Dear Lord, here is a new day you have given me
in which to love you and to help others to love you.
Above all things, help me to love and accept
your holy will. Lord Jesus, in giving me this
cross of my illness, it was your desire to
bring me nearer to you Divine Heart.
I want to bring others also to know you better,
to love you more, and for this I know that good
and holy priests are necessary; so I will
offer my cross, united with yours,
for vocations to the holy priesthood.
Amen
