O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem, 

how still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

the silent stars go by;

yet in thy dark streets shineth

the everlasting light.

The hopes and fears of all the years

are met in thee tonight.

2 For Christ is born of Mary,

and, gathered all above

while mortals sleep, the angels keep

their watch of wond’ring love.

O morning stars, together

proclaim the holy birth,

and praises sing to God the King

and peace to all the earth.

3 How silently, how silently,

the wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts

the blessings of his heav’n.

No ear may hear his coming,

but in this world of sin,

where meek souls will receive him, still

the dear Christ enters in.

4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,

descend to us, we pray,

cast out our sin and enter in,

be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels

the great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us,

our Lord Immanuel!

Mary’s Boy Child Jesus Christ

Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible said Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas day

[Chorus] Hark, now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live forever more Because of Christmas day

[Verse 2] While shepherds watch their flocks by night They see a bright new shining star They hear a choir sing a song The music seemed to come from afar

[Verse 3] Now Joseph and his wife, Mary Came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear her child Not a single room was in sight

And then they found a little nook In a stable all forlorn And in a manger, cold and dark Mary's little boy was born

[Chorus] Hark, now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live forever more Because of Christmas day

Pray the Holy Rosary with Fr. Paul Yi

Intercessory Prayer for others (Version 1)

Lord, we give you permission to use us in any way You desire today.  And, we ask you for the grace to see You in action, so we can give You all the glory.

Into thy hands, Blessed Mother, I commend the bodies and souls of (... name those you are praying for)

I ask thee to provide for them and to protect them. I ask thee to protect them from the evil one. I ask thee enlighten their mind, strengthen their will, and refrain their appetites by grace.

Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and St. Michael, call down from Heaven the legions of holy angels under your command to protect them; I ask of you all the things I ask of their guardian angels. Guardian angels of all those I am praying for, under thy intellectual and volitional protection I place their bodies.

I ask thee to illumine their mind and refrain their appetites. I ask thee to strengthen their cogitative power, their memory and their imagination. Help them to remember the things they should and not onremember the things they should not. Help them to associate the things they should and not to associate the things they should not. Give them good clear images in their imagination.

I ask thee to drive away all the demons that might affect them while they sleep (and throughout the course of the day). (Help them to sleep and, if thou should deem it prudent, direct their dreams. Help them to arise refreshed).

Amen.  

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise Thou mine inheritance, now and always Thou and Thou only first in my heart High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art High King of heaven, my victory won

May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all

Prayer for Healing of Mind, Body, and Spirit  Dear Lord, I know that there is no sickness that you cannot heal. You know all things, you can do all things, and you love (name of persons you're praying for).

With faith in your promise that whatever we ask in prayer, You will grant us if it will be good for our soul. I come before you to ask for healing of body, mind, emotions, and spirit for them. Touch them now where they are hurting most. Only you know what kind of healing they need the most right now. 

Let the grace of your divine love flow and spread to the different parts of their bodies, reaching the inner recesses of their being. Comfort them in their pain and anguish. Correct any malfunctioning of their body organs. Melt with your healing love any abnormal growths. Arrest all further spreading of all sick cells and replace them with healthy cells. 

Root out all unresolved hurts, resentments, fears, and feelings of despair and frustration. Heal all painful memories and repercussions of traumatic experiences. Grant them the grace to accept this trial and suffering as a share in your own sufferings of their souls and those of their families and loved ones. 

Forgive them for all their sins and fill them with your love, peace, joy, kindness, and generosity. Let them realize the deeper meaning of their sickness and trial, and lead them closer to you as they find comfort in your loving heart. 

Let them find joy amid peace amidst their suffering, and with eyes of faith, see the blessing and victory that await them. And then, Father, after they have been healed, may they be a witness of your healing power and bring glory, honor, and praise to you. 

This we pray in Jesus’ Name through Mary and all the saints. Amen.

Pray to cover ourselves in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ (+ Make the Sign of the Cross)

We cover ourselves with the Blood of Jesus Christ through the sign of His life-giving Cross +. We soak our families, our relations, our house, our church community, our office, our food, our financial resources, our friends and well-wishers with the powerful Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We cover the whole air, the whole land and the whole sea with the Blood of Jesus Christ. Satan, it is written in Revelation 12: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” We use the Blood of Jesus to cover us now.

In + Jesus’ Name, we break every power of darkness that has entangled us. We destroy all the web of Satan against us. We loose ourselves from all the powers of darkness against us.  

In + Jesus’ name, we destroy and nullify all the curses, covenants and the initiation from Satan and his agents against us. We destroy any spell, incantations, curses, covenants, initiations and manipulation from any negative spirits.

In the powerful name of Jesus + Christ, Father, we come against all the demons that Satan has assigned to attack us spiritually or physically. It is written in the book of Isaiah: “No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against me in judgment I shall condemn.”

In the name of Jesus + Christ, we come against all powers of darkness in the dream. We bind and cast out the demons that attack us through dreams.

Signed, sealed and protected by God and hidden in Christ we know that nothing can separate us from God’s love, joy and peace.

Our Father…

+ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

R. Amen.

Listen to the Solemn Prayer to the Holy Trinity through St. Michael the Archangel. 

A prayer that the laity can pray is the following:

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirit of wickedness in the high places.

Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.

The Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into Heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church.

Offer our prayers to the most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us. Take hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, bind him, and cast him into the bottomless pit so that he should no more seduce the nations. Amen
