Solomon ask for WISDOM

2 Chronicles 1

¹Solomon son of David established himself firmly over his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
²Then Solomon spoke to all Israel —to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families— ³and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon, for God’s tent of meeting was there, which Moses the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness. ⁴Now David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem. ⁵But the bronze altar that Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the Lord; so Solomon and the assembly inquired of him there. ⁶Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
⁷That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
⁸Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. ⁹Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. ¹⁰Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
¹¹God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, ¹²therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have. ”
¹³Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.
¹⁴Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. ¹⁵The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. ¹⁶Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. ¹⁷They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

Psalm 20

20 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
²May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
³May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

⁴May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
⁵We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

⁶Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
⁸They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.

⁹Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Born in year 1181 at Assisi, Umbria. Died on 4 October, 1226. Feastday celebrated on 4 October annually. Patron of Animals, Merchants & Ecology. Founder of the Franciscan Order (Friars Minor, the Poor Ladies or Clares, and the Brothers and Sisters of Penance).

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Psalm 18

Psalm 18

David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

¹I love you, Lord, my strength.

²The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the hornof my salvation, my stronghold.

³I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
⁴The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁵The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.

⁶In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
⁷The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
⁸Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
⁹He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
¹⁰He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
¹¹He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
¹²Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
¹³The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
¹⁴He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
¹⁵The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

¹⁶He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
¹⁷He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
¹⁸They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
¹⁹He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

²⁰The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
²¹For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
²²All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.
²³I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.
²⁴The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

²⁵To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
²⁶to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
²⁷You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
²⁸You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
²⁹With your help I can advance against a troop;
with my God I can scale a wall.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
³¹For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
³²It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
³³He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
³⁴He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
³⁶You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.

³⁷I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
³⁸I crushed them so that they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
³⁹You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.
⁴⁰You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
⁴¹They cried for help, but there was no one to save them —
to the Lord, but he did not answer.
⁴²I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them like mud in the streets.
⁴³You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
⁴⁴ foreigners cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
⁴⁵They all lose heart;
they come trembling from their strongholds.

⁴⁶The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
⁴⁷He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,
⁴⁸ who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
⁴⁹Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.

⁵⁰He gives his king great victories;
he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
to David and to his descendants forever.

Jeremiah 29:11-15

¹¹For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹²Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ¹⁴I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.^[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
¹⁵You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,”

[a] Jeremiah 29:14 Or will restore your fortunes

Saint Rita of Cascia - Saint of the Impossible Causes

Prayer
O God, in Your infinite tenderness You have been pleased to regard the prayer of Your servant Rita, and to grant to her supplication that which is impossible to human foresight, skill, and effort, in reward for her compassionate love and firm reliance on Your promises.

Have pity on our adversities and comfort us in our calamities that unbelievers may know that You are the recompense of the humble, the defense of the helpless, and the strength of those who trust in You. Grant this in the Name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Novena Prayer to St Rita of Cascia

O Holy Patroness of those in need, St. Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favors hast been called the advocate of the hopeless and even of the impossible; St. Rita so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus that thou couldst obtain from him whatsoever thou askest, on account of which all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort; be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of the suppliant; be lavish to us as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, or the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee.

We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify, thee by making known thy favor, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Relying upon thy merits and power before the Sacred Heart of Jesus,

We pray: (mention your request)

Obtain for us our request by the singular merits of thy childhood,

By thy perfect union with the Divine Will,

By the heroic sufferings during thy married life,

By the consolation thou didst experience at the conversion of thy husband,

By the sacrifice of thy children rather than see them grievously offend God,

By thy miraculous entrance into the convent,

By thy severe penances and thrice daily bloody scourgings,

By the suffering caused by the wound thou didst receive from the thorn of thy crucified Savior,

By the divine love which consumed thy heart,

By that remarkable devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, on which alone thou didst exist for four years,

By the happiness with which thou didst part from thy trials to join thy Divine Spouse,

By the perfect example thou gavest to people of every state of life.

Pray for us, O holy St. Rita, that we may be made worthy of the

promises of Christ.

(Say the novena each day for nine days. After your prayer is answered, please share your story with others.)

JESUS Help Me!

Luke 18:27

"What is impossible for human beings is possible for God."

Jesus, Help Me!
In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments, troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!
Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me.
AMEN.

Sacred Heart of Jesus & Immaculate Heart of Mary
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus help us to Trust in You
more each day!
