THE PRAYER, SPIRITUAL ARMOR OF PRAYER

Heavenly Father,
we ask You today for Your truth,
as a belt tight around our waists.

We put on the zeal,
to announce Your good news of peace,
as shoes for our feet.

We put on Your righteousness,
O Christ, as our breastplate.
And the hope of salvation,
as a helmet for our head.

Father we take up faith,
as a shield which is able to put out,
all the fiery darts of the enemy.

And the sword of the Spirit,
which is Your Word, O Lord.

Father may the love,
with which You have loved Jesus,
be in us and may Jesus be in us.

We ask You for the grace,
of a servant heart.

Amen.
 
Loving God,

We ask for your mercy and blessings for your people as we try in the ways we know how to bring a “little heaven” on earth through our love for You and for your people. We are imperfect and often misguided, but you love us and want us to find the way to the place you have prepared for us. Your unconditional love and amazing patience give us all hope that we can continue to move the world closer to the plan you have had since the beginning of time. Please inspire us to bring a lasting peace with true justice to the world, and raise up kind, genuine, compassionate, competent, spiritual, and driven leaders to help steward your world and guide us to a new era of enlightment on the journey of faith.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd and protector of your Holy people.

Amen.

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
WE PRAY that YOU save us from ourselves
The world that YOU have made for us, to live in peace,
we have made into an armed camp.
We live in fear of war to come.

We are afraid of “the terror that flies by
night, and the arrow that flies by day,
the pestilence that walks in darkness
and the destruction that wastes at noon-day”
We have turned from YOU to go our selfish way.
We have broken YOUR commandments
and denied YOUR truth. We have left YOUR altars
to serve the false gods of money and pleasure and power.

FORGIVE US AND HELP US

Now, darkness gathers around us and we are confused
in all our counsels. Losing faith in YOU,
we lose faith in ourselves.

Inspire us with wisdom, all of us of every color, race and creed,
to use our wealth, our strength to help our brother,
instead of destroying him.
Help us to do YOUR will as it is done in heaven
and to be worthy of YOUR promise of peace on earth.
Fill us with new faith, new strength and new courage,
that we may win the Battle for Peace.

Be swift to save us, dear God,
before the darkness falls.

From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm 118 (119): 105-112
Whoever lives according to the truth will come to the light. Alleluia.

A lamp to guide my feet is your word,
a light for my journey.
I have firmly sworn to keep your just laws.

Lord, I am greatly afflicted:
revive me as you have promised.
Lord, accept the vows I make,
and teach me your judgements.

I hold my life in my hands,
I remember your laws.
The wicked placed a trap for me,
but I did not wander from your commandments.

Your decrees are my inheritance for ever,
they are the joy of my heart:
my heart is set on carrying them out,
for ever, until the end.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Whoever lives according to the truth will come to the light. Alleluia.
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
