A Prayer for Times of Darkness by St. Ignatius

O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness  

and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength.  

Help us to have perfect trust  

in Your protecting love  

and strengthening power,  

so that nothing may frighten or worry us,  

for, living close to You,  

we shall see Your hand,  

Your purpose, Your will through all things.  

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola
