DEDICATION.
The Lord is King, Most High over all the Earth. The Lord is King, with
Majesty enrobed!
Some may be questioning why we need to pray. Young people nowadays, in a world where anything seems possible at the touch of our fingers, are swathed in confidence about life and what lies ahead. This can be a double-edged sword. It is good to have great self-belief, but not the arrogance that sometimes accompanies it. We should still defer to the experience and accumulated wisdom of our elders, and never forget that we need Almighty God.
109. Agonising Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the dying.

May the Word Divine, born for us Thine Infant, hear our prayers through Thine.
I think you need to be there when someone is dying, to appreciate how precious human life is, and how fragile. It provides a sobering reminder that all will one day pass for us too. Will we be ready to meet our maker? Pardon, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the sins of Thy servants, that we who are not able to please Thee by our own actions, may be saved by the merits of the Mother of Thy Son.
110. O my Jesus, do not let me fall into sin.
DISCOURSE (Clear Speaker).
Remember, man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return. I renounce the world, the flesh and the devil.
What did Jesus, the great teacher, have to say about prayer? Well, He taught first and foremost by example. I think He spent the most of His time to pray, by giving us the Lord’s Prayer. He prayed silently before working miracles, sometimes closing His eyes. He spent the last moments of His earthly life praying for others, including those who had so grievously hurt Him. What greater example of forgiveness and self-sacrifice could there be?
111. I must die once. I know not when, nor how, nor where, but if I die in sin, I am lost forever. O Jesus, have mercy and pity upon me.

For every problem there is a solution. Help me, Dear Lord, to find mine. Amen.
Jesus said: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.” When asked by his apostles “Lord, teach us how to pray” He gave them the Our Father. He is believed to have told a Saint: “Every day, let your first act be to salute my heart and to offer me yours”. At another time, He said “Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” How is our plan for self-development working out? Hopefully, we are not just drifting along aimlessly, but living a purposeful life, founded on prayer and good deeds.
112. Jesus Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul. Jesus Mary and Joseph, assist me in my last agony. Jesus Mary and Joseph, may I die in peace with You Amen.
DARING. GAME.
Dare to dream, who dares wins. Of course, we need to be cautious and circumspect too, but sometimes risks need to be taken. If you don’t speculate, you can’t accumulate. If the chance is there, go for it!
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hand has made. I see the stars. I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the Universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to thee: “How great thou art, how great thou
