A Prayer for Friday

Here is a simple, yet, beautiful prayer that reminds us that Jesus is here to help us in all things.  This is especially to remember on Fridays, the day when Jesus gave us our freedom and salvation through His Passion and Death.

Jesus, help me, your servant,
whom you redeemed by your precious blood.

In every need let me come to you with humble
trust saying,

-JESUS, HELP ME.

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

In hours of loneliness, weariness, and trial,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

In the failure of my plans and hopes,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

In disappointments, troubles, and sorrows,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

When I throw myself on Your tender love,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

When I feel impatient and my cross is heavy,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

When I am ill and my head and hands cannot do their work,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

Always, always, in your joys or sorrows, in falls
and shortcomings,
-JESUS, HELP ME.

-John A Hardin, SJ
