Prayer for Today (courtesy of Catholic Daily Reflections)
My merciful Lord, You allow me to endure the effects of sin and the frailty of my fallen human nature, not as punishment, but as an invitation to deepen my faith and hope in You. In moments of affliction, grant me the grace to turn to You with trust, believing in Your power to transform all things into good and to reveal Your eternal glory. Jesus, I trust in You.
