Bless your spouse

My dearly beloved, become aware of my love this day that will follow you wherever you are and whatever you do. I long for your return and I pray for your success. When all is done for the day and when you return we shall celebrate the day praising and thanking the Lord. Let your yoke be light today. May your mind be alert and quick so that you will be the pride of your boss. May your decisions be right and just, that God’s kingdom will be alive and active through you. Return safe Oh, my love and I will long for your company. Remember God’s grace and my love will follow you no matter where you are. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I bless you. Amen.

When in need of a friend

Stay with me Lord, that I don’t forget You
Or else I may abandon you
Stay with me Lord, Because I am weak
Stay with me Lord for You are my life.

Stay with me Lord and show me your will
Stay with me Lord I may eat of your bread
Stay with me Lord I may drink from Your Cup
And fill my heart with Thy Love
And fill my soul with Thy peace
And hold me close to Thy heart

Stay with me Lord For my soul needs your love
I need your consolation for night
Stay with me Lord for This night is dark
I fear the dryness, sorrows and cross.

Stay with me Lord for it is you alone
I look for day and night in my life
Your love, your Grace, your Will and Your Heart
Those are things that I long in my life.

Prayer after communion

Soul of Christ Sanctify me,
Body of Christ Save me
Blood of Christ inebriate me
Water from side of Christ wash me

Passion of Christ Strengthen me
O good Jesus hear my cry
Hide me O lord in the wound of thy heart
Let me not be separated from your love

Defend me Lord against enemies
Be my side when I am near death
Take me to thee, with all thy saints
That I may love and praise thy name.
