Prayer to Know Jesus Christ

O Lord Jesus, like Saint Paul, may I count everything as loss in comparison with the supreme advantage of knowing You. I want to know You and what Your passion and resurrection can do. I also want to share in Your sufferings in the hope that if I resemble You in death I may somehow attain to the resurrection from the dead. Give me grace to make every effort to supplement faith with moral courage, knowledge with self-control, self-control with patience, patience with piety, piety with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. May these virtues keep me both active and fruitful and bring me to the deep knowledge of You, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Learning Christ

Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of my life--in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others, in the insincerity of those I trusted, in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.

Let me put myself aside, to think of the happiness of others, to hide my little pains and heartaches, so that I may be the only one to suffer from them.

Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me, not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable; that it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not narrow, haughty and overbearing.

May no one be less good for having come within my influence. No one less pure, less true, less kind, less noble for having been a fellow traveler in our journey toward eternal life.

As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me whisper from time to time, a word of love to Thee. May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power for good, and strong in its purpose of sanctity. Amen.

Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying, Jesus help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations, Jesus help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness, and trials, Jesus help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows, Jesus help me!
When others fail me, and Your grace alone can assist me, Jesus help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender love as a Brother and Saviour, Jesus help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure to see any good come from my efforts, Jesus help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me, Jesus help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work, and I am lonely, Jesus help me!
Always, always, in spite of my weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind, Jesus help me and never forsake me! Amen.

Prayer to Jesus Christ to Obtain His Holy Love

My crucified Love, my dear Jesus! I believe in Thee, and confess Thee to be the true Son of God and my Saviour. I adore Thee from the abyss of my own nothingness, and I thank Thee for the death Thou didst suffer for me, that I might obtain the life of Divine grace. My beloved Redeemer, to Thee I owe all my salvation. Through Thee I have hitherto escaped Hell; through Thee have I received the pardon of my sins. But I am so ungrateful that, instead of loving Thee, I have repeated my offenses against Thee. I deserve to be condemned, so as not to be able to love Thee any more. But no, my Jesus, punish me in any other way, but not in this. If I have not loved Thee in time past, I love Thee now; and I desire nothing but to love Thee with all my heart. But without Thy help I can do nothing. Since Thou dost command me to love Thee, give me also the strength to fulfill this Thy sweet and loving precept. Thou has promised to grant all that we ask of Thee: 'You shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.'

 Confiding, then, in this promise, my dear Jesus, I ask, first of all, pardon of all my sins; and I repent, above all things, because I have offended Thee, O Infinite Goodness! I ask for holy perseverance in Thy grace till my death. But, above all, I ask for the gift of Thy holy love. Ah, my Jesus, my Hope, my Love, my All, inflame me with that love which Thou didst come on earth to enkindle!

 For this end, make me always live in conformity with Thy holy will. Enlighten me, that I may understand more and more how worthy Thou art of our love and that I may know the immense love Thou has borne me, especially in giving Thy life for me Grant, then, that I may love Thee with all my heart and may love Thee always, and never cease to beg of Thee the grace to love Thee in this life; that living always, and dying in Thy love I may come one day to love Thee with all my strength in Heaven, never to leave off loving Thee for all eternity.

O Mother of beautiful love, my advocate and refuge, Mary, who art of all creatures the most beautiful, the most loving, and the most beloved of God, and whose only desire it is to see Him loved! ah, by the love thou barest to Jesus Christ, pray for me, and obtain for me the grace to love Him always, and with all my heart! This I ask and hope for from thee. Amen.

THE CROSS IN MY POCKET

I carry a cross in my pocket, a simple reminder to me
of the fact the I am a Christian no matter where I may be.
This little cross is not magic nor is it a good luck charm.
It isn't meant to protect me from every physical harm.

It's not for identification for all the world to see.
It's simply an understanding between my Savior and me.
When I put my hand in my pocket to bring out a coin or key.
The cross is there to remind me of the price He paid for me.

It reminds me, too, to be thankful for my blessings day by day
and to strive to serve him better in all that I do and say.
It's also a daily reminder of the peace and comfort I share
with all who know my Master and give themselves to His care.

So, I carry a cross in my pocket reminding no one but me;
that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life if only I'll let Him be.
