Holy Innocents, you died before you were old enough to know what life means. We pray for all the children who die young that God may gather them into His loving arms.
Lord God, we also pray for children who are mentally challenged and handicapped either from birth or illnesses.
They may never know what life means; they are your living holy innocents.
Keep them under your protection.
Amen.
Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Neibuhr
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Prayer of St. Francis of Assissi
LORD,
make me an instrument of Thy 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.
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.
