I Cannot Do This Alone

O God, early in the morning I cry to you.

Help me to pray

And to concentrate my thoughts on you:

I cannot do this alone.

In me there is darkness,

But with you there is light;

I am lonely, but you do not leave me;

I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help;

I am restless, but with you there is peace.

In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;

I do not understand your ways,

But you know the way for me�

Restore me to liberty,

And enable me to live now

That I may answer before you and before me.

Lord, whatever this day may bring,

Your name be praised.

AMEN.

Prayer for Trust in Jesus

O Christ Jesus,

when all is darkness

and we feel our weakness and helplessness,

give us the sense of Your presence,

Your love, and Your strength.

Help us to have perfect trust

in Your protecting love

and strengthening power,

so that nothing may frighten or worry us,

for, living close to You,

we shall see Your hand,

Your purpose, Your will through all things.
AMEN.

~ St. Ignatius of Loyola ~

God Is Our Hope

God is our hope and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved,

and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof rage and swell,

and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,

the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

~ Psalms 46: 1-4 ~

Prayer for Peace in the Family

Lord Jesus, 

our family needs Your help today. 

We need Your peace and tranquility, 

an end to discord.

Give us strength and compassion 

to understand each other, 

wisdom and love 

to help each other, 

and the trust and patience 

we need to live peacefully together. 

Grant that, through the intercession 

of Your mother, Mary, and St. Joseph, 

our family too may become a holy family, 

a family that works together as one, 

a family that embraces peace and love, 

a family whose members are dedicated
to each other and to You. 

Amen.

St. Jude's Prayer for Mothers

St. Jude, patron of hope, carry our gratitude for our 

mothers to our loving God in heaven. May all mothers be 

filled with the spirit of life that is theirs as creators of life. 

Help them to grow in faith, that they may impart the 

wisdom of Christ to all who look to them for guidance. We 

pray that you will give your tender mercy to mothers who 

grieve, and hold close our beloved mothers who have 

gone to their eternal rest. 

St. Jude, pray for our mothers and all who have nurtured our lives.
AMEN.
