If you are accustomed to send money to
the missions you have surely received many religious articles; from holy cards
to rosaries and medals. This time a booklet of prayers slipped out of the mission request
envelope. Here are a couple of prayers
you may never have heard before. They go beyond the prayers we all know so
well:
Litany of the Lost
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
(The response for the following petitions is:
St.
Anthony, pray for us)
For those of us who have lost . . .
our
health
our
peace of mind
our
housing
our
financial security
a
loved one,
our
dreams,
our
talents,
our
initial zeal,
our
sobriety,
our
faith,
our
self-respect,
our
innocence,
our
independence,
peace
with our families,
civil
peace,
our
trust in others,
our
virtue,
our
home,
(add your own
personal loss),
Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Let us pray:
All loving God, you have given us St.
Anthony, the patron of the lost, as an intercessor of those who are in need of
your mercy, Listen to his voice as he calls out to You on our behalf, and grant
those things which will help us grow in Your love. We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen
Prayer before a Crucifix
Most High, Glorious God,
Enlighten the darkness of my heart.
Give me, Lord, a correct faith,
A certain hope, a perfect charity, sense
and knowledge,
so that I may carry out Your holy and
true command.
