Traditional Prayer to
Our Lady of Sorrows
Memorial:
Tuesday15 th September
O Mother of Sorrows, most afflicted of all mothers!
I look to you with confidence and love.
As I meditate upon the swords of sorrow
that pierced your Immaculate Heart,
obtain for me the grace of true repentance and the
courage to bear my own sufferings with patience.
Holy Mary, stand by me in my trials,
care for me in my many needs,
and pray for me now and at the hour of my death.
Amen .
A Prayer for the Earth (from Laudato Si, 246)
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole
universe and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten
of this earth, so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty,
not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you
for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray,
in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.
How Great Thou Art
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the works thy hand has made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
And when I think: that God his Son not sparing
Sent him to die - I scarce can take it in:
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died, to take away my sin ( Chorus)
Parish Choir Practice Monday 7.15pm
Freely
God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name
I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share his love as he told me to.
Chorus: He said freely, freely you have received;
Freely, freely give,
Go in my name and because you believe
Others will know that I live.
All power is given in Jesus’ name
In earth and heaven in Jesus’ name,
And in Jesus’ name I come to you,
To share his power as he told me to. (Chorus)
