Lord, mighty and majestic,
In splendor are You robed,
Your throne stands fixed and firm,
as it was, from of old.
Your love is always steadfast,
for all of us to see.
We trust in You, our dear Lord,
Trust all of Your decrees.
You’re the Alpha and Omega,
You are full of mercy, Lord.
You are the final Victor.
Your Spirit is our sword.
You’re our freedom from all sin,
to which we have succumbed.
You are the One who is,
Who was, and Who is yet to come.
Dear Jesus, it’s to You we turn
To You we humbly speak;
For we’ve been taught, it is the lost,
You came to save and seek.
Our sons and daughters are now lost,
so far off have they roamed.
Won’t you seek and save them Lord?
And bring each one home?
Grant each of our loved ones,
All the grace they need,
To turn and listen to Your voice.
May it be Your voice they heed.
May their hearts grow, to love Your Word.
For Your Words may they long.
May each one humbly seek the truth;
henceforth to Truth belong.
Have mercy on us, Jesus.
To You, we now cling.
Save our loved ones Master,
Our true and loyal King.
“Why is my pain continuous, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?” (Jer. 15:18)
Lord, at times this heavy cross
can seem too much to bear.
It goes on and on.
Yet, we know that You are there.
Free us from this misery.
Show to us the way,
May Your love and peace shine in us,
shine in us today.
Your love is the answer
To every pierce of pain,
We will find sweet relief,
if in You we remain.
May we find new life in truth,
And find new life in You.
May we stay with You not just today,
but all of our lives through.
“The saints did not all begin well; but they all ended well.” (St. John Vianney)
One need not be a perfect soul, to one day be a saint.
Many saintly souls once had lives of little self-restraint.
Forgive us now, dear Lord, for the times when we were blind;
For the times when we offended You, left sanctity behind.
Put us on the narrow path, which leads to life abundant.
Keep our feet upon this path, our minds off sins redundant.
May all we say, and all we think, and all the things we do,
Be said and thought and done, in a way that pleases You.
Some of our sons and daughters, now march as if abducted,
Along a path of willful sin, where pure love is destructed.
In sync with fallen culture, its depraved, degrading drum,
Of sin they seem oblivious. To sin, they now seem numb.
The enemy has launched on those we love a dangerous attack.
Lord, mine the demons from their souls. Hold the demons back.
Send holy saints to help them, from every saintly region.
Send angels and archangels, send multitudes of angel Legions!
Make haste, send aid, dear loving Lord, to this earthly land of sorrow,
We beg Thee, Lord, do this today. Wait not until tomorrow.
Make the devils powerless. Their havoc, now dispel.
Dispatch the devils from this land. Send them back to hell.
May we now, with those we love, lift our crosses with You,
To be victor in this battle, there are things we need to do.
May we don our Godly armor, bravely stand our royal ground.
In every word we speak henceforth, may truth alone be found.
Let no one steal the truth from us, thus leaving us debased.
May truth be buckled firmly, and secure around our waists.
May righteousness protect our hearts from every evil and all greed;
Righteousness is the breastplate, of which, we are in need.
With feet now, forever shod, in scriptures of peace,
May arguments, hostilities in our lives now cease.
May we live the faith. May faith we humbly acclaim.
May our holy shield of faith, extinguish every evil flame.
May thinking of our final end, inspire penance and oblation.
The helmet which protects our minds, is truth of our salvation
May love of Thy Holy Word, be our heartfelt goal.
Thy Word is the sword, which plunged forth, can pierce the hardened soul.
O Lord, we are imperfect. Yet we strive to lift this cross.
We beg You, Lord, for mercy. Save loved ones on high waves tossed.
Receive our sacrifices. We offer them without complaint.
One day, may we greet loved ones, in paradise, as fellow saints.
Amen+
“…the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
I have my truth. You have Yours.
That’s what some people say.
By truth no more can we agree,
Truth has been quelled today.
As if we could create the truth;
As if truth we control,
As if we had the power
which truth to extol.
As we journey through our lives,
It helps us to know,
That much of what is said as truth,
Is just an empty show.
You will know the truth,
for in truth You will be,
Not enslaved, or bound by chains,
But by truth set free.
Truth is the way to guide us.
Truth is for us a leaven.
Lead us, Lord, to the truth,
Let truth take us to heaven.
