Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me forever
and love me, I pray. Bless all of us children in your loving care.

God’s Love and Our Concern
Lord, we remember all our brothers and sisters who are weighed down with suffering.

concern for the hungry, the oppressed, and the unloved.
Help us to acknowledge and grow in appreciation
that all people are made in your image and likeness
Amen
Time Apart
Lord, you went to lonely places to pray.
In my busy days of noise and action,
remind me of my need for time alone and for peace and quiet and silence within.
Be with me now as I pause for a few moments in quietness.
Amen
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
Prayer for Healing
Lord Jesus, we ask you to bring your healing touch to those whom
we know to be sick, afraid or worried.
Bring them your peace and healing.
Amen
To Do Your Will
Lord, make me a better person, more considerate towards others,
more honest with myself, more faithful to you.
Make me generous enough to want sincerely to do your will whatever it may be.
Help me to find my true vocation in life, and grant that through it,
I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others.
Amen
