Hope
A Hope-Filled Prayer
O sweetest Lord Jesus Christ, may my soul ever yearn
Towards Thee:
May my soul seek Thee, find Thee, tend
Towards attainment of Thee,
Ever meditate on Thee,
And do all things to the praise and glory of
Thy Holy Name.
Do Thou alone be my hope,
My whole trust,
My delight,
My joy,
My rest,
My peace and my sweet contentment.
Do Thou alone be my refuge and my help,
My wisdom and my possession,
My treasure in whom my heart and
my soul remain fixed immovably,
Forever.
Amen
St. Bonaventure
For Reflection:
I will pray this prayer from my heart, uniting myself to Jesus Christ my Lord, confident in the mercy of the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit.
