---

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

…Forgive them anyway.



If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

…Be kind anyway.



If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

…Succeed anyway.



If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

…Be honest and frank anyway.



What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

…Build anyway.



If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

…Be happy anyway.



The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

…Do good anyway.



Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

…Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.



You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.



— Mother Teresa (via From the Anchor Hold)

Dear Jesus, You who have seen the suffering of All humankind, and who suffered the indignities and pain of a cruel crucifixion, have mercy on me. Help me, for the greater glory of Your Father in Heaven, to recover from my distress. Give my doctors the wisdom to use the resources within their power to heal me, and comfort my family in their empathy for me.

Restore me to health, dear Lord, so that I may honor You in all I say and do. I ask this in Your name, my Lord and savior, and Your humble servant, St. Anthony of Padua, The Miracle Worker. AMEN.

you must experience prayer.

It is not impossible.

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life;



Rather look to them with full hope that as they arise,

God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely

through all things;



And when you cannot stand it, God will carry you

in His arms.



Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;



The same everlasting Father who cares for you today

will take care of you today and every day.



He will either shield you from suffering or will give you

unfailing strength to bear it.



Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and

imaginations.





St. Francis de Sales

I take for my sureties:

The power of God to guide me,
The might of God to uphold me,
The wisdom of God to teach me,
The eye of God to watch over me,
The ear of God to hear me,
The word of God to give me speech,
The hand of God to protect me,
The way of God to go before me,
The shield of God to shelter me....

Christ be with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

-St. Patrick



Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering you own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

Through the intercession of St. Patrick, may God Almighty strengthen one's faith, and grant the grace of faith for others.
Lorica of St. Patrick
Christ as a light, Illumine and guide me!
Christ as a shield, o'ershadow and cover me!
Christ be under me! Christ be over me!
Christ be beside me, On the left hand and right!
Christ be before me, behind me, about me;
Christ this day be within and without me!

Thanks Jilly..If you have a special prayer please add it here..xoxo,Patti



Humankind has not woven the web of life

we are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web

we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together

all things connect.

The Prayer of St. Patrick





I arise today

Through God's strength to pilot me;

God's might to uphold me,

God's wisdom to guide me,

God's eye to look before me,

God's ear to hear me,

God's word to speak for me,

God's hand to guard me,

God's way to lie before me,

God's shield to protect me,

God's hosts to save me

Afar and anear,

Alone or in a mulitude.



Christ shield me today

Against wounding

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 when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,

Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in the eye that sees me,

Christ in the ear that hears me.



I arise today

Through the mighty strength

Of the Lord of creation.
