Grant Me perseverance, Lord!

Grant me, O Lord the grace of perseverance in every situation, in every predicament,

and in all bitter moments.

Let me be faithful even when forsaken,

abandoned and defeated.

Let me remain steadfast even when I see

everyone around me dozing off into the sleep of indifference,

or giving themselves over to the Concupiscence of earthly things to the point of madness.
