Litany in Honor of the Holy Cross. L\ The word of the Cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Cor. 1:18) R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) L\ Jesus has many who love His Kingdom in heaven, but few who bear His Cross. He has many who desire comfort, but few who desire suffering. He finds many to share His feast, but few His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, but few are willing to suffer for His sake.* R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) L\ Why do you fear to take up the Cross, which is the road to the Kingdom? In the Cross is salvation and life, protection against our enemies, infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is strength of mind, joy of spirit, excellence of virtue, perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.* R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) L\ Take up the Cross, therefore, and follow Jesus, and go forward into eternal life. Christ has gone before you, bearing His Cross; He died for you on the Cross, that you also may bear your cross, and desire to die on the Cross with Him. For if you die with Him, you will also live with Him. And if you share his sufferings, you will also share His glory.* R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) L\ See how in the Cross all things consist, and in dying on it all things depend. There is no other way to life and to true inner peace, than the way of the Cross. Go where you will, seek what you will; you will find no higher way above nor safer way below than the road of the Holy Cross.* R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) L\ The Cross always stands ready, and everywhere awaits you. You cannot escape it, wherever you flee; for wherever you go, you bear yourself, and always find yourself. Look up or down, without you or within, and everywhere you will find the Cross. And everywhere you must have patience, if you wish to attain inner peace, and win an eternal crown.* R\ God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14) All: Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us to follow you not only to the Breaking of Bread but also to the drinking of the Cup of Your Passion. Help us to love You for Your own sake and not for the sake of comfort for ourselves. Make us worthy to suffer for Your name, Jesus, our Crucified and Risen Lord and Savior, now and forever. Amen. *from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas À Kempis, 1380-1471

Heal in us whatever may hinder God's loving and purifying touch. Prayer to St. Jude Thaddeus Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude Thaddeus, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of his enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors you, and I invoke you as the special advocate of those who are in trouble and almost without hope. Help me to realize that through our faith we triumph over life's difficulties by the power of Jesus who loved us and gave his life for us. Come to my assistance that I may receive the consolation and succor of heaven in all my needs, trials, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promised thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted to me by God and I will never stop to honor thee as my special and powerful patron and gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen. St. Jude, apostle of the Word of God, pray for us. St. Jude, follower of the Son of God, pray for us. St. Jude, preacher of the love of God, pray for us.

Prayer to St. Raphael. St. Raphael, loving patron of those seeking a marriage partner, help me in this supreme decision of my life. Find for me as a helpmate in life the person whose character may reflect some of the traits of Jesus and Mary. May he/she be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with chaste and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please God to entrust to our care. St. Raphael, angel of chaste courtship, bless our friendship and our love that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely that our future home may ever be most like the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth.

Blessed Virgin Mary, I pray to you for peace and happiness. I have tried so hard to be successful but cannot deal with the hardships thrust upon me at work any longer. Discrimination is a horrible word, but it occurs. People would say it is me, just me, but a person knows when someone's personal dislike of you carries over. Others at work have started to notice it, have asked why I allow myself to be treated this way. What can I do? She is my boss and there is nothing to stop her. I need my job and they know it and use it. I'd quit if I could, but I have obligations and only the power of prayer can help me. Oh blessed Mother, here my anguish and help me. You have always been there for me and now I need you more then ever. This time I'm praying for me. You know how I feel, how happiness seems so far way. Please help me to be able to afford to keep the farm, to just be a housewife for once in my life, to be able to help others because I have the time and money to do so. It has been so long since I laughed, since I felt secure and happy. Please some to me soon, let me know you are there and understand. Blessed Virgin Mary, never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I flee unto thee oh Mother of Mothers incarnate, despise not my petition but answer me in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Dear God, I pray if it is Your Will that my dreams are realized.

Maybe I missed it but does anyone know the significance of placing the sugar on the plate of three candles when praying to the three saints? Curious
