Lord, make my faith strong, that it not fear the contradiction of problems that the experience of our life eager for light is full of; may it not fear the opposition of those who contest it, attack it, refuse it and deny it; but that she fortific in the intimate experience of truth, that it resists the wear and tear of criticism, that it asserts itself in continuous affirmation, that it overcomes the dialectical and spiritual difficulties in the midst of which our temporal experience takes place.

Lord, make my faith joyful, may it give peace and joy to my soul, may it be willing to pray to God and to converse with men in such a way that it radiates in these sacred and profane encounters the inner happiness of Your happy possession. Amen!

Always, always, always… May the divine light that emanates from Your deepest mercy illuminate my days from here on, forever. Amen!
