There Is No Way Without Jesus

Oh Jesus, Your name is compassion,
Forever and unending.
You forgive,
And You give wisdom
To all who seek You
With honest hearts. 

First we seek God’s wisdom
With honesty of heart and mind.
For how can trust be given
Unless our hearts are open? 

You are the Father
Of love,
Of life,
Of light.
And in Christ
Your will is made known. 

There is no way to Heaven
Except through Jesus
Through His teaching,
His love,
His peace,
His joy,
And His mercy. 

Amen.

Love God First

The only true hope of salvation is this:
To try to live God’s will,
The best you can,
With God’s help. 

For you need His help daily
To listen,
To follow,
To live. 

For His will is love: 
Love God first,
First and above all,
And love all people second. 

Listen to the Gospel.
Listen to the teaching of Jesus.
God will not break your free will;
He cannot go against it. 

So if you desire salvation,
Live the Gospel as best you can,
With God’s help.

Amen

Soft or Tough, As Needed

Oh sweet Jesus,
Bind our hearts together
In truth, and love, and virtue.
Grant that we remain pure,
Ever mindful in how we think,
How we speak,
What we do.

Hold us deep within your heart,
Pure compassion
Full of mercy,
Full of truth.
Let your grace
Teach us to love god,
And teach our hands
To do good for others.

Your love is everlasting,
True and pure compassion
The way of Jesus
Compassionate to all He met,
On the road,
By the well,
Within the temple.
Sometimes gentle,
Sometimes strong,
Soft or tough
As needed
Both in body and soul. 

Amen.

Mary the Lamp, Jesus the Oil

We know that Jesus is God
True, pure, humble, and full of mercy.
Mercy rests on His right hand, justice on His left.
But because He is God incarnate, Mary is the Mother of God.
So we must be true to Jesus, our Teacher and Savior.
We must also be true to Mary, who faithfully leads us to Him.
For Mary is the lamp and Jesus the oil
Pure oil of the living God, lighting the hearts of the faithful.
Hearts bearing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
Goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self‑control.
For against these things there is no law.
Be true to Jesus; bear the Spirit’s fruit.
Live the Christian life with the help of God and the love of Mary,
For her heart is true and her love is pure.

Amen

One Foot in Each Boat

Mary is the mother of all who keep the gospel
Who hold the teachings of Jesus close to the heart
Holding virtue and justice, yet always compassion
So their judgment is never anger or malice
But a gentle push leading us away from sin toward Christ

For Christ is the way, the truth, and the life
And His teachings are life‑giving
So let us be compassionate, truthful, loving, and caring
In all we think, and say, and do

For any path without honesty leaves Jesus behind
And no one can walk the path of dishonesty
And carry the gospel
At the same time

For the one with a foot in each boat
Falls between them and is lost
It is fatal to walk without Jesus
Or with unforgiveness or unholiness

So choose the path of Jesus
For the choice we make now
Shapes the life to come
And what awaits us when we die
Amen
