Behold me, my beloved Jesus, weighed down under the burden of my trials and sufferings I cast myself at Thy feet that Thou mayest renew my courage and my strength while I rest here in thy Presence. Permit me to lay down my cross in Thy Sacred Heart, for only Thy infinite goodness can sustain me, only Thy Iove help me to bear my cross, only Thy powerful hand lighten its weight.
O my divine King Jesus, whose heart is so compassionate to the afflicted. I wish to live in Thee, and die invoking Thee. Be to me, during my life, my model and my support; at the hour of my death be my hope and my refuge.

AMEN. +++
What a beautiful prayer! But please tell me the author -- I don't understand the citation.
This is a prayer card from my Grandmother's bible, who is originally from Montreal. The imprimatur reference is for Bishop Anastase Forget.

Oh, what a wonderful man!
I've copied out the prayer for my own daily use. Your Grandmother's bible is such a precious treasure to have!
Mimiere was so amazing, and yes, her bible is so special. I am so thankful for God's gift of faith, and for my grandparents and parents who showed me how to live my faith.
