Jesus My Lord, My God, My All

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All,
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought?

Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore;
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing.

These Alone Are Enough
Verse 1
Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams.
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 2
Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 3
I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.
I return to You Your gifts untold.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
Verse 4
When the darkness falls on my final days,
take the very breath that sang Your praise.
Give me nothing more than Your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Salve Regina
Lyrics
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae;
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.
Prayer for Priests
World Day of Prayer for the Sanctity of Priestly Life
Lord Jesus Christ, eternal High Priest,
you offered yourself to the Father on the altar of the Cross,
and through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
gave your priestly people a share in your redeeming sacrifice.Hear our prayer for the sanctification of our priests.
Grant that all who are ordained to the ministerial priesthood
may be ever more conformed to you, the divine Master.
May they preach the Gospel with a pure heart and clear conscience.
Let them be shepherds according to your own Heart,
single-minded in service to you and to the Church
and shining examples of a holy, simple and joyful life.Through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
your Mother and ours,
draw all priests and the flocks entrusted to their care
to the fullness of eternal life
where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen
