(For times of loneliness)

Dear Lord!
Make me remember,
when the world seems cold and dreary
and I know not where to turn for comfort,
that there is always one spot bright and cheerful----the Sanctuary.
When I am in desolation of spirit,
when all who are dear to me have passed away
like summer flowers and none are left to love me and care for me,
whisper to my troubled soul
that there is one Friend who dies not
----one whose Love never changes----
Jesus on the altar.
When sorrow thicken and crush me with their burden,
when I look in vain for comfort,
let me remember Your words:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily
burdened, and I will refresh you."
 
 
 

Prayer to the Shepherd of the Universe

  Shepherd of the Universe,
Who reconcile all peoples,
gather the stray sheep and bind up wounds
with Your healing love,
we ask You to guide and protect every member of the human family.
Bring nations together in peaceful concord
ensuring liberty and justice for all.
Bring peoples of every race and creed
to respect one another in faith, hope, and love
as sons and daughters of the Living God.
Bring Families a deep spirit of love and unity, loyalty,
mutual encouragement and understanding.
Gather up all those who have strayed from Your Love,
who are bitter and cynical,
defiant and rebellious.
Gather up hardened criminals and perverts,
drug pushers and all those who lead others astray.
Gather up all young people who have lost a sense of meaning in life,
who wander aimlessly and hopelessly.
Heal the poor and unwanted,
the dejected and lonely.
Heal the sick and dying,
especially those enduring extreme physical pain
and permanent disabilities.
Heal all mental illnesses and handicaps,
the despairing, drug addicts and alcoholics.
Lord, You have told us many times
that You came to be our Shepherd to rescue us from evil
and to bring us to springs of life.
We thank You for this promise,
for the blood that You have poured down
upon us as the Lamb of God,
bringing us to infinite Love
as You reconciled us to the Father
through Your Spirit, forever and ever.
 
 

Anima Christi

  Soul of Christ, sanctify us.
Body of Christ, heal us.
Blood of Christ, drench us.
Water from the side of Christ, wash us.
Passion of Christ, strengthen us.
Good Jesus, hear us.
In Your wounds, shelter us.
From turning away, keep us.
From the evil one, protect us.
At the hour of our death, call us.
Into Your Presence lead
us, to praise You will all Your Saints forever and ever.
Amen
