PRO LABORE DEI PRAYER

 

God Most High, God of "Pro Labore Dei". God of Wonders,

we praise your power at work in the universe.

Thou who order all things mighty,

Lead us in the Spirit of Jesus your Son

To bring good news to the poor-

The news that God cares, God loves them,

To tell the prisoners that they are no longer imprisoned,

To tell the blind that now their vision is clear-

That they can see because God leads them;

To set the down trodden free, lift up the marginalized,

The oppressed of our nation, our world -

To tell them that they can be free.

Help us to be our brother's keeper, our neighbour's neighbour.

That our joy may be in you and our joy may be full.

Let Pro Labore Dei grow into a giant treeWith leaves that never fade,

bearing fruits that never die, giving shelter to the poor and stranger, 

An avenue of service for all who wish to serve you in the poor.

Magnify your work, O Lord,

till from corner to corner, 

throughout the universe

"PRO LABORE DEI" resounds

To the Glory of God the Father.

We make this prayer through Christ your Son our Lord

who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever AMEN.

PRAYER TO THE INFANT JESUS FOR GRACES TO LIVE IN GOD’S WILL

TO BE SAID BY ALL PRO LABORE DEI MEMBERS.

 

O JESUS divine Saviour who has said, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Through the intercession of Mary, thy most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer will be granted. Grant that we will live in God’s will all the days of our lives that nothing in life or in death will ever separate us from the divine will of God, so that in all things God our father will be maximally glorified.

 

O JESUS, who hast said, All that you ask of the father in my name He will grant you, through the intercession of Mary, Thy most Holy Mother, I earnestly and urgently ask thy father in thy name that we will resolutely accept the will of God, do God’s will, act God’s will, breath God’s will even in the face of death.

 

O JESUS, who hast said, heaven and earth will pass away, but my word shall not pass away, through the intercession of Mary, Thy most Holy Mother, I confidently believe that I am submerged in the FATHER’S WILL and will remain in GOD’S WILL by the help of your holy grace until you come in Glory. You who live and reign with the father and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever Amen.
