Prayer in Time of Affliction
Blessed, O Lord, be Thy Name forever, Who has permitted this affliction to come upon us. We cannot escape it, but must of necessity fly to Thee to help us and turn it to our good.
Lord, we are now in affliction. Our souls are ill at ease, for we are much troubled with this present
suffering. Let it please Thee, O Lord, to deliver us, for, poor wretches that we are, what can we do without Thee? Thy mighty Hand can do all things.
Give us patience, O Lord, and strength and peace. Help us, O God, and we will not fear, no matter how
grievously we may be afflicted. O Lord, “Thy Will be done!” Welcome be the Will of God! Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in Thee
