Day 5
The people watching
Long trouble is rarely private. Someone is watching how you carry this: a child, a spouse, a colleague, a parent. They are learning from you what a person does when things do not resolve.
That is not a burden to add to the pile. It is a reason to ask for something beyond the outcome, because whatever happens, they will remember how you were while it was happening.
Begin
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Today’s petition
St. Jude, pray that the people watching me through this learn something worth learning.
Add your own intention here, in your own words. It is not stored anywhere.
Close
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
