Prayer - First Week

Sadabalarupapi vighnadihantri
mahadantivaktrapi pancasyamanya !
vidhindradimrgya ganesabhidhame
vidhattam sriyam kapi kalyanamurtihi !!

Though His form is of the Eternal Child, He destroys mountainous obstructions; though possessed of the face of a big elephant, he is revered by lions (symbolic of all animal tendencies), or by Lord Siva (with the five faces); Brahma, Indra and other Devatas strive to know Him, who is known as Ganesha; may that auspicious form of Ganesha bestow spiritual and secular welfare on us.

Prayer - Second  Week

O Jesus, drink of me

I have no wit, no words, no tears;

My heart within me like a stone

Is numb’d too much for hopes or fears;

Look right, look left, I dwell alone;

I lift mine eyes, but dimm’d with grief

No everlasting hills I see;

My life is in the falling leaf:

O Jesus, quicken me . . .

My life is like a broken bowl,

A broken bowl that cannot hold

One drop of water for my soul

Cast in the fire the perish’d thing;

Melt and remould it, till it be

A royal cup for Him, my King:

O Jesus, drink of me.
