Thou thousands fall at our left and right, Lord Almighty, preserve us as a witness to the nations of Your providential love. Enlighten us to Your history of hope; enliven us to act in faith; and most of all, suffuse us with charity for You in praise, thanks, glory and honor for You, loving our neighbor as ourselves for love of You. “Trust in God and fear nothing.” St. Teresa of Avila, bring us your stamina, and loose God’s wellspring of intimacy that we may never suffer the spiritual dryness that can afflict the elect. Vanquish the satanic, cleanse the abased, and uplift us to God. AMEN
