ever, I need Your strength to face whatever is to come. This day, I need to feel You are very
near to me… to give me courage and help to overcome my fear. By myself I cannot meet the
challenge of this day, today I need a Higher Power sustaining me in all that it may bring.
Dear Lord, hold my trembling hand and be with me this day. To know You are holding my
hand, is all I need to know. Just to know Your Blessed Presence is near
(personal prayer of Pope St. John XXIII)
