A prayer for one in pain

A prayer to Jesus, the Pain-bearer who holds me in eternal life

One who experiences pain

In the remaining Fridays of Lent 2017 let us be mindful of those who experience acute or chronic pain. If you experience either acute or chronic pain, this prayer may be for you. ~Fr. Dan

Lord Jesus Christ, by your patience in suffering you hallowed earthly pain and gave us the example of obedience to your Father’s will: Be near me in my time of weakness and pain; sustain me by your grace, that my strength and courage may not fail; heal me according to you will; and help me always to believe that what happens to me here is of little account if you hold me in eternal life, my Lord and my God. Amen.
