Prayer of Resignation in Suffering

Merciful Lord of life, I lift up my heart to You in my suffering and ask
for Your comforting help. I know that You would withhold the thorns
of this life if I could attain eternal life without them. So I throw myself
on Your mercy, resigning myself to this suffering. Grant me the grace
to bear it and to offer it in union with Your sufferings. No matter what
suffering may come my way, let me trust in You. Amen.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most
gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our
exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O Clement,
O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary

Pray for us O Holy Mother of God,

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ
Amen.
 
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
 
Jesus sometimes our suffering for others, and the sufferings we feel at our imperfections, and our sadness when Your answers to our prayers seem hidden we sometimes feel overwhelmed

Suffering servant of God

Dear Jesus, as Suffering Servant [Isaiah 52-53] You accepted all human weakness and struggle in atonement for human sin. You obtained redemption for all who choose Your ways.

With You, I accept the gifts and burdens of my humanity for the sake of others’ salvation. While I endure my faults and life’s difficulties, accepting them as opportunities to grow in love and wisdom, I ask that through Your mercy I never actually sin against You or other people.

Suffering Servant of God, united with You, I offer the heartaches, failures and misfortunes of others’ lives and mine. Your life in me is my real self that desires and moves towards goodness and others’ welfare. Where we can only experience grief or depression before traumatic and distressing occurrences, empower us with trust in You.

Please grant me confidence in Your merciful action even when all seems hopeless, so that like You, I will obtain numerous conversions in blessing for my life lived in service of You and others.

Jesus, even when I feel devastated or despondent, I desire to pray and try to assist others. Help me to accept humbly, without surprise or disappointment that I seem imperfect and unfruitful, and that life seems dark and gloomy.

Let me live Your dream of me regardless. Let me be the treasure You created me to be, for You and for anyone in my life. Please delight Yourself in me and fulfil Your will in my life despite my inadequacies and trials.

“A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.” (Saint John of the Cross)

“*Do not say, “God will consider the number of my gifts.” *[Ecclesiasticus 7:9]

“*Offer to God the sacrifice of never gathering any fruit. If He wills that throughout your whole life, you should feel a repugnance to suffering and humiliation—if He permits that all the flowers of your desires and of your good will should fall to the ground without any fruit appearing, do not worry. At the hour of death He will cause fruits to ripen on the tree of your soul.” *(Saint Therese quoted by Celine in ‘Counsels and Reminiscences’)

For those whose suffering seems endless, on 2/23, the Commemoration of Saint Polycarp, Apostolic Father of the Church~
“Leave me as I am.
The One who gives me the strength to endure the fire
will also give me strength to stay quite still on the pyre,
even without the precaution of your nails.”

*~ Saint Polycarp of Smyrna *
born: 69 martyred: 155

Saint Polycarp, Disciple of John, Apostolic Father,
Bishop & Martyr, pray for us.
  • In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
 
Do not look forward to what may happen
tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares
for you today will take care of you tomorrow and
every day. Either He will shield you from suffering,
or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and
imaginations, and say continually: “The Lord is my
strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him
and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me,
and I in Him.”

St. Francis de Sales
