God's Household

Let us love and help each other!
  Our Father is in heaven,
  And Jesus is our Brother,
  And Mary is our Mother,
  And the blessed Saints above
  And the friends on earth we love,
  Nay, every human creature is the child
  Of our Father dear in heaven.
Let us love and be loved, forgive and be forgiven.

Pray for the Dying

This hour for some poor souls is life's last hour.
Saved, saved — or lost! — when this short hour's gone by.

A Cry from Purgatory

Have pity on me, you at least, my friends!
No, not with death true love, true pity ends.
Your prayers can still assist me on my way.
Take pity on me, O dear friends, and pray.

A Thought from St. Augustine

Our hearts were made for Thee, O Lord!
  And restless must they be
Until — O Lord, this grace accord! —
  Until they rest in Thee.

After Night Prayer

Another day is ended;
  How many more to live?
Alas, too many wasted!
  My God, forgive, forgive
