"Be not afraid, I am with you always"

"All the way to Heaven is Heaven for those who love."
                                  - St. Teresa the Little Flower

Man of La Mancha
To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...

Ending Prayer of St. Paul Gospel Road
Lord of our heart; give us vision to inspire us.
Lord of our heart; give us wisdom to direct us.
Lord of our heart; give us courage to strengthen us.
Lord of our heart; give us trust to console us.
Lord of our heart; give us love to mission us.
Lord of our heart; give us grace to root our lives in you.
Amen.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
