Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to you in this time of illness.
O dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love,

Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask
that you restore your servant to health again.

Steer the ship of my life, good Lord, to your quiet harbour, where I can
be safe from the storms of sin and conflict. Show me the course I should take. Renew in me the gift of discernment, so that I can always see the right direction in which I should go. And give me the strength and the courage to choose the right course, even when the sea is rough and the waves are high, knowing that through enduring hardship and danger in your name we shall find comfort and peace.

God is our hope and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved,
and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof rage and swell,
and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

 
Judaism
 
 
HaShem answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the
God of Jacob set thee up on high;
Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion.
We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we
will set up our standards; HaShem fulfill all thy petitions.
Now know I that HaShem saveth His anointed; He will answer him
from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

O God, you are my Lord. There is none worthy of worship except You. I rely upon You, and You are the Great Lord of the Throne. Whatever God wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. There is no power or strength except by God. I know that God is able to do anything, and that God knows all. O God I seek refuge in You from the evil in myself and every creature that You have given power over us. Verily my Lord is on the straight path.

Give us strength and fortitude to ride the tides of change, and empower us always to be nurturing and loving with one another. Open our spiritual eyes that we may see one another for who we truly are... and love one other in the same spirit.

May sadness, disappointment and anger be minimal; may happiness, positive thoughts and good experiences together be bountiful. May we always cope, and hope, with each other... with grace.

O Great Spirit, whose voice we hear in the winds
and whose breath gives lifeto all the world, hear us.

We are small and weak. We come to you to find strength and
wisdom. Let us walk in beauty and make our eyes
ever behold the sunset.

Make our hands respect the things you have made
and our ears sharp to hear your voice.

Make us wise so that we may understand
the things you have taught our relatives. Let us learn the lessons
you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

We seek strength, not to be greater than our brothers and
sisters, but to fight our greatest enemy-ourselves.

Make us always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset our spirit may
come to you without shame.

I look to Thee in every need, and never look in vain;
I feel Thy strong and tender love, and all is well again.
The thought of Thee is mightier far than sin and pain and sorrow are.

Discouraged in the work of life, disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road.
But let me only think of Thee and then new heart springs up in me.

Thy calmness bends serene above, my restlessness to still;
Around me flows Thy quickening life, to nerve my faltering will.
Thy presence fills my solitude, Thy providence turns all to good.

Enfolded deep in Thy dear love, held in Thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold, and all things in Thy hand.
Thou leadest me by unsought ways, and turn my mourning into praise.

God of the seasons, there is a time for everything; there is a time for dying and a time for rising. We need courage to enter into the transformation process.

God of autumn, the trees are saying goodbye to their green,
letting go of what has been. We, too, have our moments of surrender, with all their insecurity and risk.
Help us to let go when we need to do so.

God of fallen leaves lying in colored patterns on the ground, our lives have their own patterns. As we see the patterns of our own growth,
may we learn from them.

God of misty days and harvest moon nights, there is always the dimension of mystery and wonder in our lives. We always need to recognize your power-filled presence. May we gain strength from this.

God of harvest wagons and fields of ripened grain, many gifts of
growth lie within the season of our surrender. We must wait for
harvest in faith and hope. Grant us patience when we do not see
the blessings.

God of geese going south for another season, your wisdom
enables us to know what needs to be left behind and what needs
to be carried into the future. We yearn for insight and vision.

God of flowers touched with frost and windows wearing white designs, may your love keep our hearts from growing cold in the empty seasons.

God of life, you believe in us, you enrich us, you entrust us with the freedom to choose life. For all this, we are grateful.

Padre Nuestro
 
Our Father


The Lord’s Prayer

Padre nuestro,
que estás en el cielo.
Santificado sea tu nombre.
Venga tu reino.
Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.
Perdona nuestras ofensas,
como también nosotros perdonamos
a los que nos ofenden.
No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.
Amén.


Oración a Jesús Crucificado
Prayer to the crucified Jesus

Mírame, oh mi amado y buen Jesús,
que postrado ante tu divina presencia,
te ruego con el mayor fervor, que imprimas en
mi corazón los sentimientos de fe, de esperanza,
y de caridad, dolor de mis pecados y propósito de
jamás ofenderte, mientras que yo, con todo el
amor y con toda la compasión de que soy capaz,
voy considerando tus cinco llagas, comenzando
por aquello que dijo de Ti el santo profeta David:
"Han taladrado mis manos y mis pies,
y se pueden contar todos mis huesos"
 

 

El Credo
The Apostles’ Creed

Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso,
creador del Cielo y de la Tierra.
Creo en Jesucristo su único Hijo, Nuestro Señor,
que fue concebido por obra y garcia del Espíritu Santo;
nació de Santa María Virgen;
padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato;
fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado;
descendió a los infiernos;
al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos;
subió a los cielos y está a la diestra de Dios Padre;
desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, en la Santa Iglesia Católica,
la comumión de los Santos en el perdon de los pecados
la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna.
Amén.

 

Magnificat

Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor,
se alegra mi espíritu en Dios, mi salvador;
porque ha mirado la humillación de su esclava.

Desde ahora me felicitarán todas las generaciones,
porque el Poderoso ha hecho obras grandes por mí su nombre es santo, y su misericordia llega a sus fieles de generación en generación.

El hace proezas con su brazo:
dispersa a los soberbios de corazón,
derriba del trono a los poderosos y enaltece
a los humildes, a los hambrientos
los colma de bienes y a los ricos los despide vacíos.

Auxilia a Israel, su siervo,
acordándose de la misericordia - como lo había
prometido a nuestros padres- en favor de
Abrahán y su descendencia por siempre
 

Acto de Contrición
Act of Contrition

Dios mío, me pesa de todo corazón haberte ofendido,
y te pido perdón por todos mis pecados, no tanto
porque ellos atraen sobre mí las penas y el infierno,
sino porque te han crucificado a Ti, amante Salvador
Jesús, y porque han ofendido a Ti, amante Salvador
Jesús, y porque han ofendido tu bondad infinita.
Propongo firmemente, con la ayuda de tu gracia,
confesarme, cumplir la penitencia, y enmendar
mi vida. Amén
.

Señor mío, Jesucristo, Dios y hombre verdadero,
Creador, Padre y Redentor mío; por ser Tú quien
eres y porque te amo sobre todas las cosas,
me arrepiento de todo corazón de todo lo malo
que he hecho y de todo lo bueno que he dejado
de hacer, porque pecando te he ofendido a Ti,
que eres el sumo bien y digno de ser amado sobre
todas las cosas. Ofrezco mi vida,
obras y trabajos en satisfacción de mis pecados.
Propongo firmemente, con la ayuda de tu gracia,
hacer penitencia, no volver a
pecar y huir de
las ocasiones de pecado.
Señor, por los méritos de tu pasión y muerte,
apiádate de mí, y dame tu gracia para nunca
más volverte a ofender. Amén
.
