Come Holy Spirit.....

Come, Holy Spirit!

Come, Holy Spirit, upon us!

Come, Rushing Wind of God!

Shake the complacent stillness, the tiredness and apathy and torpor of our hearts and soul!Sweep away from our hearts and souls and bodies our mental and physical inactivity and insensibility and our lethargy!

Veni, Sancte Spiritus.

Come, Holy Spirit, upon us!

Come, Holy Spirit!

Come, Holy Spirit, upon us!

Come, Living Fire of God!

Do not let us remain as we were yesterday, one hour ago, or as we think we will be tomorrow.

Melt us and mould us into true children of the Holy God who breathes you into us.

Enable us to speak the language of love, the only language that is understood by everyone.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus!

Come, Breath from God's holy intimacy.

Come, Fire from the hearth of God's heart.

Come, come, come, Spirit of Holiness!

Veni, Sancte Spiritus!

Prayers to St Joseph

O My beloved St Joseph, adopt me as your child, take care of my salvation, watch over me day and night, preserve me from the occasion of sin, obtain for me purity of soul and body!

Through your intercession with Jesus grant me a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial, a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and a sweet tender love for Mary, my Mother.

Saint Joseph, be with me living, be with me dying, and obtain for me a favourable judgement from Jesus my merciful Saviour. Amen

TALBA LIL SAN ĠUŻEPP

O Mqaddes Ġużeppi, fil-hemm li fih ninsabu, lejk nirrikorru u b’tama kbira nsejħu l-patroċinju tiegħek, wara l-patroċinju tal-Għarusa mqaddsa tiegħek. Mela, f’gieħ dik ir-rabta għażiża ta’ mħabba li biha kont marbut max-Xebba bla tebgħa, Omm Alla, u f’ġieh dik l-imħabba ta’ missier li biha ħabbejt lit-tfajjel Ġesù, nitolbuk li tħares ħarsa ħelwa lejn il-wirt għażiż, li Ġesù Kristu rebaħ b’Demmu, u bis-setgħa u bil-għajnuna tiegħek tidħol għalina fil-bżonnijiet tagħna.

Kif int, o Ġużeppi, kont taħseb f’din l-art għall-Familja Divina u tħarisha, hekk ukoll ħu ħsieb tal-familja maħtura ta’ Ġesù Kristu.

Eqred minn ġo nofsna, o Missier ħanin, din il-pesta ta’ erruri u ta’ ħażen li qegħdin imarrdu d-dinja, ieqaf magħna mis-smewwiet, f’din il-gwerra li għandna mal-qawwa tad-dlamijiet, o Protettur qawwi tagħna; u kif darba ħlist mill-mewt lill-Bambin Ġesù, hekk issa ddefendi l-Knisja mqaddsa t’Alla mit-tnassis tal-għedewwa u minn kull hemm.

Xerred dejjem fuq kull wieħed minna l-patroċinju tiegħek, sabiex bl-eżempju u bil-għajnuna tiegħek, nistgħu ngħixu ħajja qaddisa, nagħmlu mewta tajba, u naqilgħu l-hena ta’ dejjem ġewwa l-ġenna. Ammen.

Memorare to Saint Joseph

Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any who implored your help and sought your intercession were left unassisted. Full of confidence in your power, I fly unto you, and beg your protection. Despise not, O foster-father of the Redeemer, my humble supplication but in your bounty hear and answer me. Amen.

Ftakar, O Għarus purissimu ta' Marija Verġni, O ħelu Protettur tiegħi San Ġużepp, li qatt ħadd fid-dinja ma' nstama li sejjaħ il-għajnuna u talab il-protezzjoni tiegħek mingħajr ma' ġie minnek ikkonsolat. B'din it-tama qawwija, jiena niġi quddiemek, u b'ħerqa kbira lilek, nirrakommanda ruħi. Deh! ilqa t-talba tiegħi, O Missier Puttativ tar-Redentur, u ismagħni bil-ħniena. Ammen
