1. WORLD PEACE PRAYER
Lead me from Death to Life from Falsehood to Truth Lead
Me from Despair To Hope, from Fear to Trust Lead Me form Hate To Love,
from War to Peace Let Peace fill our Heart, Our World, Our Universe.
2. THINGS CHANGE
Friendships face, Money is spent. Glory is forgotten.
Power is lost.
Pain is eased. Rules are broken. Promises forgotten.
Trust betrayed.
Seasons change, So do people. Day turns into dark.
Sorrow to joy.
Life ends. Love cools. Hate dies. Stars fall.
But God is our God Forever.
3. IT’S GOOD TO GIVE ONESELF TO GOD
How good it is to give oneself to God. The Lord rewards
us even in this life and fills with happiness the person who gives
themselves entirely to God. The more completely you give yourself to God,
The more God will do for you; and the less you are, the greater will you
be before God.
(Meditations for Sundays and Feast Days
by St. John Baptist De La Salle)

4. HAPPINESS
If you do not have the capacity for happiness with a
little money, great wealth will not bring it to you.
5. A FAMILY PRAYER
Our Father, we thank you for your love and for you many
blessings, especially for the precious gift of each other. Help us to show
our gratitude by loving each other as you love us. Make us understanding
and patient with one another, quick to admit our failings and ask
forgiveness, generous in sharing the joy and strength we can give each
other.
Father, give our family lively faith and the courage to
share it with those around us. Direct us to the state in life you plan for
each of us, and help us to use your gifts to serve you. We entrust our
family to your parental care. Preserve us from the corruption of the
modern world and help us draw closer daily to you and to each other, until
we come to share with you the joys of heaven.
