Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are
exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and

your hand are power and might, and in your
hand it is to make great and to give strength to
all. 13 And now we thank you, our God, and
praise your glorious name.

Famous prayers

Lord, make me an instrument of your

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,
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so

much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to
understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ

behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ
above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ
where I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of
me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks
to me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Christ.
May your salvation, Lord, be ever with
us.
St. Patrick
