Here's a prayer that gave me strength through the trials of my recent past.
God, our Father, who is all Power and Goodness, give strength to those who are going through their trials. Give light to those who are seeking truth. Put compassion and charity in the hearts of all people. God, give the traveler the guiding star; the afflicted consolation; the sick rest. Father, give the guilty repentance; the spirit truth; the child a guide; the orphan a father. Lord, may Your goodness extend over all that You created. Mercy, Lord, on those who don't know You. Hope, for those who suffer. May Your goodness allow the consoling spirits to spread everywhere peace, hope and faith. Photo: Chartre Cathedral, France
