GOD BLESS THE WORLD
by John J. Morris, S.J.
Mighty God, Father of all,
 Compassionate God, Mother of all,
 Bless every person I met,
 every face I have seen,
 every voice I have heard,
 especially those most dear;
 bless every city, town and
 street that I have known,
 bless every sight I have seen,
 every sound I have heard,
 every object I have touched.
 In some mysterious way these have all fashioned my life:
 all that I am,
 I have received.
 Great God, bless the world.

MEMORARAE
Remember, O most
gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in they mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
