Mary, you stand at the crossroads
Of time and eternity
Intersection of all creation

A desire as old as Eden
Burning in your soul
The yearning of every child

Who has graced the earth
Embodiment of humanity’s Hope
Of Redemption, Restoration

You have held in your heart
The wandering aridity
Of the desert and there

God comes to find you
Lifting you up and keeping
You the apple of His eye

Humanity has found
A response to God in you
From you is deliverance

Brought forth in Christ
In whom we are born and breathe
Our perfect peaceful consummation

Healing for our scars
Amen

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Continue reading →

Night Prayer to Our Lady

Night is falling dear Mother and the long day is o’er
And before your dear image I am kneeling once more
To thank you for bringing me safe through the day
And to ask you this night to keep evils away

Many times have I fallen today Mother dear
Many graces neglected since last I knelt here
Will you not in pity my dear Mother mild
Ask Jesus to pardon the sins of His child

In His book they are written against the Last Day
O Mother ask Jesus to wash them away
For one drop of His Blood which for sinners is spilt
Is sufficient to cleanse the whole world from its guilt

And if ere the dawn I should draw my last breath
And the sleep I should take be the long sleep of death
Be near me dear Mother for Jesus’ dear sake
When my soul on eternity’s shore shall awake

Dear St. Rita, model wife and widow, saint of the impossible – you yourself patiently suffered a long illness for the love and glory of God. Teach us to pray as you did. Full of confidence in your intercession, we ask you to come to help us not only in our personal needs but we ask you to bless our marriages, homes and country at this critical time. We pray for the intentions which we speak in the silence of our hearts (name the intention) and may the answer to our prayer be for the glory of God and the salvation of all.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen
