Let Peace Prevail In This World.......

Righteous God, you have taught us that the poor shall have your kingdom, and that the gentle minded shall inherit the earth. Help the Church to identify with the poor and use the resources at its disposal with responsibility and accountability.

AMEN

AMEN

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this life, for the gift of love, and the blessing of our marriage. We give you praise for the joy you've poured into our hearts through this love, for the contentment of family, and the happiness of our home. May we always treasure the experience of loving each other in this holy union. Help us to remain forever committed to our vows, those we made to each other, and to you, Lord.

We will need your strength daily Lord, as we live together with the goal of following and serving you. Develop within is us the character of your Son, Jesus, that we might love each other with the love he demonstrated—with patience, respect, understanding, honesty, forgiveness and kindness.

Let us always be a support to one another—a friend to listen and encourage, a refuge from the storm, and most importantly, a warrior in prayer.

Holy Spirit, guide us through the difficult moments of life and comfort us in our grief. May our lives together bring glory to you, our Savior, and testify of your love.

In Jesus' Name.

Amen.

Almighty God, who enlightened your holy Church through the inspired witness of your evangelist Saint Mark: grant that we, being firmly grounded in the truth of the Gospel, may be faithful to its teaching both in word and deed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever. AMEN.

HOly God, Creator of all, from scripture the risen Christ taught us of his death, resurrection, and ascension into your glorious presence. May the living Lord breathe on us his peace, that our eyes may be opened to recognize him in breaking bread and to follow wherever he leads, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world withour end. AMEN

O God, the Lord of Lords who has chosen to empty yourself of all but love; and demonstrated your humility and obedience by entering into the city of peace, riding on a donkey. Give us grace, that we humble ourselves in service and witness: so that we may be the channels of your peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Hold Spirit, one God, world without end. AMEN

Almighty God, you sent Jesus Christ to proclaim your kingdom and to teach with authority. Anoint us with your Spirit, that we too may bring good news to the poor, bind up the broken-hearted, and proclaim liberty to the captive; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AMEN

God our Father I come to say,

Thank You for Your Love Today;

Thank You for my family

and all the friends

You give to me.

Guard me in the dark of night

and in the morning send Your light.

Amen

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for this beautiful world
With all the great works You do.
They all sing praises to You.
I, too, want to give praise
For the morning light,
the rose so white,
The sun and stars up in the sky.
I named only a few.
Most of all I want to please You
In everything I do!
Please accept my happy song
Of praise to You.
In the name of Jesus I pray.

AMEN

Almighty God, who created human beings in the likeness of your image, which having been distorted through our transgressions was reconciled through the atonement of your son, grant that we may experience this restoration in our lives too, through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives, and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. AMEN

"May today there be peace within; may you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith; may you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God; let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us and allow your soul the freedom"

Mighty and merciful God, you sent Jesus Christ to heal broken lives.
We praise you that today you send healing through doctors and nurses,
and bless us with advances in medicine.
We claim your promises of wholeness as we pray for those who are
ill in body or mind, who long for your healing touch.
Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole,
and confirm those who serve them as agents of your love.
Then all shall be renewed with vigor to point to the risen Christ,
who conquered death that we might live eternally, through the same Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, world without end. AMEN.

Forgive me, O God, for all the times when I was a trouble and nuisance to people today.
Forgive me
   For times when I was stubborn and obstinate;
   For times when I was careless and forgetful;
   For times when I was selfish and unhelpful;
   For times when I was far slower to learn than I need have been;
   For times when I was late and kept people waiting;
   For times when I argued when I should have kept quiet;
   For times when I got in the way, and hindered people and kept them back;
   For times when I made things unpleasant when I did get my own way.
Help me from now on always to make things easier
   and not more difficult for the people with whom
   I live and work, and to help people on the way
   instead of getting in their way.
This I ask for your love’s sake. Amen

O God, thank you for making me as I am.
Thank you for health and strength.
   For eyes to see;
   For ears to hear;
   For hands to work;
   For feet to walk and run;
   For a mind to think;
   For a memory to remember;
For a heart to love;
Thank you for
   Parents who are kind to me;
   Friends who are true to me;
   Teachers who are patient with me;
Thank you for this wonderful life.
   Help me to try to deserve all your gifts a little more.
This I ask for your love’s sake. Amen

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, the true and living way, be thou.
O Master, my companion, guide and guardian during my journey;
deliver and protect me from all danger, misfortune and temptation; that being so defended by Thy divine power, I may have a peaceful and successful journey and arrive safely at my destination. For in Thee I put my trust and hope, and to Thee, together with thy Eternal Father, and the All-Holy Spirit, I ascribe all praise, honor and glory: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

O God our heavenly Father, who lovest mankind, and art most merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon thy servants for whom I humbly pray thee, and commend to thy gracious care and protection.
Be thou, O God, their guide and guardian in all their endeavors, lead them in the path of thy truth, and draw them nearer to thee, that they may lead a godly and righteous life in thy love and fear; doing thy will in all things.
Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout and charitable.
Defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life; and direct them in the way of salvation, through the merits of thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the intercessions of his Holy Mother and thy blessed saints. Amen.

God of truth and love;
Father Son and Holy Spirit, Hear our prayer for those who do not know You.
We ask that they may come to a saving knowledge of the truth and that Your Name may be praised among all peoples of the world.
Sustain, inspire and enlighten Your servants who bring them the Gospel.
Bring fresh vigor to wavering faith; sustain our faith when it is still fragile. Continually renew missionary zeal in ourselves and in the Church;
raise up new missionaries who will follow You to the ends of the world Make us witnesses to Your goodness; full of love, strength and faith – for Your glory and the salvation of the entire world.

We thank Thee, Master and Lover of mankind,
King of the ages and giver of all good things,
for destroying the dividing wall of enmity and
granting peace to those who seek thy mercy.
We appeal to Thee to awaken the longing for a peaceful life in all those who are filled with hatred for their neighbors,
thinking especially of those at war or preparing for war.
Grant peace to thy servants.
Implant in them the fear of Thee and confirm in them love one for another. Extinguish every dispute and banish all temptations to disagreement.
For Thou art our peace and to Thee we ascribe glory: to the
Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Almighty God, Father of all mercies,
we your unworthy servants
give you most humble and hearty thanks
for all your goodness and loving-kindness.
We bless you for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for your immeasurable love
in the redemption of the world
by our Lord Jesus Christ,
for the means of grace and for the hope of glory.
And give us, we pray,
such a sense of all your mercies
that our hearts may be unfeignèdly thankful,
and that we show forth your praise,
not only with our lips but in our lives,
by giving up ourselves to your service,
and by walking before you,
in holiness and righteousness, all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom with you and the Holy Spirit,
be all honour and glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy 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,
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen

Jesus, thank you for loving us;
And providing food, shelter, and each other.
Every moment of our lives is a gift;
And we appreciate all the time You have given us.
Thank you for all our good fortune.
Amen.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
