PRAYER

Dear God, in the battle that goes on in life,

I ask for a field that is fair.

A chance that is equal in all of the strife,

A chance to do and to dare.

And if I should win, let it be by the code,

With my heart and my honour held high;

But if I should lose, let me stand by the road,

And cheer as the winners pass by.


 PALLOTTINE PRAYER

Jesus, stripped and scourged,

slapped and derided, crowned with thorns

and greeted with derision, spat upon, struck,

insulted and ridiculed, have mercy on us.

Jesus, laden with the cross of our sins

And the curses of the multitudes,

Nailed to an infamous tree between two thieves,

Wearied with insults and humiliations,

Mortified and dishonoured before men,

Have mercy on us.

St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us.
