Stay with Me

My Jesus, may the remainder of my life be entirely devoted to you;  may it be spent in peaceful effort to draw others to know and love you better.  And, when weary with labour I sigh for the sweetness of repose, may I ever find it in your sacramental presence here in my Parish Church.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;

Body of Christ, save me;

Blood of Christ, inebriate me;

Water from the side of Christ, 

wash me;

Passion of Christ, strengthen me,

O good Jesus, hear me;

Within Thy wounds, hide me;

Separated from Thee never let me be;

From the evil one, protect me;

At the hour of my death, call me,

And bid me come to Thee,

that with Thy saints

I may praise Thee, for ever and ever.

Amen.

EVENING SIGH at Lourdes France

Our Lady's Grotto, Lourdes, France, October, 2013

O Lady, My Mother, in your apparitions you expressed a desire that we pray the Rosary.  At Lourdes you appeared eighteen times and invited Bernadette to recite the Rosary with you.  In each of the six apparitions at Fatima, you insisted on the recitation of the Rosary.  You made your appearance with the Rosary in your hands and said, " Iam the Lady of the Rosary, and have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins.  They must not continue to offend Our Lord Who already is so deeply offended.  They must say the Rosary."

EVENING SIGH from Alpnachstad, Switzerland

THOU Guide of virgin-hosts,

Fair Mother of the Lord,

Who gavest back what Adam lost,

Earth's Hope and heaven's Reward.

Thou Lily 'mid the thorns,

Thou snowy-plumed Dove,

Thou budding Rod that God adorns

With healing fuit of love.

Thou unassailed Tower,

Thou Star that breakest night,

From evil shield us by thy power,

And lead us by thy light.

The shades of sin dispel,

The hidden snares remove

And midst the ocean's surging swell,

A saving pathway prove.

Be praise and honor meet

To Jesus, Virgin-born,

To Father and to Paraclete,

Throughout the endless morn. 

V.  Pray for us, Queen of the heavens.

R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
