This one is one of my favourite ones. I know the original. The translation in English is also impressive. When at times I face some difficult situation, I think of this.

 

This is my prayer to thee, my lord -

strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.

 

Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.

 

Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

 

Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.

 

Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.

 

And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

 

----

Hope my friends like this. :hypocritesmiley:

God's Cake

 

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God

have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!

 

 

A daughter is

telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing

algebra,

her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

 

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she

would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your

cake."

 

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her

daughter.

 

"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"

 

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are

all yucky!"

 

To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by

themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make

a

wonderfully delicious cake!

 

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go

through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts

these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have

to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

 

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise

every morning.

 

Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the

universe, and He chose your heart.

Dear God,

 

Thank you for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me and my family. Thank you for bleesing us with a wonderful daughter who takes away my stress when I arrive home from work. Be with us always, guide us in all our endeavors. Keep us from any form of harm and evil.

 

Amen.

 

 

 

P.S. Take good care of my friend Kristin. Keep her healthy and away from sickness... because when she happens to get sick, it will give me a valid reason to visit her. :rolleyes:

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection:

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

 

-- By Rabindranath Tagore

Lord,

 

make me not lose my patience... and get back to my dark ways...

 

some people don't realize who i really am... what i've done... and what i'm capable of doing.

 

in other peaceful ways, You make them realize that... You, not me... you very well know my means... and i know you've already forgiven me for doing that... please... i do not want to go back.

 

guide me.

 

 

amen.

I pray that YOU will give me peace that surpasses all understanding

I pray that YOU will hide me under the shadow of your wings so I won't feel the pain anymore

I pray that YOU give me joy that comes from YOU so I will not feel lonely and alone

 

I pray that you will continue to guide me every step until I reach HOME......

 

 

It's your stubborn love that never lets go of me

I can't undrstand, how can you give perfect love

Embracing the worst in me

How I long for your stubborn love....

Pray to San Lorenzo and make a wish...

 

THE country marks today the martyrdom of Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint who chose to "die a thousand deaths" than renounce his faith 368 years ago.

 

San Lorenzo, whose parish church in Manila bears his name, was the only layman martyred along with 15 missionaries in Japan on Sept. 28, 1637
