Litany of the Love of God

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, hear us. Christ graciously hear us.
God, the Father of heaven,
Have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the world,
Have mercy on us.
God, the Holy Ghost,
Have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, one God,
Have mercy on us.
Thou Who art Infinite Love,
Have mercy on us.
Thou Who didst first love me,
Have mercy on us.
Thou Who commandest me to love Thee,
Have mercy on us.

With all my heart,
I Love Thee, O My God
With all my soul,
I Love Thee, O My God
With all my mind,
I Love Thee, O My God
With all my strength,
I Love Thee, O My God
Above all possessions and honors,
I Love Thee, O My God
Above all pleasures and enjoyments,
I Love Thee, O My God
More than myself, and everything belonging to me,
I Love Thee, O My God
More than all my relatives and friends,
I Love Thee, O My God
More than all men and angels,
I Love Thee, O My God
Above all created things in heaven or on earth,
I Love Thee, O My God
Only for Thyself,
I Love Thee, O My God
Because Thou art the sovereign Good,
I Love Thee, O My God
Because Thou art infinitely worthy of being loved,
I Love Thee, O My God
Because Thou art infinitely perfect,
I Love Thee, O My God
Even hadst Thou not promised me heaven,
I Love Thee, O My God
Even hadst Thou not menaced me with hell,
I Love Thee, O My God
Even shouldst Thou try me by want and misfortune,
I Love Thee, O My God
In wealth and in poverty,
I Love Thee, O My God
In prosperity and in adversity,
I Love Thee, O My God
In health and in sickness,
I Love Thee, O My God
In life and in death,
I Love Thee, O My God
In time and in eternity,
I Love Thee, O My God
In union with that love wherewith all the saints and all the angels love Thee in heaven,
I Love Thee, O My God
In union with that love wherewith the Blessed Virgin Mary loveth Thee,
I Love Thee, O My God
In union with that infinite love wherewith Thou lovest Thyself eternally,
I Love Thee, O My God

My God, Who dost possess in incomprehensible abundance all that is perfect and worthy of love, annihilate in me all guilty, sensual, and undue love for creatures. Kindle in my heart the pure fire of Thy love, so that I may love nothing but Thee or in Thee, until being so entirely consumed by holy love of Thee, I may go to love Thee eternally with the elect in heaven, the country of pure love. Amen.

Panalangin Kay San Agustin

PANALANGIN KAY SAN AGUSTIN

O San Agustin, pinili ka nang Amang Lumikha upang maging Guro ng pag-ibig, ilaw ng mga mangangaral at mag-aaral, Pantas ng Simbahan, haligi ng Santa Iglesia, tagapagtanggol ng pananampalatayang Kristiyano at kalasag laban sa mga kaaway. Hayaan mong matularan ko ang iyong halimbawa ng pagbabalik-loob sa Diyos upang ako rin ay makatamasa ng matuwid na landas tungo sa kaginhawahang walang katapusan upang ang puso ko ay pamahayan ng Banal na Santatlo.

Ipanalangin mo ako, patron kong San Agustin, upang ang aking bisyo at mga maling aral na pinaniniwalaan ay aking maituwid sa tulong at awa ni Hesu-Kristo. Tulad ng iyong nasumpungan sa sulat ni San Pablo sa Bagong Tipan, nawa ay “maiwasan kong malugmok sa lusak ng kamunduhan at kalaswaan; at maisuot ko ang damit ng aking Panginoong Hesu-Kristo.”

Tulungan mo ako, San Agustin, upang manaig sa akin ang karunungan at katalinuhan na biyaya sa akin ng Diyos. Nawa ang mga biyayang ito ay maghatid sa aking buhay nang kabanalan. Papagliwanagan mo ako na umasa sa biyaya ng Espiritu Santo at hindi sa sarili kong kakayahan lamang.

San Agustin, ipanalangin mo ako sa Banal na Santatlong Diyos sa aking kahilingan… (Sandaling tumahimik at isipin ang lahat ng mga kahilingan)

Idinadalangin ko rin ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral, lalung-lalo na ang lahat ng mga kumukuha ng pagsusulit, na sa tulong mo San Agustin mapagpatagumpayan nila ang mga pagsubok na kanilang kinakaharap sa mga katanungang kanilang dapat sagutin. Na ang karunungan at katalinuhan na iyo ring tinaglay ay magsilbi nilang instrumento upang sila ay maliwanagan sa anumang kakaharapin nilang pagsusulit o pagsubok sa buhay.

Nawa’y maisabuhay ko ang halimbawa mo, o aking patrong San Agustin, upang ang aking napapagal na puso ay makasumpong ng kapayapaan at magalak sa pag-ibig ng iisang Diyos. Amen.

San Agustin, haligi ng lakas ng mga mag-aaral, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, ilaw ng mga guro, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, tagapamagitan ng mga kumukuha ng pagsusulit, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, sisidlan ng Banal na Karunungan, ipanalangin mo kami.

San Agustin, taga-aliw ng mga nababagabag, ipanalangin mo kami.

Prayer For Saint Augustine

PRAYER FOR SAINT AUGUSTINE

O Saint Augustine, you have chosen by God the Creator to be the teacher of love, light of preachers and students, Doctor and pillar of the Mother Church, defender of Christian faith and shield against enemies.

Help me, Saint Augustine, so that the wisdom and the intelligence that God has given me will reign. May these blessings will lead my life towards holiness. Enlighten my mind so that I will trust in the blessings of the Holy Spirit and not only to my own competence.

I pray also for all the students, especially those who are taking examinations, that through your intercession Saint Augustine they may overcome the trials that they are facing in the questions that they have to answer. That the wisdom and intelligence that You have will become their instrument so that they will be enlightened in any tests or trials they are going to face in their life.

May I live out your examples, o my patron Saint Augustine, so that my restless heart will find peace and enliven in the love of one God. Amen.

Saint Augustine, students’ pillar of strength, pray for us.

Saint Augustine, light of teachers, pray for us.

Litany of the Cross

The cross is the hope of Christians
the cross is the resurrection of the dead
the cross is the way of the lost
the cross is the savior of the lost
the cross is the staff of the lame
the cross is the guide of the blind
the cross is the strength of the weak
the cross is the doctor of the sick
the cross is the aim of the priests
the cross is the hope of the hopeless
the cross is the freedom of the slaves
the cross is the power of the kings
the cross is the water of the seeds
the cross is the consolation of the bondsmen
the cross is the source of those who seek water
the cross is the cloth of the naked.
We thank you, Father, for the cross.
