The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our
trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not
into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
PADRE NUESTRO
(THE LORD'S PRAYER IN SPANISH)
Padre
nuestro que estás en los cielos
Santificado sea tu Nombre
Venga tu reino
Hágase tu voluntad
En la tierra como en el cielo
Danos hoy el pan de este día
y perdona nuestras deudas
como nosotros perdonamos nuestros deudores
y no nos dejes caer en al tentacion
sino que líbranos del malo.
Amen/Así sea
THE PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS
Lord, make me a
channel of thy peace,
that where there
is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there
is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there
is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there
is error, I may bring truth;
that where there
is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there
is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there
are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there
is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that
I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;
to understand,
than to be understood;
to love, than to
be loved.
For it is by
self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by
forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying
that one awakens to Eternal Life.
Father,
thank you for your many blessings; thank you for this day; Lord forgive
me for my transgressions against your will with my impure words,
thoughts and actions. Keep me on the narrow path that leads to the
narrow gate. These things I ask and pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my
Lord and savior. Amen
Dear
Heavenly Father, help me to see what I need to see and to be the person
you need me to be.

The
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Thomas Merton's Prayer
MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am
following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I
may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in
the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.
Lord thank
you for this good day, for my children and my church family.
Thank you
for this beautiful world. Thank you for your presence.
Keep me
close to you.
Gracious
Heavenly Father, thank you for your blessings. May I always have a
grateful heart, knowing that all things come from you. May I always be
thankful in all things and at all times and in all places.
I pray for
health, happiness, prosperity, love and forgiveness, gratitude and
appreciation, honor and respect for family, friends and anyone that may be bothering me.
A Prayer for Easter
CREATOR GOD, HOW GREAT YOU ARE.
AT THIS TIME, LORD, WE CELEBRATE YOUR
POWER AND MAJESTY.
YOU ROLL THE STONES AWAY AND WE ARE
FILLED WITH AWE.
ARISEN LORD, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH.
WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL GIVE US THE DESIRE
AND THE STRENGTH TO ROLL OUR OWN PERSONAL STONES AWAY; AS THERE ARE MANY.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, LORD:
SELFISHNESS, ANGER, JEALOUSY, GRIEF, DEPRESSION, BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS.
ROLL THEM AWAY SO THAT WE CAN LIVE A
RESURRECTED LIFE.
MOVE US AWAY FROM THAT DARK SIDE, SO THAT
WE CAN LIVE IN JOY AND LOVE AND IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THAT WE HAVE
COME IN CONTACT WITH, FOR IT IS IN YOUR SON'S NAME WE PRAY.
