Prayer for Peace (St. Francis of Assisi)

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.   Where there is hatred, let me sow love;  Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.   O Divine Master, grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen And as we begin this Advent holy season :  At this Christmas, when Christ Comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of advent by loving and serving the others with God’s own love and concern. —Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta

NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Let us once again pray together for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – a heart that overflows with love for each and every one of us.During Catholic Education Week, we celebrated that we are many and we are one. Our provincial symposium reminded us that we are also all “On the Way”! Together, on the journey, we pray. We place our trust in you, Lord… ON THE WAY.You call us to love God and love our neighbour… ON THE WAY.You are with us in times of trouble … ON THE WAY.You call us to be generous and helpful to those we meet … ON THE WAY.You give us yourself as living bread – food for the journey… ON THE WAY.You call us to be peacemakers … ON THE WAY.Let our light shine … ON THE WAY.Teach us … ON THE WAY.Jesus, give light to our learning … ON THE WAY.Remind us that we never walk alone … ON THE WAY.
