O God, who mercifully bestowed upon us
infinite treasures of love in the Heart of Your Son,
which was wounded for our sins;
grant, we beseech You,
that we who pay Him the devout homage of our piety,
may in like manner show You
our due of worthy satisfaction.

Through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Lord, during this time of anxiety and distress
our patience can run thin. 
Yet deep within us we know
that we can place our trust in you. 
You provide us with the strength we need. 
You do not burden us with any force
that we cannot overcome. 
Sustain us Lord with your overwhelming kindness.

Amen.

– By a Columban Missionary

Lord, I need new energy for life,
to meet all its challenges again.

I need Your help, Your strength,
to overcome all the tiredness I feel.

When I see others in full flight,
see them glide through life
with effortless ease and elation,
I sometimes wonder why.

I get so tired, and everything’s an effort,
but only say the word, Lord, and I shall be healed.

Lord, awaken my spirit with Your healing touch
so I can turn to Your with joy.

Amen.

-- By Columban Fr. Patrick Sayles

Mary, our Queen,
Holy Mother of God,
we beg you to hear our prayer.
Make our hearts overflow with Divine grace
and resplendent with heavenly wisdom.
Render them strong with your might
and rich in virtue.
Pour down upon us the gift of mercy
so that we may obtain the pardon of our sins.
Help us to live in such a way
as to merit the glory and bliss of heaven.
May this be granted us by your Son Jesus
Who has exalted you above the angels,
has crowned you as Queen,
and has seated you with Him
forever on His radiant throne.

Amen.

God our Father, you filled Saint Barnabas
with faith and the Holy Spirit
and sent him to convert the nations.
Help us to proclaim the gospel by word and deed.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings,
You have power over life and death.
You know even things that are uncertain and obscure,
and our very thoughts and feelings are not hidden from You.
Cleanse me from my secret faults,
and I have done wrong and You saw it.
You know how weak I am,
both in soul and in body.
Give me strength, O Lord,
in my frailty and sustain me in my sufferings.
Grant me a prudent judgement, dear Lord,
and let me always be mindful of Your blessings.
Let me retain until the end Your grace
that has protected me till now.

Dear Holy Trinity, united in perfect love,
All Three of You co-existed in one Being.
Oh, Holy Trinity, come down upon me
for I, Your poor miserable servant call upon You.

Oh Father, You are mighty
and have done great things for me.
I am Your servant.
Use me as You wish.
O, loving, caring, Jesus,
You have saved me from total damnation.
How shall I repay You?
Love, Peace and Joy?
Dearest Holy Spirit, without You I would be lost.
You give me the strength I need.
Holy Trinity, I submit myself to You.

Amen.
