IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN


Lord Jesus Christ, I stand before You today with a humble heart, learning from Your holy servant, Saint Simon the Younger, to remain steadfast in faith and never retreat before the difficulties of life


Lord, as Saint Simon stood firm, help me also to stand upon the rock of Your Word

May the winds not shake me, may trials not bring me down, and may suffering never separate me from Your love


Give me a faith that does not fear, a hope that never despairs, a heart that loves You in joy and in hardship, and a soul that remains faithful to You in every circumstance


Saint Simon, you who lifted your heart toward Heaven, pray for us


Ask the Lord to grant us the grace of perseverance, so that we may remain close to Christ and make our lives a continual prayerand a witness to His love


Lord, when I am weak, strengthen me


When I am afraid, encourage me


When I fall, raise me up


When I lose my way, bring me back to Your path


And let me say every day, whatever my circumstances may be


You are the rock of my faith, You are my hope, You are my strength, and You are my refuge


Through the intercession of Saint Simon the Younger, Lord, keep us steadfast in Your love and make us faithful to You until the end



.AMEN
