O Mary,
except for God,
no one knows of your suffering.
Your soul does not break;
it is brave because it is with Jesus.
Sweet Mother, unite my soul to Jesus,
because it is only then
that I will be able to endure all trials
and tribulations,
and only in union with Jesus
will my little sacrifices
be pleasing to God.
Sweetest Mother,
continue to teach me about the inner life.
May the sword of suffering never break me.
O pure Virgin,
place courage into my heart and guard it.
Amen
Prayer for strength and courage |
