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

Following Jesus with Whole Heart

Oh Jesus, most compassionate savior,

Make my soul honest and pure,

Guiding me in the right direction,

For our souls last forever.

Make us true to your teachings,

No matter what it takes,

To live for Christ with all our strength,

Following Jesus with our whole heart.

Help us, Lord, for God is our creator,

He is truly holy and makes us holy,

That we might imitate Christ,

Shining like glowing lights to the world.

Amen

Chaplet of the Sacred Mind of Christ

On the crucifix, say:

Oh my Jesus,

Who is my Teacher, Lord, and Savior,

May Your joy penetrate

Into the innermost part of my heart.

Be my Teacher forever, oh Jesus,

And help me to light up the world

With the light of God

And the oil of compassion.

Amen.

On the crystal beads, say:

Oh Jesus,

Master of the universe,

May we plunge into the waters

Of Your most sacred mind,

And the immaculate mind of Mary most holy.

Amen.

On the red beads, say:

Jesus most holy,

Mary most immaculate,

Show us the way to heaven.

Show us the way of life and compassion.

Amen.

Then, going back to the crucifix,

Say the Our Father.

After you have said the Our Father prayer,

Say one Hail Mary on each red bead.

A Prayer to Christ Our King

Dear Jesus, water of true life, joy, love, and light,

Oh Jesus, teach us to seek virtue, peace, and kindness,

For when our hearts are filled with the Gospel,

They are full of Christ the King.

And in your innermost being, become a shrine for God,

Our heavenly Advisor, in true purity,

That you may belong to Christ, our Savior and Teacher.

Let the flame of love be shining in your heart,

For Christ is now the light of the world.

Being true, we must try, both men and women,

Whoever claims Christ and wants to worship God

In an act of love, with a true heart for all.

Amen.

The Truth That Guides Us

Oh Jesus, be the truth that guides us 

To the light that holds us together 

Be the way in which we must walk 

The path of love, joy, peace, and hope 

Let our minds and hearts be in You 

Bring us together, every guest and every soul 

Cleanse us from our lies, Lord 

So that all may hold true to Your teachings 

For You are the way to God 

May our hearts be made clean by Your blood 

Teach us true compassion 

And the holy teachings of Jesus 

For from the heart flows good and evil 

Yet evil should never be 

So let us hold true to Your teachings 

Jesus, our God, slowly purify our hearts 

For we raise the gospel of Jesus 

Our Savior, true and pure 

Our fullest love, 

Our life and light 

Amen

Let the Flame of Love

Let the flame of love and praise

Lead us closer to God,

Our true Father,

Who is pure forever.

Let this flame of love

Be joyful and compassionate,

For Christ is

That living flame of love.

He shows us the way

In mercy

And true compassion,

Leading us to the Father in Heaven.

Let the Kingdom of Heaven

Speak within our hearts,

For a washed and healed heart

Is a holy heart.

It is healed by Christ

Through His cross.

Amen

To Obey with Devotion

To obey is better than sacrifice,

But to obey with devotion is better still.

For without devotion,

Obedience becomes mere compliance,

As though the will of God

Were the will of human authority.

But He is not human authority.

He is our loving Father,

The Creator of Heaven and earth.

Whoever truly obeys

Must obey with devotion,

For without devotion

There can be no obedience.

Obedience begins in the heart,

Not in the head.

Remember Noah,

Who obeyed with a heart made pure

By the future sacrifice of Christ on the cross,

Though he was not perfect.

He listened,

And followed through with his whole heart

To build the ark.

Every measurement, completed to the letter,

Every piece of wood God told him to use,

Was a prayer.

Every movement was devotion.

For Noah had faith,

And faith led him

To obedience and devotion.

Amen.
