PRAYER BEFORE THE CRUCIFIX

JESUS LORD,as we look at You our Crucified King,we too want to be moulded into children of God.
Our lives would have no consequence on this earth if we cannot offer it as You did.Speak to our hearts the word of strength that we might rise to live for Your glory.
May not the false and easy offers of this world deceive us into evil.We offer our relationships and communities, our works and words,our motivations and strength at the foot of Your Cross.
In the dark hour of trial,and in the Calvary of our lives may we witness to You by holding firm to what is right and gracious.
We Bless and adore You, Christ our Lord and King of Peace.Amen.  

We pray for women all over the world especially those living in less civilized nations that the love of Jesus our Savior may touch their lives and bring them freedom from want,freedom from disease,freedom from illiteracy,freedom to live a life of equality with men as an equal partner in raising their families and thus glorifying God our creator who meant it to be so.

HEALING PRAYER AT BEDTIME

(When you pray this prayer,Our Lord gently and gradually removes layers of emotional scar tissues while we sleep,allowing us to be happier people.Each night we pray it,we are making a deposit in an account with fantastic dividends.)

In Your wonderful name,JESUS,I ask you to heal me in mind,soul and body.

Every hurt that has been done to me-heal that hurt.Every hurt that I have ever caused to another person-heal that hurt.

All the relationships that have been damaged in my whole life, that I am not aware of-heal those relationships.

But LORD, if there is anything that I need to do-if I need to go to a person because he/she is still suffering from my hand, bring to my awareness that person.I choose to forgive, and I ask to be forgiven.Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart LORD, and fill the empty spaces with Your Love.

Thank You JESUS.                            
                                                                                                                                        Amen

A Prayer for Help against Sin ( Sirach23:1-6)

"O LORD,my Father and Master of my life,do not leave me at the mercy of my own words;don't let them cause my downfall. I wish I could be whipped for my thoughts; so that Wisdom could discipline my mind. I would not want to be spared when I am wrong; I would not want a single sin to be overlooked! Then I would not keep on sinning, making one mistake after another. I could not fall to my enemies and be humiliated by them.

O LORD, my Father, GOD of my life, keep me from being arrogant; protect me from evil desires. Keep me from being overcome by greed or lust; do not leave me at the mercy of these shameless passions."           

Moment of Bliss

There is a small incident which I would like to share with you.
While I was commuting to town by road I came across a Message board put up by a school which said:"Money cannot buy you Happiness but only The Illusion"and I thought how true it is.
One may have everything one needs or gets by the world's standards of happiness BUT there will always be a vacuum inside of you craving for that something to fill it and hence one goes throughout  life in search of it.
When you experience that brief fleeting moment of finding what you were searching for it is sheer BLISS. You have encountered God.
