Name: Weariness by Fr. Killian McGowen, Passionist
Prayer: Are You Weary and Seeking Rest?! Father Kilian McGowan, C.P.
Weariness is like the weather-it affects everyone, and there's no escape from it. It hits us all, at least occasionally, and sometimes it enshrouds us like a wet blanket. It's rarely any fun, but it can have a redemptive value. It doesn't have to be utterly frustrating, for it can be sanctifying.
Weariness played such an important part in the life of our Blessed Lord that we must conclude that God has a special compassion and love for those who are heavily burdened. Perhaps this is why Christ made Himself the personal refreshment of those in need of rest. "Come to Me all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest."
Most of us labor, practically all of us are burdened, but too many of us fail to get refreshment demanded by the human spirit because we fail to go to Christ. Yet, He offered his invitation to all. Our Lord was more than a man acquainted with weariness; He was a God who told us-and showed us-how to use it well.
When Christ spoke of weariness He spoke as One who had been its constant companion through-out His life. Not just three years of exhausting public missionary work of preaching, healing, comforting and admonishing. Not just three hours of agonizing weariness on the cross. But a lifetime of thirty-three years with very few moments free from work or suffering.
How many times He must have been bone-tired by the four-day walk on the hot and dusty highway between Galilee and Judea. The Gospel mentions how weary He was when He rested at the well at Sichar. Imagine how exhausted He was the time He was sleeping in the boat during the storm on the sea of Galilee. You have to be pretty tired to sleep through a storm that frightened tough fishermen like the Apostles!
How wearied He must have been after His agonizing prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was the vision of our sins and the preview of His suffering that caused this exhaustion. And what about that seemingly unending trek along the Way of the Cross...why He must have felt as though the weariness of all humanity was poured into his very bones and muscles.
Any scientist or doctor can tell you that the most fiendish test of a man's ability to withstand weariness is the cruelty called crucifixion. This grueling torture annihilates a man's energies and completely exhausts his body's resources. Yet again the God-man didn't hesitate to pour out His life's blood through His five precious wounds that we might be refreshed with the life of God.
Our greatest cross is not in being tired, or weary, or burdened with the trials of this life. It's in failing to use them well, in being ignorant of the true source of refreshment and peace, in failing to go to Christ when we need Him most. He can only give us rest if we approach Him with faith and confidence. It's the kind of rest and relaxation that the world cannot give!
He invited you to escape the tensions of the modern age when He said: "Come into a quiet place and rest a while." He did much more. He asked you to make Him a part of that refreshment of body and soul that we must all have: "Come to Me...and I will refresh you." Weariness is redemptive when borne for love of God. It will never crush you when shared with Christ. Why not share it with Him...and bear it for Him?
Name: COMMENDATION TO THE SACRED HEART
Prayer: O Lord, I elect Thy Sacred Heart my abiding place. May it be my strength in combat, my support in weakness, my light and guide in darkness; may it supply for my defects and sanctify all my intentions and actions. In union with Thine own I offer them up that I may be prepared to receive Thee.
Strengthen and support me, O most Sacred Heart, that purpose and esire of loving and serving Thee with which Thou didst inspire me, and grant that I perform all the good that according to Thy Will I should.
Be Thou, O God, my strength; do Thou support and defend me, for I am and intend to be forever Thine.

Prayer: MEMORIAL DAY
Eternal God, lift the hearts of those who carry painful memories with them every day. We remember in a special way those who have died serving our country.

Prayer: The Most Holy Trinity
O most Holy Trinity, Almighty God, we adore You, Who give life and vigor to every creature and Who shed light eternal where there is darkness. We offer You our hearts, our souls and our whole being, today and in the days to come, that we may offer perfect praise and love to Your glorious Name. Amen.
Name: ACT OF ATONEMENT TO JESUS IN THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
Prayer: O most loving Jesus, Humbly prostrate before Thee in Thy Sacrament of love, we acknowledge Thee for our Lord and God, and we adore Thee with Thy Angels and Saints. How great is Thy love for us! How great our ingratitude towards Thee! It pains us to see Thee so despised, forgotten and unknown. Before Thee, sinful and sorrowful, we acknowledge our sins and make reparation. For all the insults, irreverences, and outrages ever offered Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, we make reparation. For all the Masses neglected on Sundays and Holydays, for the Easter duty not made, and above all for the sacrilegious Communions ever received, we make reparation. For all our distractions, our coldness and our want of reverence at Holy Mass, at Communion and Benediction, we are sorry and we make reparation.
Give us, O dearest Jesus, the grace to know, to love and to serve Thee better. For the future, let our faith, our reverence and adoration be more worthy of Thee. Bless us, sweet Lord: forgive us every sin and fault; dismiss us with Thy peace in our hearts, and grant us the supreme happiness of one day seeing Thee face to face and possessing Thee together with Thy Holy Mother Mary and all Thy Angels and Saints in heaven. Amen
Name: Prayer to our Sorrowful Mother for a particular grace
Prayer: O most holy and afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs, who stood on Mount Calvary when your Son was in agony: by the sword of sorrow which pierced your heart, by the sufferings of your whole life on earth, by your unspeakable joy in Heaven; look down with maternal pity and tenderness as I kneel before you to sympathise with your sorrows, and to place my petition, with childlike confidence, in your wounded heart.
I beg of you, dear Mother, to plead for me with your divine Son, since he can refuse you nothing, and, through the merits of his most sacred Passion and Death, together with your own suffering at the foot of his Cross, so to move his Sacred Heart that I may obtain this request….
To whom shall I go in my need and misery, if not to you, O Mother most merciful, you who pity us poor exiles still sighing in this valley of tears? Offer to Jesus for us but one drop of his most precious blood, but one pang of his loving heart; remind him that you are our life, our sweetness and our hope, and your prayer on my behalf
Name: Haste Fr. Scupoli
Prayer: When our bodies and minds are engaged in any work, we should perform it peacefully and with composure, not prescribing for ourselves a definite time to finish it, nor being too anxious to see it completed
Name: Interior Peace Fr. R. P. Quadrupani
Prayer: Be on your guard lest your zeal degenerates into anxiety and eagerness. These two defects cause us to lose sight of God in our actions and make us very prone to impatience if the slightest obstacle should interfere with our designs. It is only by acting peacefully that we can serve the God of peace in an acceptable manner.
