"Courage to Believe"

​

I pray that I may be as bold in my beliefs as you, St. Joan.

 

I ask that you ride alongside me in my own battles and struggles in life.

 

In the face of your enemies, In the face of harassment, ridicule, and doubt

 

You held firm in your faith.

 

In your abandonment, Alone and without friends,

 

You held firm in your faith.

 

As you faced your own mortality,

 

You held firm in your faith.

 

Help me be mindful:What is worthwhile can be achieved when I persist.

 

Help me to hold firm in my faith.

 

Help me to have the Courage to Believe.

 

Amen.
