The patron saintSt. Thomas GarnetSoonFor steadfast faith
Heavenly Father, grant me the bravery I often lack the most. I seek strength to stand firm before others amid their threats and temptations. Provide me with the fortitude to endure unkindness, ridicule, and dissent. I require your resolve to battle against evil, facing fears, trials, and temptations, as well as the shadows and misleading lights that surround me, confronting sadness, despair, and, most importantly, fear. I ask for Your divine assistance, loving God. Empower me through Your grace and love. Comfort me with Your holy presence and bestow upon me the courage to endure until I am united with You eternally in heaven.
