Jesus was Born to Teach Us

Oh Jesus, our savior, our light

Your heart is always filled with joy 

Even amid intense suffering.

Oh, Jesus, you were born
To teach us to be better people,

But also to suffer in our place. 

For you are the lamb who is called

To take away the sins of the world

You are the greatest teacher in all the world

For your teachings deal with our inner being,

But also teach us how to treat all men,

Friends and enemies alike 

Oh Jesus, help us to live according to your teachings

That our hearts may become one

With the heart of God, our Heavenly Father

Amen  

You Have a Home in Heaven

Repent now,
Repent with honesty of heart
Repent with your mind,
Focus on Jesus, our compassionate Savior,
Repent for your heart and mind are stained with sin

Grow virtue like a garden
Let the streams of God's mercy
Flow into your heart
For he is all good
And all merciful

When you put your trust in the Lord,
He will show you the way to heaven
If you follow that way with all your heart,
It will lead you to heaven
Heaven will become your home

Amen

Keep the Teachings of Jesus in Our Hearts

The gospel is a light to all nations and

The teachings of Jesus

Are a candle to all people.

Because when we keep

The teachings of Jesus in our hearts

And keep them there

It is like oil in a lamp

That provides everlasting grace.

Amen

Sweet Jesus

Oh sweet Jesus, our hope forever

Put your light into our hearts

Spread over us the grace of your flame of love

That we may be holy in our thoughts, words, and deeds

May our hearts be in line with your heart, oh Jesus our Savior

Amen

Mother Mary of Kindness

Dear Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven

Who shows compassion for all people in all places

Pour out your joy, kindness, and love on us all

That we may become better Christians

And better people

Teach us oh Mary to be in step with Jesus

Our true and everlasting Savior

Amen

May Our Hearts Shine

Dear Jesus, our everlasting compassion,

Fill our hearts and minds with grace and blessings

Help us and teach us to be a light to all nations

That our hearts may become 

Like lamps and shine forever

With grace and virtue.

Fill our hearts with kindness

That we may know your way

And teach all people the path of life

Amen

A Lamp in this World

Oh Mother Mary, Mother of God

Be to us a lamp in this world.

Teach us to be better Christians each day

That our hearts may be filled with all grace and virtue

That our minds and hearts may be ever fixed

On Jesus, the savior of all people, all over the earth.

Amen
