I will sing and rejoice before you.

PRAYER FOR THE POPE
Dear Lord, who watches over us and your Holy Church, please give our Shepherd, the Pope, strength to carry on his duties with love and faithfulness to your teachings. Give him health of mind and body and courage to teach what is right. Help him to build your church into one of unity and truth and give him strength to continue his work for peace throughout the world. We ask this through the Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.
You are Peter and upon this rock I shall build my church (Matt 16:18)
(Mt 25) I tell you, anything you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me, says the Lord

Mother Teresa says this prayer after communion.

Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and in dying that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi, ca. 1181-1226
[See Luke 1] Hail, Holy Mother! The child to whom you gave birth is the King of Heaven and Earth for ever

Virgin Mary did give birth,
And God's son was now on earth.
He came to show us how to live,
To love, to help, and to forgive.

The shepherds came with steps of fear,
But Mary gently called them near.

The Wise Men came from lands afar,
To tell her they had seen a star.

She even let them hold her Son,
Jesus Christ, the Holy One.

Love is the Christmas gift to bring,
To honour Christ, the New Born King.

(John 1:14, 16) The World of God became man, and lived among us, his riches we have all received.
The Lord will overshadow you, and you will find refuge under his wings. Be filled with the Spirit

Holy Spirit,
help me during this day to love as Jesus did,
so I can please the Father and truly be His child.

Consecration to theHoly Spirit
Dear Holy Spirit, You are my friend. I give You myself. I ask You to dwell deeply inside of me and make me holy. I want to know the fire of God's love. I want to love God with all my heart. Amen.
Come, Spirit of love and peace!
IT'S UP TO YOU
Have YOU made someone happy, or made someone sad,
What have You done with the day that you had?
God gave it to You to do just as you would.
Did You do what was wicked or do what was good?
Did You hand out a smile or give' em a frown,
Did You lift someone up, or push someone down?
Did You lighten some load or some progress impede,
Did You look for a rose, or just gather a weed?
What did you do with your beautiful day,
God gave it to You, did you just throw it away?

(John 15) The Lord says, I have chosen you from the world to go and bear the fruit that will last.
[1 Peter 2:9] You are a people God claims as His own, to praise Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light
[1 Peter 2] Jesus carried our sins into his own body on the cross so that we could die to sin and live in holiness; by his wounds we have been healed
Matt.28 (38-54) Paraphrased
Two robbers were crucified with Jesus that morning, one on either side of Him and the people passing by yelled abuse at Him, shaking their heads and saying, "If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." And the chief priests and the Jewish leaders also made fun of Him...
That afternoon, the whole earth was covered with darkness for three hours, from noon until three o'clock. Then Jesus cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Then Jesus shouted out again, gave up His Spirit and died.
The earth shook, large rocks broke apart, tombs opened up and many of the dead came out of their graves. The temple curtain split apart from top to bottom. The soldiers were terribly frightened by the earthquake and all that happened and exclaimed, "Surely, this was God's Son."
Jesus Prayer
Jesus, Son of the Living God, Have mercy on us.
I SEE GOD IN THE EYES OF EVERY CHILD

We are created in the image of God, in the image of Jesus as a human being. Every child has been created for a greater thing - to love and be loved. From the very beginning from the time there is life from the time there is conception there is the life of God -the life of the living God.That is why it is so wrong to destroy life -to destroy the image of God.

MOTHER TERESA

She gave birth to a Son, a male child who is to rule over all the nations (Rev. 12(5))
LOVELY LADY
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray.
God was just your little Boy
Tell me what he has to say!
Did you lift Him up sometimes
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother did to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world? Oh! And did He cry?
Do you really think He really cares
If I tell Him things
Little things that happen?
And Do the angel's wings
Make a noise? And can He hear Me if I speak low?
Does he understand me now? Tell me, for you know!
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray
He was just your little Boy,
And you know the way.
-Marv Dixon Thaver
Paraphrased
From the Gospel of John, Chapter 17
Prayer of Jesusfor His followers.
Father, keep those you have given me
in your care so that they will be united
in heart and mind...
Make them pure and holy through teaching
them your words and truth... Keep them
safe from Satan's power...
As you sent me into the world, I am sending
them into the world and I consecrate myself
to meet their needs for growth in truth and holiness...
I am praying for all future believers who will come to Me because of the testimony of these disciples... Holy Father, keep them in your own care, those you have given me...

I love them as much as you love me and Iwant them with me so that they may seeMy glory, the glory We shared before theworld began...
When Jesus walked this earth, He took time to leave those around Him that He might be united to the Father in prayer. For in prayer He found the source of tghe strength He needed
