PRAYER
IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY
Beloved Saints Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila and Companion Martyrs: You who experienced
the supreme sacrifice of martyrdom for the proclamation of the Christian faith,
inspire us with your strength and firmness of conviction to withstand the
adversities of our lives and the difficulties of our existence. Teach us with
your marvelous example and saintly wisdom to turns trial into blessings, by
showing us the glory that comes from discovering the redemptive power of God's
love. When times are full of grief, when moments are suffused with worry, let us
feel your presence in our midst, so that we will be aware that you are by our
side, strengthening us and interceding for us before Almighty God that we may
have patience in our sufferings and consolation in our hardships. Help us
realize that only in knowing our weakness can we be strong, only undergoing
sadness can we find real happiness, and only passing through trials and distress
can we find peace, encouragement and spiritual joy. Amen.
