Novena with the Servant of God Darwin Ramos, street child

O GOD of all Joy, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
you never leave alone those who are in a time of trial.
We thank you for giving us,
in Darwin Ramos, a street child,
an illuminating example of Christian life.

During his short life
you gave him the grace
of simple never-failing faith,
of joyful hope in illness,
of endless charitable concern for his neighbor.

We pray you grant your servant Darwin glorification on earth
so that young and sick people may find in him a master of Joy.
Through his intercession, hear our prayer,
(express it here).

We ask this, through Jesus-Christ, our Lord. Amen.

(Our Father/Hail Mary/Glory to the Father.) 

The Way of the Cross led by Pope Francis

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And let us not enter into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen

Pray Each Day of The Holy Week

Holy Week Meditations with the Dominicans

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley 
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff--they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Holy Week with St John Henry Newman

O God, give me grace at this time duly to confess my sins before you, and truly to repent of them. Blot out of your book, gracious Lord, all my manifold acts of sin committed against you. Forgive me all my wanderings in prayer, my sins of omission, my deliberate sins against conscience. Give me eyes to see what is right, and a heart to follow it, and strength to perform it; and grant that I may in all things press forward in the work of sanctification and ever do your will, and at length through your mercy attain to the glories of your everlasting kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord.
