Here are the lyrics of this beautiful Song.

1. Blessed Be Your Name,
In the land that is plentiful,
Where Your streams of abundance flow,
Blessed be Your name.

Blessed Be Your name,
When I’m found in the desert place,
Though I walk through the wilderness,
Blessed Be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out,
I’ll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord;
Still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

2. Blessed be Your name,
When the sun’s shining down on me,
When the world’s ‘all as it should be,
Blessed be Your name.

Blessed be Your name,
On the road marked with suffering,
Though there’s pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out,
I’ll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord;
Still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

3. You give and take away,
You give and take away,
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name.

God, You give and take away,
You give and take away,
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Psalm 15 is a beautiful Psalm of David which teaches the qualities of a Righteous Man. We are born in this world to live a righteous life, giving thanks and praise to the Lord. We are here to spread love, joy and peace. During our short sojourn on earth, we should spend each moment loving and helping others. In doing so, we are living out God’s will for us and when we come to the end of our earthly journey, we shall inherit the greatest of all gifts from God – Heaven.

Psalm 15 describes the Righteous Man who shall abide in God’ Sanctuary. These verses guide us and teach us on how we should live our lives so that we can dwell in our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom. As we read this Psalm, let us look into ourselves and ask God for forgiveness for the many times we have failed the Lord.

“1. O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?

2. Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;

3. who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbours;

4. in whose eyes the wicked are despised,
but who honour those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;

5. who do not lend money at interest,
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.

6. Those who do these things shall never be moved.”

Amen

Our Lady of Perpetual Succor is also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

O Mother of Perpetual Succour, behold me a miserable sinner at thy feet. I have recourse to thee and put my trust in thee. O Mother of Mercy, have pity upon me. I hear thee called by all – “the refuge and hope of sinners“; be then my refuge and my hope. Succour me for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to me, a poor sinner, who commends and dedicates myself to thee as thy perpetual servant.

I bless and thank God for having in his mercy given me this confidence in thee, a sure pledge of my eternal salvation. Alas, too often in past times have I miserably fallen because I had not recourse to thee. I know that with they help, I shall conquer; I know you will help me if I commend myself to thee; but I fear lest in the occasions of sin I should cease to call upon thee and so should lose my soul.

This then is the grace I seek from thee and I beg of thee, as far as I can and know how to do; obtain it for me, namely, in the assaults of hell, always to have recourse to thee and to say to thee: O Mary, help me Mother of Perpetual Succour, suffer me not to lose my God.

Heavenly Father, your blessed Son Jesus, asked that his Church be one as you and he are one, but Christians have not been united as Jesus prayed. We have isolated ourselves from each other and failed to listen to each other. We have misunderstood and ridiculed others and even gone so far as to attack each other. In doing so, we have offended you and all our brothers and sisters in the Church, and all who have not believed in you because of our scandalous disunity.

Forgive us , Father and make us fully one. Wipe out out our sins, renew our minds, en-kindle our hearts and guide us by your Holy Spirit into that oneness which is your will.

Here is a short prayer for all Nations’ Leaders.

Almighty and eternal God, you know the longings of people’s hearts and you protect their rights. In your goodness, watch over those in authority, so that people everywhere may enjoy freedom, security and peace. Amen

In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In failures, disappointments, troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and I need Your grace:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on your tender love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure and when no good comes from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I am impatient and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill and cannot work, and when I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!
Always, in spite of my weakness, failures and shortcomings of every kind;
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me. Amen
