Profession of faith..... (Jesus Christ, Kingdom, salvation, grace, bless)

[johnnys4life]

I LOVE the prayer of St. Francis, thank you for posting that! Especially the part about seeking to love instead of be loved. I have a HUGE problem NOT doing that.

Have you heard the song?

I LOVE having the chance to say this again.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior!!!!!!

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace,

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.



O Divine Master, grant that

I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we

are pardoned, and it is in dying

that we are born to eternal life.

A Prayer to obtain Final Perseverance
Eternal Father, I humbly adore Thee, and thank Thee for having created me, and for having redeemed me through Jesus Christ. I thank Thee most sincerely for having made me a Christian, by giving me the true faith, and by adopting me as Thy son, in the sacrament of baptism. I thank Thee for having, after the numberless sins I had committed, waited for my repentance, and for having pardoned (as I humbly hope) all the offences which I have offered to Thee, and for which I am now sincerely sorry, because they have been displeasing to Thee, who art infinite goodness. I thank Thee for having preserved me from so many relapses, of which I would have been guilty if Thou hadst not protected me. But my enemies still continue, and will continue till death, to combat against me, and to endeavor to make me their slave. If Thou dost not constantly guard and succor me with thy aid, I, a miserable creature, shall return to sin, and shall certainly lose Thy grace. I beseech Thee, then, for the love of Jesus Christ, to grant me holy perseverance unto death. Jesus, Thy Son, has promised that Thou wilt grant whatsoever we ask in his name. Through the merits, then, of Jesus Christ, I beg, for myself and for all the just, the grace never again to be separated from Thy love, but to love Thee forever, in time and eternity. Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because you revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5) August 3, 2005 www.hcfm.org

God our creator, there are so many people in our world who are persecuted for their belief in you. We hear in scripture that those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness that the kingdom will be theirs. We pray for all those whose lives are threatened by violence because of their witness to your presence in our world. May they feel your presence in their life and may they be strengthened in your love and mercy to continue to bear witness to your name. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Christ is YOUR Lord and Savior
