If you have time read or maybe you may share to us your prayer.

A Prayer that could uplift a weary soul, a prayer of thanksgiving, prayer of Hope, Peace and of Joy.


Lord, Teach Us to Pray (Luke 11:1-4)


Pax et Bonum.


Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life today that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin.

Let me use disappointment as material for patience;
Let me use success as material for thankfulness;
Let me use suspense as material for perseverance;
Let me use danger as material for courage;
Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering;
Let me use praise as material for humility;
Let me use pleasures as material for temperance;
Let me use pains as material for endurance.

A Franciscan Benediction

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done,
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self centred;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will be often forgotten;
Do good anyway

Give the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

The man of our time does not know how to pray; but much more than that, he has neither the desire nor the need to do so. He does not find the deep source of prayer within himself. I am acquainted with this man. I know him so well. It is I myself.
(Prayer and Modern Man, p.vi)

Liham ng Ama't Ina sa Anak With Fr. Jerry Orbos

Mahal kong anak,


Sa aking pagtanda...unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensyahan kapag dala ng kalabuan ng aking mata ay nakakabasag na ako ng pinggan o nakakatapon ng sabaw sa ating hapag-kainan.

Anak, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan... Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Kinaaawaan ko ang aking sarili sa tuwing ako’y iyong sinisigawan.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko naiintindihan ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng bingi. Anak, pakiulit na lang ang sinabi mo o kaya naman anak pakisulat na lang. Pasensya ka na anak, matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko, anak, pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo katulad ng pag-alalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad. Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako, anak, kung ako man ay naging makulit o paulit-ulit na para bang sirang plaka.

Basta, anak, pakinggan mo na lamang ako. Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.

Natatandaan mo ba, anak, noong bata ka pa? Kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo ‘yung sinasabi mo sa akin. Maghapon kang mangungulit kapag hindi ko maibibigay ang gusto mo. Pinagtiyagaan ko anak ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana, anak, ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda, amoy lupa. Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo, mahina na ang katawan ko eh. Madaling magkasakit kapag nalalamigan. At huwag mo sana akong pandidirihan.

Natatandaan mo ba, anak...noong bata ka pa pinagtitiyagaan kitang habulin hanggang sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo. Pagpasensyahan mo sana, anak, kung madalas, ako’y masungit dahil siguro sa katandaan na nga.

Alam ko anak pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin ako.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkuwentuhan naman tayo kahit sandali lang. Please anak. Inip na inip na ako sa bahay. Maghapong nag-iisa, walang kausap. Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho mo. Subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakuwentuhan kang muli kahit alam kong hindi ka na interesado sa mga kuwento ko.

Anak, naalala mo pa ba noong bata ka...pinagtitiisan kong pakingggan ka at intindihan ang pautal-utal mong kuwento at ang kakulitan mo na pautal-utal mong sinasabi tungkol sa kalaruan mo.

At anak, kapag dumating na ang sandali na ako’y magkakasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman ay huwag mo sana akong pagsawaang alagaan. Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi na sa aking hinihigaan. Pagtiyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay...tutal, anak, hindi na ako magtatagal.

At kapag dumating na ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay at bigyan ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan. At huwag kang mag-alala, anak, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha sa ating lahat, ibubulong ko sa Mahal na Panginoon na sana ay pagpalain ka dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong Ama at Ina.

One of my favorite prayers especially when I perceive unusual/demonic temptations



Prayer to St. Micheal the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice 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, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Latin Translation:

Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium. Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen
