Hail Mary, Mother of Light and Love

Hail Mary, full of grace,

The Lord is with you.

Blessed are you among women,

And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy mother of light and love,

Let the attitude of your holy Son

Penetrate our hearts and minds forever.

Amen

Pure Water from a Well

Dear Christ, King of Peace, Prince of Compassion,

Be to all men a light forever,

To enlighten your minds and hearts daily.

Oh Christ, our true King,

May His mercy teach us the way as a compass.

May Christ be true to us

Who desire with all our heart to follow His teachings.

For His teachings are life everlasting,

Like pure water drawn from a well,

Washing the heart and mind from sins,

Both big and small, mortal and venial.

His teachings are like honey—

Sweet, pure, and gentle.

Work on having compassion daily

That with the attitude of Christ,

You might grow in the knowledge of God the beloved Father.

His teachings spread loving kindness over all the Earth,

But above all, His true teachings

Are a light to the nations.

Amen

Shrine of Delight

Oh Jesus, Son of God, Joy of Life,
May the heart of all true Christians
Become an everlasting shrine.

Guide the nations to our dearly beloved,
Our heavenly Father above
Let us be true to Christ our healer,
Our teacher and holy flame of love.

With everlasting compassion,
May our hearts forever remain
A true and holy shrine
For the worship of His name.

May our hearts become a shrine of delight
For the Lord of truth and life.

Amen

The Light Through Every Dark Place

Believe in the teachings of Jesus,

For they are the path

And the way to Heaven.

Let His teachings be a lamp

For every person on this earth.

Do not let anything distract you

From following the teachings of Christ.

For the teachings of Christ

Are not optional

If we desire to enter Heaven.

The Gospel holds great power.

It is the power of God

For the salvation of everyone who believes.

To believe in Jesus

Means more than mental assent.

It means following after Him

With your whole heart,

Mind, soul, and strength.

Do not let anyone tell you

That the teachings of Jesus are optional.

He is God in the flesh,

And His teachings are the teachings

Of God Almighty.

They are the light

That guides our way

Through every dark place.

If we seek to know Jesus,

Follow His teachings the best we can,

And do not turn aside from them,

Then, with God's help,

We will come to understand Him more deeply.

Amen

Dear Christ, Our True and Compassionate King

Make our hearts humble,

Contrite, and generous,

With the truth that comes

From our Heavenly Father.

Let our hearts be made true and pure,

And pleasing to God.

For God delights

In honest contrition from the heart.

May we come before You

With sincerity and humility.

For this is the first step

To knowing and loving God.

Guide us in Your truth,

Fill us with Your compassion,

And keep us close to You.

Amen

A Heart Made Ready for Jesus

May our hearts be prepared

In true humility, honesty,

And filled with love, light,

And selfless compassion.

For the compassion of Jesus

Is better than life.

May our hearts be made ready

For Jesus to enter them,

So that His life and light

May live forever in our hearts.

May Your truth shine clearly within us,

And gently lead us away from sin.

Help us become more loving,

More compassionate people in Christ.

Just as a caterpillar

Turns into a butterfly

According to God's will,

So, God willing,

May we become new people,

Now and forever.

Amen

Jesus, Our Joy and Our Way

Jesus, true Love and Wisdom made flesh,

Our Savior, forever near,

Make our hearts wise, simple, humble,

And truly compassionate.

May Your grace flow through our hearts,

Bringing comfort and mercy to others.

Let us live in the joy of Christ,

The joy that heals body, mind, and spirit.

May our hearts grow holy,

As we seek our dear and loving Heavenly Father.

All worship belongs to God,

Through Christ, His beloved Son.

O Sweet Jesus,

Teach us to be faithful to Your name and teachings.

For Your teachings are the Way,

The Truth, and the Life.

Help us to live them with sincerity,

With honesty of heart,

And with a desire for salvation.

O Jesus, our Savior,

Help us to live each day in a way that brings glory to You.

Help us to live Your Gospel,

And to carry our cross with trust and gratitude.

When the cross feels heavy,

Help us remember that You carry it with us.

Your teachings are not a burden

To the heart that seeks You.

Lead us in humility, faith, and love,

And keep us always close to You.

Amen
