Bless, oh Lord, the things we utilize
Make them Yours like when Your priests baptize
They are objects which we must sanctify
For You we can use them to glorify
We honor them, but not worship
Still Yours alone is the lordship
As a king, they are symbols of Your reign!

*42nd Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Hear the church bells, hear it ring
For the joyful bride is coming
Let the groom open his arms
Like a shield protecting his host from harms
For this day they’re destined to be one
One in heaven like the moon and sun
Best wishes to our couple forevermore!

*41st Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Call me, my Lord, and I will be there
Choose me and I will answer
You are my Lord I cannot reject
Your holy voice I must respect
Let me come to the Holy See
Be ordained and serve Thee
If I am Your priest, even death cannot do us apart!

*40th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh Father God, author of our life and death
Be with us in sickness and in health
Do not abandon us even if we dare to forsake Thee
Show to us Your inexhaustible mercy
For we are limited, our time passes away
We are bound by Your laws, we have penalties to pay
Help us be clean in spirit before it leaves our body!

*39th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh Father God, look how frail we are to deserve Your wrath
Our sins are overwhelming like we are soaked in blood bath
Have mercy because sometimes we don’t know what we do
Have mercy because we call upon You
Your punishment is the most painful, everlasting
Hell is full, its screams are deafening
Cover us with Your Holy Spirit like an impenetrable shield!

*38th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh Father God, we are sometimes weaker than the devil
We are sometimes tempted by what we feel
It seems that the world is strong enough to pull me
Pull me away, push me away from Thee
Oh Jesus, be my strength
For my sins have reached their fullest length
My Savior is my hope for everlasting joy!

*37th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

We humble ourselves when we confess
We submit ourselves to God’s forgiveness
We decrease punishment our sins have given
We increase our chance in going to heaven
We restore our friendship with our Creator
We strengthen our faith in our Savior
We must willingly confess our sins!
