Through the merits of Christ my Sav-
for, O God, help me to meet the responsibilities
that my Faith imposes on me.
DOUBT not Christ's power to bring you
through any difficulties. He has showed
you the way. He gave up the home of
His mother Mary to "be about His Father's business" (Lk 2:49). Now He but bids you
take up after Him the Cross which He bore for
you.
Be not afraid. He is most gracious and will
bring you on by little and little.
