to sustain, guard and protect me.
Let your wounds be my food and drink,
to nourish, fill and invigorate me.
Let the shedding our your blood cleanse
me of all my sins.
Let your death obtain eternal life for me,
and your cross lead me to everlasting glory.
Let these constitute for me
refreshment and joy, health and uprightness of heart.
- St. Pius X
For Reflection:
In what one way does Jesus’ passion need to be my strength at this time?
