Dear Lord, the ever watchful Shepherd, lead, guide, and tend me this day; without Your restraining rod, I err and stray. Hedge up my path lest I wander into unwholesome pleasure, and drink its poisonous streams. Direct my feet that I am not entangled in Satan's secret snares, nor fall into his hidden traps.
Bless us all in our distress. Thank You for always looking with love and sympathy on us with burdens. Lighten our burden, I beseech You, if it is Your will.
Pour Your love into my heart, that I may love you above all things, and my neighbors as myself. Defend me from assailing foes, from evil circumstances, from myself. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
AMEN
