This is very beautiful. Every time I come across it, I want to stop whatever I’m doing, be silent, still & pray.

I’ve been having a bad day, well really a bad two days, where I’m just annoyed/frustrated/upset by everything and even after the person or action is gone I can’t stop dwelling on it and being angry, which just makes me upset with myself. I just saw this and teared up. I think it’s seeing the hands grasping so tightly that got to me. In an instant I went from being upset to just fine.

I guess the short prayer I said 30 minutes ago to Our Lord, Our Lady, and St. Rose (my Confirmation saint so I just have her pray for me for the most random things) was answered.

So thank you @Rob2.

Thanks @RoseScented .

I’m pleased it helped .

I have just looked up this prayer for myself because I’m feeling a lot in the dark , angry about a certain person , in fact negative about a lot of people . I feel a powerful angry attitude within myself towards others . It’s not a good place to be in .

The prayer was given to me by a friend who is a nun when God seemed so far away from me . It’s a prayer of St Ignatius of Loyola .

I post it . It may help you or others .

O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.
