SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus'love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

 

FIREMAN'S PRAYER

Almight God, Protector of all
Mankind, Your strength, power,
and wisdom are a beacon of light to all men:

Give special guidance to
Firemen and Firefighters so that
we may be protected from harm
while performing our duty.
Help me with Your loving care
whie I work to save the lives
and property of all people young and old.

Give me the courage,
the alertness to protect my
neightbors and all others whom I
am pledged to aid when involved
in fire or accident.   Amen

                 

 

GOOD MORNING DEAR GOD

You are ushering in another day
untouched and freshly new,
so here I come to ask you God
if you'll renew me too?

Forgive the many errors,
that I made yesterday,
and let me try again dear God,
to walk closer in Thy way.

But Father, I am well aware
I can't make it on my own.
So take my hand and hold it tight
for I don't want to  walk alone.

 

 

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA

Most Holy Virgin, who deigned to come to Fatima, to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, in order that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners,  and (here name the other favors you are praying for), which we ask of you in this Novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of souls.  Amen.

Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, pray for us.

 

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF LOURDES

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings; deign to cast upon me a look of mercy.

By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes to Saint Bernadette, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors, and many have already obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.  I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession.

Obtain for me, O loving Mother, the granting of my request ( here mention your request).  Through gratitude for your favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share your glory.

Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon earth.  You have the same influence now in heaven.

Pray for me; obtain for me from your Divine Son my special request if it be Divine Will.  Amen.
