Most Kind Christ

Oh Most Kind Christ,

Draw us weaklings after Yourself.
For unless You draw us, we cannot follow You.
Give us a courageous Spirit, that we may be ready.
And if the flesh is weak, may Your grace go beforth.

For without You we can do nothing.

And particularly not go to a cruel death for Your sake.
Give us a valiant Spirit, a fearless heart, a right faith, a firm hope, a perfect love.
That we may offer our lives for Your sake, with the greatest patience and joy.

Amen.
