Despite my many and ceaseless supplications, I can find no answer, O Lord, and my heart is too tired to go on. I feel unworthy even to gather up the crumbs under Your table, and from all sides I find nothing but discouragement. But knowing that You save those who invoke Your Name, O Jesus, and trusting that You will give ear to the words of my mouth, I bow down before You, saying:
Jesus, welcomer of strangers!
Jesus, boast of the saints!
Jesus, save me as I chant Your Name with love!
Jesus, vindicate me as I cling to Your mercy with faith!
Jesus, pardoner of my many offenses!
Jesus, healer of my sinful heart!
Jesus, feeder of children!
Jesus, feast of the poor!
Jesus, King who gives strength to the wear!
Jesus, Master who grants delivery to the oppressed!
Jesus, destroyer of demons!
Jesus, song of the angels!
Jesus, light to those in darkness, glory to You!
