Be faithful and lose not one opportunity of merit that presents itself to you

Prayer to Our Lady of the Smile: Gentle Mary, my Mother. I place before you the worries, hurts and hopes of my heart. They shrink my soul and I feel heavy and hopeless. Darkness closes in around me.

I reach out to you, bright Lady of Hope,. Smile on me. Smile on my loved ones and the intentions I place before you.

Your tender smile works miracles and heals as you did with St. Therese, the Little Flower. You are my true Mother. You show the tender mercy of God. Smile on me, Blessed Mother and all will be well.

Love one another, each one always, in good or bad, not minding how things seem

 

The Miracle Prayer: Lord Jesus, I come before You, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins. Please forgive me. In Your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever I invite You into my life. I accept You as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit.

Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your Precious Blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I love You Lord Jesus. I praise You Jesus. I thank You Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.

Keep up your courage - we do not live here forever

Loving God, be my strength when I weaken, my courage when I fear. Help me to know that it is Your hand holding mine through all the hours of this day. And when night falls, grant that I may know I rest in Your Sacred Heart. Amen.

Let us show love in our acts bearing with one another, forgiving and forgetting

Heavenly Father, walk with me today, and grant that I may hear Your footsteps and gladly follow where they lead. Talk with me today and grant that I may hear you tender voice, and quicken to its counsel. Stay with me today and grant that I may feel Your gentle presence in all I do, say and think, Amen.

With all the love in my heart, I pray that God may bless us all!

God bless us all!!!

Let us try to keep God with us

Lord help me to remember
No task I face today
Will be greater than the strength You give
To help me on my way,
No burden is too heavy, if shared my Lord with You.
Nothing is too difficult, for You and I to do
However hard the task may be
That I have got to face
Sufficient strength You give to me
With Your unfailing grace.
Lord help me to remember
That You are always there
Your loving arms surround me
And my whole life You share...

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. 

Amen.
