In You there is rest. In You there is hope. Against trial and chaos, You are the guiding light leading us to joy. Your Son calls us to brotherhood with Him; in time of sorrow He is there and His own life He did not spare in proving how far He would share our trials. He died for sinners to bring joy to those who look to Him.

Make me a worthy vessel of Your grace. Your love. Your hope. That I may share it with those around me, to inspire them to work toward the ultimate end of life, every day embracing this gift of life, assisting others to carry their crosses, while also shouldering ours.

True happiness is found in You. Despite all, joy is found in serving You. I reach my hand to touch Your corss, in my mind, and know that the ultimate destiny has already been purchased by Your Body and Blood.  Thank you for the bounty that is ours, and for the trials that remind us of of You. Amen.
