What can man do against me? The Lord is at my side as my helper. I shall look down on my foe.

out from it’s tents, to celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection.

Oh Señor Santo Nino, you are our king and our God, we worship you, you are our strong defender, we turn to

you. You have made extraordinary wonders through your miraculous image in these chosen islands.

Remember us. Look down at these poor souls who come to you for help, lead us with your wisdom, discipline

us with your truth, console us with your tenderness, protect us with your might. We consecrate today our

thoughts to you, only of you shall they be occupied, our words, only of you shall they speak, our sufferings, that

we may endure them for your sake. We beg you Señor Santo Nino, illumine our understanding, kindle our will,

cleanse our body and sanctify our soul. We wish what you wish because you wish as You wish, as long as

you wish. Grant us Señor Santo Nino that we may feel love towards you, be strict towards ourselves, be

zealous towards our fellowmen and rightly despise the things of the world. Help us to overcome sensuality with

strict discipline, avariciousness with generosity, anger with gentleness, and indolence with zealous industry.

Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity, humble in prosperity. Teach us dear

Santo Nino, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time and how long is eternity.

Grant us lastly, that we may remember you, adore you, love you and serve you here on earth and that we may

be happy with you, forever and ever in heaven, Amen.

THANK YOU LORD

Thank you Lord for the trials that come my way

In that way I can grow each day as I let you lead

Thank you Lord for the patience those trial bring

In the cross there’s a growing as I learn to share

But if you’re hasty to change my way

To put my human nature down

Please let your spirit take control of all I do

Cause when those trials come my human

Nature shouts the things I do

And your soft promptings can be easily ignore

But I thank you Lord for the victory those trials bring

To surrender my everything is so worthwhile

And I thank you Lord for in my cross is your embrace

Even in darkness I see your face

For in you I belong… Thank you Dear Lord
