…Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is in the Lord.[ Jer. 17:7 ]

We adore You O Christ and we praise You – because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

 

O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and
trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.

How wonderful O Incarnate One, Jesus my Lord and my God, that when You first opened Your newborn eyes You gazed into Our Blessed Mother’s eyes, dazzling pools of sinless purity and beauty – grant me eyes to see!

O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.

Now on the Royal Road of the Cross You gaze into the eyes of Our Mother, the Suffering Madonna, and You see our Mother’s love, her gaze-gift of courage and hope – grant that I might see!

O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.

My heart understands You our High Priest, continuing to climb the steps to the altar of the Cross are teaching me and all priests never to approach the Holy Altar but in the company of Mary, Mother of Priests and when discouraged, burdened, wearied, to contemplate Her Eyes gifting courage and hope – grant me a heart to see!

O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Priests – pray for me and all my brother priests that we might share in your own faith and fiat.

.May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit..[ Rm. 15:13]
