God our Father

Saint Charbel Family "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" Acts 2-42

God our Father

You know how weak I am.

Do not leave me to myself

But take me under your protection

And give me grace to act upon

My holy resolutions.

Enlighten my understanding

With a lively faith,

Raise up my will to a firm hope,

And inflame it with an ardent charity.

Strengthen my weakness,

And cure the corruption of my heart.

Grant that I may overcome the enemies of my soul,

And that I may make good use of your grace,

And if it be that I should die today,

Grant me the gift of final perseverance.
