Prayer for those who many feel that they are having a wilderness experience.
Loving God,
We remember the trying time that Jesus spent in the wilderness but never gave up.
We know that you are with us in good times and in difficult times,
Even when we cant feel you near, we know that you are there.
Help us to recognise your presence and to draw strength from it.
Be with us during these testing and trying times .
Amen.
Prayer for Spiritual Communion.
Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ. For all the benefits that you have given to me. Since I am not able for the moment to receive you sacramentally, I ask that you come spiritually into my heart. O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother, may I know you more clearly, love you more dearly and follow you more nearly day by day. Amen
