1. O Tuhan, Engkau yang menaruh belas
kasihan kepada semua orang,
Jauhkanlah aku dari dosa-dosaku,
dan dengan belas kasih-Mu,
nyalakanlah api Roh Kudus-Mu di dalam diriku.
Ambillah dariku hati yang membatu,
dan berilah aku hati yang lembut,
hati yang mencintai dan menyembah-Mu,
hati yang bersukacita di dalam
Engkau,
untuk mengikuti dan menikmati Mu,
Amin.
- St. Ambrose dari Milan (339-397
Masehi)
O Lord, who hast mercy upon all,
take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me
the fire of thy Holy Spirit.
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore Thee,
a heart to delight in Thee,
to follow and enjoy Thee,
for Christ's sake, Amen.
- St. Ambrose of Milan (AD 339-397)

2. " TO LOVE FASTING "
O Lord,
I place myself in your hands
and dedicate myself to you.
I pledge myself to do your will in
all things:
To love the Lord God with all my
heart,
all my soul, all my strength.
Not to kill. Not to steal. Not to
covet.
Not to bear false witness.
To honor all persons.
Not to do to another what I would not
wish done to myself.
To chastise the body.
Not to seek after pleasures.
To love fasting.
- Saint Benedict.
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. "The Blessed Sacrament"
Buatlah hatiku Yesus, satu dengan
Hati-Mu.
Supaya aku dapat mengasihi orang lain
seperti Engkau telah mengasihiku,
Bukan untuk keuntunganku sendiri,
tapi demi Engkau.
Dengan kekuatan Hati Kudus-Mu,
bagai kekuatan api yang mengubah
segala sesuatu menjadi seperti ia,
buatlah kami bersatu dalam
mencintai-Mu,
dengan menarik semua orang kepada-Mu.
Sebab Engkaulah Sang Domba Paskah,
dikorbankan untuk menebus dosa,
yang, dalam Sakramen Mahakudus,
bersinar seperti pelangi rohani.
Engkau bersinar dalam perjanjian baru
yang kekal ini,
keindahan besar surga,
selalu di depan pandangan Bapa,
mengabadikan kurban sempurna-Mu di
kayu Salib,
pengorbanan yang begitu menyenangkan
Allah
sehingga Ia mengabulkan segala
sesuatu yang baik,
yang diminta dalam nama kudus-Mu.
Amin
- Fr. Vincent Martin Lucia
========
Make my heart, Jesus, one with Yours,
that I may love others as You have
loved me,
not for selfish gain but for Your
sake alone.
By the power of Your Sacred Heart,
like the power of fire to transform
everything to itself,
make us one in loving You
by drawing all humantity to Yourself.
For You are the Paschal Lamb,
offered for sins,
who, in the Blessed Sacrament,
shines out like a spiritual rainbow.
You radiate in this new
and everlasting covenant,
the very beauty of paradise,
always before the eyes of the Father,
perpetuating here Your perfect
sacrifice
on the Cross,
a sacrifice so pleasing that the
Father grants
everything good, asked for
in Your Holy Name. Amen.
Fr. Vincent Martin Lucia.

4. "Lord Jesus, our Savior, let us
now come to you:
Our hearts are cold; Lord,
warm them with your selfless love.
Our hearts are sinful;
cleanse them with your precious
blood.
Our hearts are weak;
strengthen them with your joyous
Spirit.
Our hearts are empty;
fill them with your divine presence.
Lord Jesus, our hearts are yours;
possess them always and only for
yourself."
(Prayer of St Augustine, 354-430
A.D.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.Prayer, mercy and fasting:
These three are one, and they give
life to each other.
Fasting is the soul of prayer;
mercy is the lifeblood of fasting.
Let no one try to separate them;
they cannot be separated.
If you have only one of them or not
all together,
you have nothing.
So if you pray, fast;
if fast, show mercy;
if you want your petition to be
heard, hear the petition of others.
When you fast, see the fasting of
others.
If you hope for mercy, show mercy.
If you look for kindness, show
kindness.
If you want to receive, give.
- St. Peter Chrysologus, 380-450
Masehi.
================================
6.“Happy the soul to whom it is given to
attain this life with Christ, to cleave with all one’s heart to Him
whose beauty all the heavenly hosts
behold forever,
whose love inflames our love,
the contemplation of whom is our
refreshment,
whose graciousness is our delight,
whose gentleness fills us to
overflowing,
whose remembrance makes us glow with
happiness,
whose fragrance revives the dead,
the glorious vision of whom will be
the happiness of all the citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem.
For He is the brightness of eternal
glory,
the splendour of eternal light,
the mirror without spot.”
