
who could bear it?
No, your glory is your forgiveness.
My soul hopes in the Lord
I take my stand on his word.
More than the sleepless awaiting the dawn, my soul awaits him.
As a vigiler a...

God has created me to do Him some definite service.
He has committed some work to me which
He has not committed to another.
I have my mission.
I am a link in a chain.
I am a bond of connection between people.
He has not created me for nothing.
I shall do good. I shall do His work.
I shall be an a...
