Priest Father Lars
Lord, make me an instrument of your 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;
and 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.
prayer for animals, st francis of assisi
God Our Heavenly Father,
You created the world to serve humanity's needs and to lead them to You.
By our own fault we have lost the beautiful
relationship which we once had with all your creation.
Help us to see that by restoring our relationship with You
we will also restore it with all Your creation.
Give us the grace to see all animals as gifts from You and
to treat them with respect for they are Your creation.
We pray for all animals who are suffering as a result of our neglect.
May the order You originally established be once again restored
to the whole world through the intercession of the Glorious Virgin Mary,
the prayers of St. Francis and the merits of Your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with You now and forever.

Children bring joy
i want to be ready, ben harper
How I am strong
is to know what makes me weak
how I am found
is to know just whom I seek
the gift of a blessing
the burden of a sin
turn to him
I want to be ready
ready to put on
my long white robe
Nailed across
from hand to hand
for the sin
of woman and man
all upon his earth
is all within his plan
and I know this shall be
my journey home
I want to be ready
ready to put on
my long white robe
Covet no silver
covet no gold
reach your empty
hands for him to hold
up in his kingdom
glory shall be proclaimed
sing the song
and praise his name.
jah work, ben harper
Tell me do you really know
your brother man
cause a heart speaks louder
than a color can
and why would you even
shake a man's hand
if you're not going
to help him stand
Jah work is never done
Every man's actions
belong to he
if prepared for thereafter
to each his destiny
some people believe
and some people know
some people deceive
and some people show
Jah work is never done
You must do the heaviest
so many shall do none
you have got to stand firm
so many shall run
some they rest their head at night
some get no sleep at all
if you listen close to what you see
you will hear the call
many thanks to
