Our Prayer…

Even in anguish and grief

Is made to the Father

Asking for what we desire

Then we surrender to the wisdom of His will

Even in anguish and grief, He prayed

“He began to be very distressed and troubled".

(Mt. 26:37; Mk 14:33)

your Father who is in heaven (will) give what is good

to those who ask Him! (Mt. 7:11)
