My version of the Lord's Prayer

2008-04-03T16:48:00.000-07:00

Image from WikipediaMy precious heavenly father. You are so holy and just. You are the king of both the living and the dead. May your kingdom come quickly in your return to earth. May your will be done in me in obedience even as it was done in our precious heart the Lord Jesus Christ. Please meet my needs according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Forgive me all the sins that I have committed against both God and men. I willing forgive everyone who has ever said, thought or done any sin against me. Lead me in the paths of your righteousness and keep me on the straight and narrow path of life, protect me from the lies and deception of the devil so that I may please you in all things and bring a smile to your face.

Amen

The Lords Prayer

2008-04-03T16:43:00.000-07:00

Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; They will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael

2008-04-02T16:12:00.000-07:00

Image from WikipediaSaint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, Cast into hell Satan ans all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Forgiving Pains

2008-03-30T05:52:00.000-07:00

To forgive is to accept,
to put behind, let go,
and to remember him up high
who shed his blood for us below.

Wrongfully accused,
although perfect in every way,
Still, he paid the price for sin and gave his life away.

We do not deserve
his pain an agony,
but he chose to forgive,
to love, to set us free.

So when our hearts are in distress
remember what he did:
By death and resurrection
He taught us to forgive.

Easter Message from the Pope

2008-03-30T05:37:00.000-07:00

Man is worth so much to God that he himself became man in an utterly real way, in flesh and blood, as in an utterly real way, in flesh and blood, as is revealed to us in the account of Jesus' Passion... and so the star of hope rises.

Pope Benedict XVI

A Daily Prayer

2008-03-09T12:54:00.001-07:00

Lord,

Take my hand in yours today;
Do not let me go astray.

Take my feet as onward I go,
The correct paths to me show.

Take my tongue each hour today,
Let me say only good things I pray.

Take my eyes and focus on thee,
So I cannot proud nor prejudice be.

Take my thoughts I pray today,
Keep them positive along life's way.

Take now my heart, to Thee I give,
For your Kingdom, let me live.

Amen.
