Prayers in Times of Calamity

ETERNAL FATHER, sign us with the Blood of the Immaculate Lamb, as Thou didst sign the dwellings of thy people. Gloria PATRI. MOST precious Blood of JESUS our Love, cry for mercy for us from thy Divine FATHER, and deliver us. Gloria PATRI. WOUNDS of my JESUS, mouths of love and mercy, speak for us in pity to the Eternal FATHER; hide us within yourselves and deliver us. Gloria PATRI. ETERNAL FATHER, JESUS is ours; ours his Blood, ours his infinite merits; to Thee we offer ourselves wholly: then, if Thou lovest Him, and boldest precious this gift we make Thee, Thou oughtest to deliver us: for this we hope with fullest confidence. Gloria PATRI.

ETERNAL FATHER, Thou desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live: in thy mercy grant that we may live before Thee and be for ever thine. Gloria PATRI. SAVE us, CHRIST our SAVIOUR, by the virtue of thy holy Cross; Thou who didst save Peter in the sea, have mercy upon us. MARY, Mother of.mercy, pray for us, and we shall be delivered; Mary, our advocate, speak for us, and we shall be saved. The LORD justly scourgeth us for our sins; but do thou, Mary, plead for us, for thou art our most tender Mother. Mary, in thy JESUS, and in thee, have we put our hope; oh, let us never be confounded. Salve Regina (see p. 184).
