Dear Jesus, lay your Wounded hand. Upon my weary head, and teach me to have courage in the paths that I must tread. Bless me, and bless those whom I love, and give us grace to see. These crosses bravely borne by us. Will keep us close to Thee, and if at times a shadow falls in unexpected ways, Put your gentle hand in mine and guide me through the days. So bless my people, one and all and impart to them thy Wisdom. Ere they meet Thee face to face.
God Bless you all.
