❖ Prayer of Intercession

Write your blessed name, O Lord, upon my heart,

there to remain so indelibly engraved,

that no prosperity, no adversity shall ever move me from your love.

Be to me a strong tower of defense,

a comforter in tribulation,

a deliverer in distress,

a very present help in trouble,

and a guide to heaven through the many temptations and dangers of this life. Amen.

[Thomas à Kempis]
