I know we all pray for each other, and I am so thankful for our prayers all together.
Let's keep praying and praying strongly especially now when I think we're all having to bear some extra!
Act of Petitionfrom the Small Roman Missal
ADORABLE Saviour, "in Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and all the fullness of the Godhead dwelleth corporally," consider my many wants, and grant me those graces which Thou knowest I stand in need of to do Thy will in all things.
Thou knowest my weakness and the necessity which I endure; in how great evils and vices I am immersed: how often I am oppressed, tempted, troubled and defiled. To Thee I come for remedy. I pray to Thee for comfort and succour. I speak to Him that knows all things; to Whom all that is within me is manifest, and Who alone can perfectly comfort and help me. Thou knowest what good things I stand most in need of, and how poor I am in virtues.
Behold I stand before Thee poor and naked, begging Thy grace, and imploring Thy mercy. Feed Thy hungry suppliant; inflame my coldness with the fire of Thy love; enlighten my blindness with the brightness of Thy presence.
Amen.
Blessed is the man, O Virgin Mary,
who loves thy name;
thy grace will comfort his soul.
He will be refreshed as by fountains of water;
thou wilt produce in him the fruit of justice.
Blessed art thou among women;
by the faith of thy holy heart.
- St. Bonaventure
