Dearest Jesus,
when I am down, lift me up. When I doubt, enlighten me.
When I am in sorrow, show me Your love. When I criticize, help me to
remain silent. When I judge another in public, seal my lips.
When I utter blasphemies, in Your name, redeem me and bring me back
into Your protection. When I lack courage, give me the sword I need to
do battle and save the souls You desire.
When I resist Your love, help me to surrender and abandon myself,
completely, within Your loving care. When I wander away, help me to find
the path of truth. When I question Your Word, give me the answers I
seek. Help me to be patient, loving and kind even to those who curse You.
Help me to forgive those who offend me and give me the grace I need to
follow You to the ends of the earth. Amen
