A Prayer for Trust and Confidence in God's Mercy
 
by St. Pio of Pietrelcina
 
 O Lord,
   we ask for a boundless confidence
   and trust in Your divine mercy,
   and the courage to accept
   the crosses and sufferings
   which bring immense goodness
   to our souls and that of Your Church.

Help us to love You
   with a pure and contrite heart,
   and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross,
   as we climb the mountain of holiness,
   carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory.

May we receive You
   with great faith and love in Holy Communion,
   and allow You to act in us as You desire
   for your greater glory.

O Jesus, most adorable Heart
   and eternal fountain of Divine Love,
   may our prayer find favor before
   the Divine Majesty of Your heavenly Father.

A Prayer
 
by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
 
May Jesus comfort you
     in all your afflictions.
     May He sustain you in dangers,
     watch over you always with His grace,
     and indicate the safe path
     that leads to eternal salvation.
     And may He render you always
     dearer to His Divine Heart
     and always more worthy of Paradise.    
 Amen
