O Lord,
My soul
longs for you
My heart
years to receive you
Come, like
the flight of angels
To nourish my
existence and rejoice my life
To inflame me
with such love
That I may
never separate from you. AMEN
(See Gal. 6:7b-8 for additional
reflection)

Sweet Lord,
My sorrow is
revealed
For I detest
my sins
And I seek
your justice
Your kind
and generous justice
I have
offended you and others
I sincerely
resolve
Through the
help of your grace
To sin no
more (and to avoid sinful opportunities).
AMEN
---------------------------------------------------------
May the Lord
preserve me
With His hoy
wisdom (as pure simplicity)

May the Lord
give to me
With holy
virtues (as Christ hopes in me. AMEN

O Lord,
It is my
most sincere hope to show my thankfulness
By being
more like Christ in my daily conduct
I want to
love more than I am loved
I want to
give more than I am given to
Because I am your thankful servant (I love). AMEN

O Holy Spirit,
Please help me to live in your holiness
Help me to turn from sin and begin again
I want to be humble and to be kind
I want to show peace and to show love
I want to be patience and to have joy
I want to be faithful and to show self-control
Live in me, so I can begin again (holy)
In Christ name I pray.

O Lord, It takes:
A sincere heart (for me to see you)
A loving behavior (for me to serve you)
A devoted faith (for me to experience you)
O Divine Master,
I do not know you totally
Until I come closer to you
I do not understand you totally
Until “Your Will” becomes your will within me. AMEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
O God (My Dear Love),
I’ll never know any greater or more wonderful feeling
Than the sweet essence of your love
Come - Blessed God (in three persons)
And relax my soul
To make me happy with you (forever). AMEN D. Cone

O Holy Spirit,
Give me your calmness and peace:
To make my troubles (a belief in you)
To make each daily event (an opportunity for growth)
To make each person (a message from heaven)
O Holy Spirit, calm my
soul
And ease my mind (to take control). AMEN
-------------------------------------------------
Heavenly Father,
When those times come and I can find no words to pray
It becomes easier to pray If Jesus is in my heart
(Father) I let Jesus pray - I allow Him to pray within me
He prays from the silence of my thoughts
I become still and quite, since I cannot speak (He prays).
Accept his prayers - for He knows my heart. AMEN (Ref. Mother Theresa)
-------------------------------------------------------
Jesus, you are before my eyes,
I see your life and ministry (through mental pictures (within
my mind)
Jesus, you are in my heart
Change my waters (of human existences), into the wine (of
your divine life)
Heal me, mend me, and lead me (towards your love). AMEN
------------------------------------------------------
LORD, YOU TELL ME:
If I separate from you
You will find me
You will search me out
To always stay
Traveling all about
Around, covering ground
To always be, what I need
And what I like
(To love and to be loved by my God). AMEN
------------------------------------
Lord, my life is in great need of “your will”
May I see it through your word (scripture)
And your greater church’s teachings
I have a great desire for your standards
To shape my morals and to transform my love
May I respect all life
(children, elderly and the physical & mentally challenged)
May my life be inspired by a desire to be your servant
(Guided by your footsteps). AMEN
--------------------------------------------------
Lord, do I shield myself because of fear of being hurt?
Is my frankness, really openness?
I my bluntness, really love?
Is my surface behavior, caring about others?
If I can’t communicate with myself, how can I communicate
with others?
If I can’t love myself, how can I love others?
Can you help, Lord?
AMEN
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lord, your beauty is within me and it is within others.
Should I keep on hiding and not be able to evolve or change?
It takes you (your love, O Lord) to change me - to improve
me.
It takes a commitment and time
To love, to love more and to love always. AMEN