- St Clare of Assisi to St Agnes of
Prague
--------------------------------------------------------------------
7.Lord, Holy Father,
show us what kind of man it is who is
Who is hanging for our sakes on the
cross,
Whose suffering causes the rocks
themselves
to crack and crumble with compassion,
Whose death brings the dead back to
life.
Let my heart crack and crumble
at the sight of Him.
Let my soul break apart
with compassion for His suffering.
Let it be shattered with grief at
my sins for which He dies.
And finally let it be softened with
devoted love for Him.
– St. Bonaventure
Allah, Bapa yang kudus,
Tunjukkan pada kami, Dia..
Yang tergantung di kayu salib demi
kami,
Yang penderitaan-Nya menyebabkan
bebatuan retak hancur dengan iba
haru,
Yang kematian-Nya menghidupkan orang
mati.
Biarkan hatiku terbuka dan luruh
saat melihat-Nya.
Biarkan jiwaku pecah akan belas kasih
bagi penderitaan-Nya,
hancur dalam kesedihan atas dosa-dosaku
yang menyebabkan kematian-Nya,
dan akhirnya, biarlah hatiku melembut
dengan cinta setia kepada-Nya.
St. Bonaventura
-----------------------------------------
8.O Lord and Master of my life, take
from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.
But give rather the spirit of
chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.
Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see
my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou, unto
ages of ages. Amen.
-St. Ephrem of Syria
O Tuhan dan penguasa hidupku,
Ambillah dariku roh kemalasan, putus
asa, nafsu akan kekuasaan, dan kata-kata hampa.
Sebaliknya,
Berikanlah roh kesucian, kerendahan
hati, kesabaran, dan cinta kepada-Mu.
Ya Tuhan dan Raja-ku,
Berilah supaya aku dapat melihat
kesalahanku sendiri,
dan tidak menghakimi saudaraku,
Terberkati Engkau, sepanjang segala
masa. Amin.
-St. Efrem dari Siria (306-373)
===========================
9.O my God,
teach my heart where and how to seek
You,
where and how to find You.
You are my God and You are my all and
I have never seen You.
You have made me and remade me,
You have bestowed on me all the good
things I possess,
Still I do not know You.
I have not yet done that for which I
was made.
Teach me to seek You.
I cannot seek You unless You teach me
or find You unless You show Yourself
to me.
Let me seek You in my desire,
let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by loving You,
let me love You when I find You.
Amen.
- St. Anselm of Canterbury
Oh Tuhanku,
Ajarilah hatiku..
dimana dan bagaimana mencari-Mu,
dimana dan bagaimana menemukan-Mu.
Engkaulah Allahku dan segalaku
dan aku tak pernah melihatMu.
Engkau telah menciptakan aku
dan memperbarui aku.
Engkaulah yang telah menganugerahiku
semua hal baik yang menjadi milikku,
tetap.. aku tidak mengenal-Mu.
Aku belum melakukan apa yang
seharusnya, tujuan dari aku diciptakan.
Ajari aku untuk mencari-Mu.
Aku tidak dapat mencari-Mu jika bukan
Kau yang mengajariku,
Aku tidak dapat menemukan-Mu jika
bukan Kau yang menunjukkan Diri-Mu padaku.
Biarkan aku mencari-Mu dalam
keinginanku,
Biarkan aku menginginkan-Mu dalam
pencarianku.
Biarkan aku menemukan-Mu dengan
mengasihi-Mu,
Biarkan aku mengasihi-Mu ketika aku
menemukan-Mu.
Amin.
- St. Anselmus dari Canterbury (1033-
1109
===========================
10. Grant me, O Lord,
to know what I ought to know,
to love what I ought to love,
to praise what delights Thee most,
to value what is precious in Thy
sight,
to hate what is offensive to Thee.
Do not suffer me to judge according
to the sight of my eyes,
nor to pass sentence according to the
hearing of the ears of ignorant men;
but to discern with a true judgement
between things visible and spiritual,
and above all things always to
inquire what is the good pleasure of Thy will.
Thomas A Kempis 1380-1471
Karuniai aku,
ya Tuhan,
Untuk mengetahui apa yang harus
kuketahui,
Untuk mencintai apa yang harus
kucintai,
Untuk memuji yang paling
menyenangkan-Mu,
Untuk menghargai apa yang berharga di
mata-Mu,
Untuk membenci apa yang menghina-Mu.
Jangan biarkan aku menghakimi menurut
dari penglihatan mataku,
atau berpendapat menurut pendengaran
bodohku,
tapi dapat membedakan dengan penilaian yang benar, hal-hal yang
terlihat dan yang tidak,
dan di atas semuanya,
selalu mencari apa yang menjadi
kehendak-Mu.
- Thomas A Kempis 1380 -1471
