Gloria in Excelsis Deo


Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Our Lady of Maryknoll

"Inspire us, O Lady of Maryknoll, with that concern for people that fills your own Immaculate Heart. Teach us to see the image of God in all people; to cherish the most neglegted and despised among them, to labor for them as their servants; to die for them if need be, that they may live."

Peace

Litany for PEACE

In faith we pray * Deliver us Lord

From every evil
From acts of terror
From all temptation
From acts of violence
From quarrel and strife
From war and danger
From thoughts of vengeance
From all our sins.

For peace in our world * Lord hear our prayer

For peace in Afghanistan
For peace in Israel
For peace in Palestine
For peace in Africa
For peace in Asia
For peace in Europe
For peace in the Americas
For peace in our hearts.

AMEN

*The Fathers and Brothers of Maryknoll
