Most merciful and gracious Father, I bless and enlarge your title that you’ve adopted me as your expensive baby and have given me the inheritance of my elder Brother, Jesus Christ. Father of mercies and God of all consolation, strengthen me that I’ll bear the yoke and burden of the Lord, with out grumbling or unwillingness. Lord, I’m unable to face beneath the cross on my own, however you’ll be able to ease my load by strengthening my spirit, that I could also be strongest when I’m weakest, and could possibly do and endure every part that you simply please by means of Christ who strengthens me. Let me move by means of the valley of tears, even the valley of the shadow of demise, with security and peace, with a meek spirit, and a way of your divine mercy; by means of Jesus Christ. Amen.
