Thursday in the Octave of Easter

Lord Jesus, remember Your Holy Church,
built on the apostles and reaching to the ends of the earth,
- and let Your blessing rest on all who believe in You.

You are the Healer of soul and body,
- come to our aid, and save us in Your love.

Raise up the sick and give them strength,
- free them from their infirmities.

Help those in distress of mind or body,
- and in Your compassion lift up those in need.

Through Your Holy Cross and Resurrection
You opened for all the way to immortality,
- grant to our deceased brothers and sisters
the joys of Your Kingdom.
Amen

Lent Prayers

O my good Jesus, my dear Savior, I compassionate Thee in Thy sufferings. I fervently bless Thee and thank Thee for all Thou hast done and suffered for me; give me grace to weep over the sins and the ingratitude which caused Thy dreadful agony. Sweet Jesus, mercy! Pardon me, O Lord, for my past indifference to Thy love.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of Thee.

May those bonds which confined Thy hands burst the fetters of my sins, and restore me to the sweet liberty of Thy children! I cast myself at Thy sacred feet, O my King and my God; and since Thou hast undergone the humiliation of allowing Thyself to be bound by Thy creatures, may I place my happiness in sharing Thy humiliations, and carrying Thy Cross. Amen
