Sometimes O Lord I wonder
Why you would love lill me
For I am such a sinner
Anyone can see
But Lord Your love attracts me
Like a magnet to the fridge
And I walk across it
Run across its bridge
You wait across the ocean
Calling little me
Until each cry pierces my heart
I come running back to Thee
Let me stand below You
Catch Your falling tears
Saturate my soul
Drown out all the fears
Please don't cry no more my Lord
Your sorrow breaks my heart
How can I comfort Thee, O Lord?
And cause it to depart?
Take everything of me
Take anything You wish
If it would help Your sorrow Lord
And blow Thee a little kiss
Maketh me a victim soul
Smother me in pain
And let little me take away Your tears like falling rain
AMEN!

O Mother! -
O Mother when you look upon me,
Straight through my soul,
See not all the horror,
But see that You're my goal
Don't look into my eyes
And see my many sins
But see your own reflection
And the love I have for Him
Have mercy on your children!
Help us learn Your ways!
To imitate Your love
Till the end of days
Bless us O please Mother
Fill us with Your peace
Take away our sorrows
Give our souls release!
AMEN!
PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS
O I try my Lord
O I really do
To sacrifice
To pray
To be holy just like you
But Lord I fail so often
It must really break your heart
Such sorrow I must give You
Yet Your love does not depart
I want to be just like You
More so every day
And imitate you always
In every little way
How many times I've cried
And begged You to forgive
How much longer can You do so
When sin's much of what I live
But I dare to ask again
Beseech through Thy Holy name
Through blood shed upon Thy cross
To forgive me all the same
Please O Lord, have mercy
Take pity on my soul
Forgive me my iniquity
And make my spirit whole
Prayer to be said anytime
O Lord, I am unworthy of but whispering a word of love to You. Have mercy
on me! Grant me understanding so that I might become wiser in Your grace, and
with such understanding, gain strength to withstand the devil's temptations.
Help me to be better Lord, so that I can help spread Your love throughout
the world. Take away my blindness; fill me with Your grace, so that it
shines in me, and breaths a blessing as it streams through me to whoever
I pass along my journeys. But only if it's compatible with Your Most Holy
Divine Will. Amen.
Prayer for Prayer Lists:
O Lord, through Your loving mercy, receive all the prayer lists of the world
into the supremacy of Your heart of all hearts! Allow each to bathe in the
sunshine of Your love, purifying any faults they possess. Listen to their
prayers O Lord, through Your immaculate and endless compassion. Perfect each
prayer, cleanse each tear, wipe away evil and sow Your infallible love into
the heart of each member. Amen.
O my Lord,
Taketh me into your arms
Let me sooth your wounds
Turn me into precious balm
So I can ease Thy pains
But I fear I lack the strength
To withstand what's done to Thee
So I beg of Thee for strength
Please hear this petty plea
Take my heart O Lord
Towards Thy grievous one
Then take out Thy sword
And strike it into mine
It's what little I can do
To take away Thy grief
Let me do this much for Thee
For You've done much more for me
Prayer to unite sacrifices and prayers
O Lord, O loving Master
I have something to give Thee
But I want to make it greater
Could you please helpeth me?
Before I give it to You Lord
Send Your Angels to collect
Other prayers and sufferings
Please do not forget
Unite them in a bundle
Wrap them in Your grace
Tie a ribbon of Thy love
And give it Thy embrace
Then it will be holy
Good in Father's eyes
Done with all Your love
Nothing can despise
Now see this humble gift
Accept it if you may
For Thee and Thy intentions
These prayers we say today
