Merciful Jesus, we believe in You and we trust in You. Come to the aid of our weakness and our incapacity. Grant that we may be able to make You known and loved by all and, confident in the immensity of Your love, we may be able to combat the evil which is in us and in all the world, for Your glory and our salvation. Amen.
