Prayer of a Laborer to Jesus Christ

Jesus, in this evening hour I desire to be alone with You. I know: Your heart is full of mercy and love toward me, Your hands are open to bestow upon me Your blessings. You are ready to hear me at every moment. You said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” I run to You, Jesus, and seek comfort in You. Here, in a foreign land, far from my family, console me, Lord. Visit my soul. You, who wish to strengthen my strength, to disperse the clouds of sorrow, to fulfill my good desires, to quench the thirst of my soul, hear my prayer.

In this moment I ask You to unite me with my family in a spiritual way. Do not allow our mutual love, fidelity and respect to fade, but rather let them grow. Help us to pass through this time of trial and draw near the time of our reunion. I thank You for the opportunity to work. May it be for me not only for material enrichment, but above all for Your glory and for the joy of people. I offer to You, Jesus, the difficulties of this day and accept all that You permit from Your Holy love to me. I believe, Jesus, that whenever and always I am with You, then each day of my earthly life will ultimately become heaven. Amen.
