A Franciscan Litany for Corpus Christi

 An old one (from 2014) for the day that's in it: 


A Franciscan litany for Corpus Christi : 

The feast of the Body & Blood of the Lord.





Sacrament of the Poverty of God: 

Make us poor from the giving of ourselves


Sacrament of the Emptiness of God: 

Empty us of ourselves that we may be filled


Sacrament of the Littleness of God: 

Make us know our smallness in joy


Sacrament of the Silence of God: 

Invite us to dwell in your silence always


Sacrament of the goodness of God in creation: 

Make us reverent before You in all your creatures.


Sacrament of the mercy of God: 

Make us merciful to all and to ourselves


Sacrament of the invisible God: 

Teach us to seek your presence always


Sacrament of the marriage feast: 

Invite us into the embrace of infinite love


Sacrament of Remembrance: 

Teach us to remember You always


Sacrament of the Humility of God: 

Teach us the way of humility.


Sacrament of the Real Presence: 

Teach us to be really present to our brothers and sisters in their need.


Mary our mother, 

vestment of God, 

and first tabernacle of the Most High,

teach us the way of silent love, 

the deepest contemplation, 

and the opening of the heart 

as a dwelling place for God.
