 O Sweet Jesus, lay Your wounded hand
upon my head and bless me.
Stretch forth that same dear hand and
bless each one at home.
Give me Your staff, help me to go around
in your fold just for today doing your
work in your way.
Push me back when I would go wrong
and make me go forward when I’m
afraid to do right. Be with me with my
dealings with each soul with whom I
come in contact and grant that each
may know to love and serve You better
for having passed me by.
 Lord, what do you send me today?
Humiliation, contradiction, physical
sufferings, bad news which I do not
expect, an aching heart, a failure?
Shall I see myself misjudged, wrongly
suspected? All that You wish, O, my
God, I accept it all in advance.
 And if I weep through weakness, O
regard it not. If I murmur, check me. If
I’m discouraged, raise me up. But
through it all teach me to say; THY
WILL BE DONE. AMEN.
O, Sweet Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys
and sufferings of this day, in union with the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the
world. I offer them for all the Bishops and all
the Apostles of Prayer, and in particular the
intentions of the Holy Father.
(Mention your requests)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

 I confess to almighty God and to you, my
brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in
my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault; (strike breast)
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
AMEN.

Είναι γι αυτούς που έχει καλέσει
είσαι κι εσύ μέσα σ’ αυτούς.
 
Άσε μακριά κάθε σου σκέψη

Άσπρη στολή φόρεσε μόνο,
άλλο απ’ αυτό δεν σου ζητά.
