Deus, cui proprium est misereri semper et parcere : suscipe deprecatiónem nostram ; ut nos, et omnes famulos tuos, quos delictórum catena constringit, miserátio tuæ pietátis clementer absolvat.
Exáudi, quæsumus, Dómine, supplícium preces, et confiténtium tibi parce peccátis : ut páriter nobis indulgéntiam tríbuas benignus et pacem.
Ineffábilem nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam clementer ostende : ut simul nos et a peccátis ómnibus exuas, et a pœnis, quas pro his meremur, erípias.
Deus, qui culpa offenderis, pœniténtia placaris : preces pópuli tui supplicántis propitius réspice ; et flagélla tuæ iracúndiæ, quæ pro peccátis nostris meremur, averte.
Omnípotens sempiterne Deus, miserére famulo tuo Pontifici nostro N., et dírige eum secúndum tuam cleméntiam in viam salútis ætérnæ : ut, te donante, tibi placita cupiat, et tota virtúte perfíciat.
Deus, a quo sancta desideria, recta consília et justa sunt ópera : da servis tuis illam, quam mundus dare non potest, pacem ; ut et corda nostra mandátis tuis dedita, et, hostium subláta formidine, tempora sint, tua protectióne, tranquilla.
Ure igne Sancti Spíritus renes nostros et cor nostrum, Dómine : ut tibi casto corpore serviamus, et mundo corde placeamus.
Fidelium, Deus, ómnium conditor et redemptor, animabus famulórum famularumque tuárum remissiónem cunctórum tríbue peccatórum : ut indulgéntiam, quam semper optavérunt, piis supplicatiónibus consequántur.
Actiónes nostras, quæsumus, Dómine, aspirando præveni et adjuvando proséquere : ut cuncta nostra orátio et operátio a te semper incipiat et per te cœpta finiátur.
Omnípotens sempiterne Deus, qui vivórum dominaris simul et mortuórum, ómniumque misereris quos tuos fide et opere futuros esse prænoscis : te supplices exorámus ; ut, pro quibus effúndere preces decrevimus, quosque vel præsens sæculum adhuc in carne retinet vel futurum jam exutos corpore suscépit, intercedéntibus ómnibus Sanctis tuis, pietátis tuæ cleméntia, ómnium delictórum suórum veniam consequántur.

Scripture reading:
One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So they set out, and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger.
And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?"
Luke 8:22-25
My Jesus, I trust in Thee
My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even as the darkness gathers.
My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even as the storm clouds deepen.
My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even when the lightning threatens.
My Jesus, help me trust in thee,
even though my heart quakes.
My Jesus, help me trust in thee
even though you may seem far way.
My Jesus, help me trust in thee,
even though evil seems near.
My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even when sorrow breaks my heart.
My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even in the darkness of my grief.
My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even when I don't understand why.
If you could please keep my family and children in your prayers. We are on the NW side of Houston. Tried to get out early this morning but turned right back around--traffic was at a standstill.
We are not in a mandatory evac. area, but it's still scary to see that storm headed this way.
Pray that my I am strong for my children. My husband says everything is going to be okay, but I guess I'm the worry-wart of the family.
Agreed in prayer, amen.
He holds the whole world, in His hands....
My prayers are with all those who are in the path of this terrible storm.
prayer bump
My prayers are with them. May God help them and protect them.
Aggie Mama, you will be in my prayers. My brother lives off of 249 and Louetta...as does one of my nieces and her hubby. Not sure where they are...I've been avoiding calling since I talked to him a couple of days ago, cause all he has are cell phones, and I didn't want to add extra traffic.
God bless, and may he send his angels to keep you and yours safe.
Thank you so very much for the passage and meditation!
Ora Pro Nobis
I fly unto your patronage, my mother,
Ora pro nobis.
You who never leave anyone unaided,
but lay all our sighs, mourning and tears
at the feet of your Son,
Ora pro nobis.
You who try to keep us under your mantle
like your little children
wrapped safe against the wind and the rain,
Ora pro nobis.
Thank you for caring when we wander far away
and you come searching to call us home,
Ora pro nobis.
Thank you for teaching us
to cherish your Son
and show us his ways,
Ora pro nobis.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate.
Be especially with those in harm's way of this storm,
and pray to your son
for their safety and protection.
May he send angels
to guard each and every one
who will be waiting out the storm.
Scripture Reading:
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
hearken to my cry of supplication.
In the day of my trouble I call on thee,
for thou dost answer me.

Father,
I trust in Thee!

Remember this day
All those caught up by the storm,
those who are fleeing their homes,
those who must stay behind,
those who are worried for their dear ones,
those who will lose much,
and those who will lose heart.
May each and every soul affected
find shelter under your wings,
agains the wind and the rain and the flood,
protected by your mighty hand,
guarded by your angels,
and in the end,
learn who is their light and salvation.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
I have some friends in a possible path of the storm. Praying for all in the path.
Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy
O Blessed Mother,
Mother of mercy,
We turn to you
Our mother,
our hope
when times overwhelm us,
and you are there
to share our grief,
comfort us in our mourning
and guide us to the safety of your Son.
O Blessed Mother
remember today those
who stare out at an uncertain future,
those who have lost their homes,
their loved ones,
their friends,
their work.
Pray for those who work
to help in the wake of disaster,
who fight the fires,
shelter the homeless,
rescue the shaken and injured,
care for the dying
and stand watch against the darkness.
Pray for us who look on and see.
May we not look on with unseeing eye,
but with the eye that causes us
to do your Son's will,
to act mercifully,
to care,
to pray,
to do.
O Queen of Heaven,
You truly understand our suffering,
You always and ever care for each of us, your children.
Teach us to be the hands and feet
that you may work through,
that you may pour your Son's graces through,
to bring salt and light
to this sorrowful world.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
I know that you do not despise our petitions,
but in your mercy,
You hear and answer us.
Thank you.
Amen.

Pray for us, most Sorrowful Virgin,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
O God, in whose Passion, according to the prophecy of Simeon, a sword of grief pierced through the most sweet soul of Thy glorious Blessed Virgin Mother Mary: grant that we, who celebrate the memory of her Seven Sorrows, may obtain the happy effect of Thy Passion, Who lives and reigns world without end. Amen.
Amen.
Thank you, KAC.
It is scary when we have loved ones in the way of this type of danger...and then the waiting's so hard.
