LORD BLESS YOUR PEOPLE Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance. Rule them and uphold them for ever and ever. Day by day we praise you: we acclaim you now and to all eternity. In your goodness, Lord, keep us free from sin. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. May your mercy always be with us, Lord, for we have hoped in you. In you, Lord, we put our trust: we shall not be put to shame.  Pauline Prayer of the Church Psalm 27

Daily Prayer at Mass Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love. I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him.   Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him. Psalm 62 In God alone is my soul at rest, my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock, my salvation, my fortress; never shall I fear. How long will you all attack one man to break him down, as though he were a tottering wall, or a tumbling fence? The plan is only to bring down, they take pleasure in lies. With their mouth they utter blessing, but their heart they curse. In God alone be at rest my soul, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock, my salvation, my fortress; never shall I falter…..

Before your holy Altar Father I bow in adoration and thanksgiving to you.  For you O LORD is worthy of all worship, praise, adoration and thanksgiving.  Father you will never share your glory, may your glory fill the whole world, and grant us peace.    HING  psaume 86 Psalm 15 LORD, who may abide in your tent, and dwell on your holy mountain? He who walks without fault, and speaks the truth from his/her heart; who does not slander with his/her tongue; who does no wrong to a neighbour, who casts no slur on a friend, who looks with scorn on the wicked, but honours those who fear the LORD. Who keeps an oath, whatever the cost, who lends money with no interest, and accepts no bribes against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

PRAYER FOR VICTORY with the Lord there is mercy Psalm 20 May the LORD answer you in time of trial; may the name of Jacob's God protect you. May he send you help from his holy place, and give you support from Zion. May he remember all your offerings, and receive your sacrifice with favor. May he give you your heart's desire, and fulfill every one of your plans. May we ring out our joy at your victory, and raise banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your prayers.

Psalm 24 Who shall climb the mountain of the LORD? who shall stand in his holy place? The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose soul is not set on vain things, who has not sworn deceitful word. Blessings from the LORD shall he/she recieve, and right reward from the God who saves him. Such are are the people who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. O gates, lift high your head; grow higher, ancient doors. Let him enter, the King of glory! Who is this king of glory? The LORD, the mighty, the valiant, the LORD, the valiant in war.

Psalm 104  24-35 How may are your works, O Lord. in wisdom you have made them all The earth is full of your creatures. Vast and wide is the span of the sea, with its creeping things past counting, my God accept my heart this day living things great and small. The ships are moving there, and Leviathan you made to play with. You hide your face, they are dismayed; you take away their breath, they die, returning to the dust from which they came. You send forth your spirit, and they are created. and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the LORD last for ever! May the LORD rejoice in his works! He looks on earth and it trembles; he touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD all my life, sing psalms to my God while I live. May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will rejoice in the LORD. Let sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked exist no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul.
