Firmes en la fe, firmes en la fe!
We go forward in Christ, he's our companion and he is Lord!
Glory be to him! Glory be to him!
We go forward in Christ, made stronger in our faith.
Your love, it builds us up and keeps us rooted,
Your cross, it gives us constant strength and courage,
Your flesh, it ever saves us and sustains us,
Your blood, it flows to cheer us and renew us.
Firmes en la fe…
Your hands, they hold us when we have been wounded,
Your eyes, they purify the way we see things,
Your lips, they speak to us words of forgiveness,
Your feet, they guide our steps to find life's fullness.
Firmes en la fe...
Your breath, it is the breeze that blows from heaven,
Your smile, it is the sign of grace and blessing,
Your precious wounds, they are love's burning embers,
Your sorrows are the price of our souls' ransom.
Firmes en la fe...
Your face is like an icon of life's fullness,
Your countenance is light from death returning,
Your death, it is the reason for my living,
The baptism of my flesh in your salvation.
Firmes en la fe...

Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10

All About Thee Mary

"HEAR, O most sweet Virgin Mary, hear things new and wonderful!"~St. Boneventure

"My tongue faileth, Lady, for my mind is insufficient. Lady, all that is within me burns that I may render thee thanks for thy so great benefits." ~St. Jerome

"I fear and tremble, all the while that I long to fulfill your expectations, lest I should prove to be an unworthy panegyrist." St. Jerome

"For there is in me neither sanctity nor eloquence, worthily to praise the Blessed and glorious Virgin." St. Jerome

"Dear Mary, my holy mother...Help me to love my neighbor as a child of God. Help me to love myself as a child of God. Amen"

Dear Mary, my holy mother, I love you so much and I give you my heart. Help me to love God. ~Consecration to Mary

She is the one who is full of grace and the sum of all perfections;and she is also our Mother. ~(Friends of God) J. Escriva

Purest of lilies, That flowers among thorns, Bring help to the true heart That in weakness turns and trusts in thee.~ Flos Carmeli

Tota pulchra es, Maria. ~ You are all beautiful, Mary.

"O Virgin Mary, most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and earth, I consecrate myself today to your Immaculate Heart."

"My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God." ~ Second Apparition June 13, 1917

O Morning Star, splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness: Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

"Never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection, implored Thy help or sought Thy intercession, was left unaided." ~Memorare

Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue

Lovely Lady dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!

Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?

Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?

Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things
Little things that happen? And
Do the Angels' wings

Make a noise? And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell me for you know.

Lovely Lady dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
And you know the way.

Saints of Carmel

O Jesus, Savior of the world,

We come and for redemption plead,
Mother of God, his saving grace
Win for your children in their need.

All choirs of angels we invoke;
We beg the prophets of God’s call
And patriarchs who led us flock
To gain God’s pardon for us all.

O saints of Carmel, throned above
In Mary’s court, obtain this grace --
That where you are in glory now
We, too, may find a resting-place.

May martyrs, brave in word and deed,
Confessors, holy pastors pray,
And choirs of virgins intercede
That God may wash our sins away.

O blessed saints of solitude,
And all the heavenly company,
Obtain for us that life in God
Which lasts for all eternity.

Praise to the Father evermore
And to the Spirit he bestows,
To Jesus whom that Virgin bore
From whom all Carmel’s beauty flows.

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, hear us

[R] Have mercy on us.

God, the Father in Heaven,
God the Son, redeemer of the world,
God the Holy Spirit,
Holy Trinity, one God,

[R] Help us to love.

Therese, bright Star of Carmel,
Therese, star of the ends of the earth,
Therese, star of races and nations,
Therese, star of the pontificate of Pope Pius XI ,
Little Queen of the great King,
Dear Child of the Virgin Mary,
Child cured by the smile of Mary,
Doctor of the way of spiritual Childhood,
Lover of the Child Jesus,
Lover of the Face of Christ
Lover of the Cross of Christ,
Lover of the Word of God,
Herald of the Tenderness of God,
Mirror of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Rose plucked for the Child Jesus,
Love in the Heart of the Church,
Word of God for our time,
Model of purity of heart,
Living monstrance consumed by love,
Silent sacrifice before the Eucharist,
Treasure of joy in suffering,
Martyr of the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Valiant warrior in the field of the apostolate,
Therese, showering down roses,
Therese, distributing graces,
Therese, offered to Merciful love,
Therese, seated at the table of sinners,
Angel of prisonners and the sicks,
Little sister of the poor in spirit,
Protrectress of exiles,
Tender treasure of orphans,
Consolation of missionnaries,
Ardent model of consecrated souls,
Hidden little sister of all,
Apostle of mercy,
Apostle of confidence and abandonment,
Apostle of simplicity of heart,
Patroness of the missions,
Doctor of the Church,
Prophet of the last times,

Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Pray for us Saint Therese, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray _ God our Father, You have primised your Kingdom to those who are willing to become like little children. Help us to follow the way of saint Therese with confidence, so that by her prayers, we may come to know your eternal glory. Grant this through our Lord Jesus-Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy spirit, one God for ever and ever.
Amen
