Rosary for Vocations

Sunday 16th July : 4.00pm : Prairie

Gathering Hymn Anonymous

Immaculate Mary! Our hearts are on fire, That title so wondrous fills all our desire.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria!

Ave, ave, ave Maria!

We pray for God’s glory, may His Kingdom come! We pray for His Vicar, Our Father, and Rome.

We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth, And bless, sweetest Lady, the land of our birth.

For poor, sick, afflicted thy mercy we crave; and comfort the dying thou light of the grave.

In grief and temptation, in joy or in pain, we’ll ask thee, our Mother, nor seek thee in vain.

In death’s solemn moment, our Mother, be nigh; as children of Mary O teach us to die.

As we pray the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary we pray for vocations, especially our diocesan seminarians

Hymn

Kent Henry

When I look into Your holiness, when I gaze into Your loveliness (Your loveliness), when all things that surround become shadows, in the light of You (in the light of You).

When I've found the joy of reaching Your heart, (reaching Your heart), when my will becomes enthroned in Your love, (enthroned in Your love), when all things that surround become shadows, in the light of You.

I worship You,

I worship You (I worship You), the reason I live (the reason I live is to worship You), (worship You),

I worship You (You are my God),

I worship You (You), the reason I live is to worship You.

When I look into Your holiness (Your holiness), when I gaze into Your loveliness (Your loveliness), when all things that surround become shadows, (become shadows), in the light of You (in the light of You), (in the light of You).

When I've found the joy of reaching Your heart, (of reaching Your heart), when my will becomes enthroned in Your love, (enthroned in Your love), when all things that surround become shadows, in the light of You (it's the reason I live).

I worship You, I worship You, I worship You (I worship You), the reason I live is to worship You (I worship You), I worship You (with all of my heart, I'm going to worship You), I worship You (I worship You), the reason I live is to worship You.

As I kneel before you, as I bow my head in prayer, take this day, make it yours and fill me with your love.

Ave Maria, Gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu.

All I have I give you, every dream and wish are yours, mother of Christ, mother of mine, present them to my Lord.

As I kneel before you, and I see your smiling face, ev’ry thought, ev’ry word is lost in your embrace.
