Operation Smile

Ala Eh!

May Operation Smile sa Lipa City ngayong Mayo!

Quick Warning

Hello fellow nurses!

Quick warning lang, mag-ingat kayo sa mga agencies kahit may POEA license.

Kung may makita kayong agency na tinatawag na "Best One" o "Best 1", mag-ingat kayo dahil ang balita sa akin ay maraming problemang ihinahatid ang administration nila sa mga nurse clients nila.

Huwag natin maging bukambibig ang mga katagang,"Okey lang kahit ano, basta maka-alis lang". Dapat ay matuto tayong mag-investigate bago pumirma ng kahit anong contract.

Good luck.

PRAYER BEFORE GOING TO WORK

How gracious are you, O God, You give us everything in this life: food on the table, clothes on our backs, a roof over our heads, a meaningful existence, the spirit of discernment. How gracious are You, O God, to enhance this unworthy body with a creative mind, and skillful hands. You gift us with innumerable talents and make us stewards of Your land. You call us not servants but masters of all Your creation.

Guide us that we may remain faithful and responsible workers and tenants of Your vineyard.

Grant us grace no to doubt Your Word nor challenge Your Divine Will. Keep us from succumbing to the seduction of fame, the lures of material wealth, the quest for personal gain. May we not gamble future glory for the passing pleasures of this world. Give us the courage to stake everything on You alone, O dear God. AMEN.

A STUDENT’S PRAYER TO ST. ANTHONY

O Glorious St. Anthony, divinely endowed with the learning of Saints, I desire to place my studies under your protection. Guided by your example, I wish to draw all my knowledge from the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

With your assistance, I will study, to do my duty, in a spirit of penance, and with a pure intention.

May the “Father of Light” grant me, through your intercession, a bright intellect, a sound judgment and a retentive memory.

Help me to study patiently, orderly and constantly to develop in me the gifts of God and always to make good use of them according to His Divine Will.

O dear St. Anthony, grant me to succeed in all my studies and examinations, if it be for the greater glory of God and the benefit of my soul. AMEN.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO

O St. Joseph of Cupertino, who by your prayer obtained from God to be asked at your examination, the only preposition you knew. Grant that I may, like you, succeed in the (mention the name of exam). In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.

O St. Joseph of Cupertino, pray for me.

LET ME BE A HEALING PRESENCE

Today, Lord, and all the days of my life,
let me be a healing presence to others as You have been to me.
You have touched my life, healed me and made me whole.
You have given me strength, hope and joy and filled my life with peace.
You have lifted up my spirits and made me soar high in the wings of Your love.
With a grateful heart, let me now give back to You this humble offering of myself, my time, my talents, my treasures, my prayers, most of all my love.
Use me as Your channel of peace, love and joy for others.
Lord, let me be so filled with Your healing love that it flows to each and every weary,
burdened and broken person You send my way.
Today Lord and all the days of my life,
let me be a healing presence to others as You have been to me.
AMEN.
