Prayer Text
O God of all strength and consolation, look mercifully upon my weakness and stretch forth the right hand of Your majesty to be my defense. Grant me, I beseech You, the fortitude of the Holy Spirit, that I may bear with patience all the trials and adversities of this life. When I am weak, be my strength; when I am afraid, be my courage; when I falter, be my firm foundation. Let me never be separated from You by sin or discouragement, but rather let me persevere in faith, hope, and charity until the end. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel and all the holy angels, defend me in the day of battle and grant me the victory. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
