PRAYERS FOR SAINT JOSEPH
I cannot yet reveal my power to the wider world.
I need to retreat with my children.
I want to work miracles on souls in secret.
- until the number of victims is full.
It is up to you to shorten the days of darkness.
(from apparitions in Marienfried)
May the flame of love of Jesus and Mary burn in our hearts forever and ever. Amen.
God helps the brave.
Teresa of Avila
I am yours, born for you,
What do you want from me, Lord?
Your Majesty,
Eternal Wisdom,
Kindness, a blessing to my soul;
supreme God, one being, goodness,
Look at the great unworthiness,
that love sings to you like this today:
What do you want from me?
I am yours, for you created me,
Yours, for you have redeemed me,
Yours, for you have borne with me,
yours, for you have called me,
Yours, because you waited for me.
yours, for I was not lost:
What do you want from me?
So what do you desire, good God?
What should such an unworthy person do?
What task did you give this sinful servant?
Sieh mich hier, o süße Liebe,
süße Liebe, sieh mich hier:
Was begehrst du von mir?
Sieh, hier ist mein Herz,
ich lege es in deine Hand,
meinen Leib, mein Leben und meine Seele,
mein Gemüt und meine Neigungen;
süßer Bräutigam und Erlöser,
dir habe ich mich hingegeben:
Was begehrst du von mir?
Gib mir Tod, gib mir Leben:
gib mir Gesundheit oder Krankheit,
gib mir Ehre oder Schande,
gib mir Krieg oder tieferen Frieden,
gib mir Schwäche oder volle Kraft,zu allem sage ich ja:
Was begehrst du von mir? […]
Ich bin dein, für dich geboren,
was begehrst du, Herr, von mir?
Amen. (Hl Theresia von Avila)
