FATHER I ADORE YOU Prayer Lord Jesus, you are my life, my love, my strength, and my joy. I kneel before you in homage. I worship and adore you. I surrender all to you that I may become like you.  HERE I AM LORD   PRAYER FOR SERENITY God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time: Enjoying one moment at a time.   Accepting hardship as the pathway of peace. Taking as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life,   and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.                                                                                                             Reinhold Niebuhr                                                                                                   

NEW COMMANDMENT I give you new commandment; love one another as I have loved you, says the Lord. A Prayer for Self-Acceptance O Lord, you know me through and through, and your love for me knows no bounds I thank you for creating me the person I am, and I ask that I may be given the strength always to love you and others as you love me. Lord, I thank you for my sexuality; I ask you to make it a source of many blessings, for the ones I love and for me, I ask you to uphold me in your love, that I may always use my sexuality as you would have me use it, for commitment and in love. Help me, O Lord, to be patient and kind with others and with myself; and help me to give myself fully to you in all the relationships in my life. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen.                                                                                                                Gaudium et Spes Institute MAN OF SORROW MY GOD I LOVE Y OU COME TO ME MY BELOVED 

THE GOOD SHEPHERD JOHN GOSPEL CHAPTER 10 How shall a youth remain pure on his way ? By observing your word. I have sought you with all my heart; Let me not stray from your commands. I treasure your word in my heart, least I sin against you. Blest are you, O Lord; teach me your   statutes. With my lips have I recounted all the decrees of your mouth. I rejoice in the way of your precepts, as though all riches were mine. I will ponder your precepts, and consider your paths. I take delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.                                                                                                                                         Psalm 119 I give my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one can take them out of my hand.

Lord Jesus I stretch out my little hand to touch you. When I touch flowers created by God. I feel so much joy in my heart. I give reverence to God. I thank you Jesus for I know in my heart you are nearby. As I delight in its beauty with a smile on my lips, I know you are smiling with me, that you share in my joy.                                                 Thank you, Jesus, for sharing this wonderful moment with me.
