Virgin A Day #10

The Grasp Of Your Hand
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but
for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
but hope for the patience to win my freedom

   Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling
Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find
the grasp of Your hand in my failure.

from the book, The Heart of God selected andedited by Herbert F. Vetter. Charles E. Tuttle

  5. I think that these are two of the most inspirational statues of Our Lady that I have seen in a long time. Your prayer spoke to my heart in a very deep way. I truly appreciate your posting it. Thank you so much.
