Te Deum�
�
�
O God, we praise Thee, and acknowledge �
Thee to be the supreme Lord. �
Everlasting Father, all the earth worships Thee. �
All the Angels, the heavens, and all angelic powers, All the
Cherubim and Seraphim, �
continuously cry to Thee: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!�
�
God of Hosts! Heaven and earth are full �
of the Majesty of Thy glory. �
The glorious choir of the Apostles,�
The wonderful company of Prophets, �
The white�robed army of Martyrs, praise Thee. �
�
� Holy Church throughout the world �
acknowledges Thee: �
The Father of infinite Majesty; �
Thy adorable, true and only Son; �
Also the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. �
�
O Christ, Thou art the King of glory! �
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. �
When Thou tookest it upon Thyself to deliver man, Thou
didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.�
�
� Having overcome the sting of death, �
Thou opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. Thou
sitest at the right hand of God�
in the glory of the Father. �
�
We believe that Thou willst come to be our Judge. We,
therefore, beg Thee to help Thy servants �
whom Thou hast redeemed �
with Thy Precious Blood. �
Let them be numbered with Thy Saints �
in everlasting glory. Amen.�
�
�
� Veni, Creator Spiritus�
�
� Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,�
and in our souls take up Thy rest;�
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid�
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.�
�
� O Comforter, to Thee we cry,�
O heavenly gift of God Most High,�
O fount of life and fire of love,�
and sweet anointing from above.�
�
� Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;�
Thou, finger of God's hand we own;�
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou�
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.�
�
� Kindle our sense from above,�
and make our hearts o'erflow with love;�
with patience firm and virtue high�
the weakness of our flesh supply.�
�
� Far from us drive the foe we dread,�
and grant us Thy peace instead;�
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,�
turn from the path of life aside.�
�
� Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow�
the Father and the Son to know;�
and Thee, through endless times confessed,�
of both the eternal Spirit blest.�
�
� Now to the Father and the Son,�
Who rose from death, be glory given,�
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,�
henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.�
�
*For the plenary indulgence, please remember that the
rules of Confession, reception of the Eucharist, �
and prayers for the Holy Father apply.�
�
In all things, give thanks…�
�
� It’s a longstanding Catholic practice to give thanks to God for the graces and blessings of the previous year �
and then to make petitions for the year to come. In fact, the prayers are indulgenced so that we are encouraged to make
prayer a habit every December 31st. Below please find the prescribed prayers.�
�
End 2019 with the Te Deum�
�
� The Te Deum, also sometimes called the Ambrosian Hymn because of its association with St. Ambrose, is a traditional
hymn of joy and thanksgiving. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it in thanksgiving and a plenary
indulgence* is granted if the hymn is recited publicly (for example, at Mass) on the last day of the year. Source: EWTN.com�
� � �
Begin 2020 with the Veni, Creator Spiritus �
�
� One of the most widely used hymns in the Church, “Veni, Creator Spiritus,” is used at Vespers, Pentecost,
Confirmation, and whenever the Holy Spirit is solemnly invoked. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it.
A plenary indulgence* is granted if it is recited on January 1st or on the feast of Pentecost. � � � � �
Help for depression �
�
�
� The holiday season can be a very difficult time for
those who struggle with depression. It’s easy to feel isolat-
ed and lose hope. Consider that even our Saints have expe-
rienced depression, as evidenced through St. Pio’s per-
sonal prayer below. In addition to prayer, the Saints knew
how to “Let go and let God.” Pray, and then take your
hands off your hurts and let God help, which He wants to
do. Ask St. Pio, our Blessed Mother, or your favorite Saint
to intercede and show you the way. �
�
�
Stay with me, Lord �
�
Written by St. Pio of Pietrelcina, to be said after �
Holy Communion or anytime you need the Lord’s consolation�
�
� Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You
present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily �
I abandon You.�Stay with me Lord, because I am weak,
and I need Your strength, so that I may not fall so of-
ten.�Stay with me Lord, for You are my life, and without
You, I am without fervor.��
�
� Stay with me Lord, for You are my light, and with-
out you, I am in darkness.�Stay with me Lord, to show me
Your will.�Stay with me Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.�Stay with me Lord, for I desire to love you
very much, and always be in Your Company.�Stay with me
Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.��
�
� Stay with me Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want
it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.�Stay
with me, Jesus, for it is getting late, and the day is coming
to a close, and life passes, death, judgment, eternity ap-
proach. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will
not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting
late and death approaches. I fear the darkness, the tempta-
tions, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need
You, my Jesus, in this night of exile.��
�
� Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dan-
gers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples
did at the breaking of bread, so that the Eucharistic Com-
munion be the light which disperses the darkness, the force
which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.��
�
� Stay with me Lord, because at the hour of my death,
I want to remain united to you, if not by Communion, at
least by grace and love.��
�
� Stay with me Jesus, I do not ask for divine consola-
tion because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your presence,
oh yes, I ask this of You.�Stay with me Lord, for it is You
alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your
Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other
reward but to love You more and more.��
�
� With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart
while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during
all eternity. Amen.��
Sunday collections for the month of December �
