No matter who we are, every
one carries some kind of a cross. Some are light. Some are heavy.
Those who are carrying a light cross can certainly reach out to
those who are carrying a heavier cross. Those who are carrying
the heavier cross can offer a prayer for those who are helping
you carry your cross.
Prayer of St. Therese of Lisieux
O my God,
I ask of you for myself
and for those whom I hold dear
the grace to fulfill perfectly
your holy will,
to accept for love of you
the joys and sufferings
of this passing life,
so that we may one day
be united in heaven
for all eternity.
Amen.
