Dear Jesus,

 

Life is full of trials, is it not?  You yourself experienced many trials when you became Man.

 

You know my heart, Lord Jesus, and You know that I hate suffering of any kind.

 

You also know that I love You with all of my heart. I know that You are all loving, all wise, and all compassionate. I know deep inside myself that You will not allow any trial that You can not transform into something good. And so, I have this to offer.  With Your divine help, I will do my best to bear any trial that comes my way - today, this week and any time throughout my life.  I trust that You will give me the strength to bear all for a greater good. I just ask that You not leave me - even for one second - to bear these trials alone.

 

Strengthen me.  Use me. Unite any suffering that comes my way to Your divine suffering. Help me to be a true daughter of God, Most High.

 

I ask it in Your Most Holy and Loving Name.

 

Amen
