Prayer For Those Who Suffer

For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.

Amen

Prayer of Spouses for Each Other

Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths. Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection.

Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Saint Gertrude the Great

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,

fountain of eternal life,

Your Heart is a glowing furnace of Love.

You are my refuge and my sanctuary.
O my adorable and loving Savior,

consume my heart with the burning

fire with which Yours is aflamed.

Pour down on my soul those graces

which flow from Your love.

Let my heart be united with Yours.

Let my will be conformed to Yours in all things.

May Your Will be the rule of all my desires and actions.

Amen.

--Saint Gertrude the Great
