At the Last Supper Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Eucharist.

Psalm 34: 18-21

When the just cry out the Lord hears them and from all their distress he rescues them

The Lord is close to the broken hearted
And those who are crushed in spirit he saves

Many are the troubles of the just man
But out of them all the Lord delivers him

He watches over all his bones

Not one of them shall be broken

1 Peter 5:8-9


Be calm and vigilant, because your enemy the devil is prowling round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to eat. Stand up to him, strong in faith.

I have been going through a time of darkness, a time of self pity.  The evil-one, the great deceiver is calling to me.  I must be strong and as St. Peter said, "Stand up to him, strong in faith."

Lord this I ask of You strength your Holy Spirit in me.
Consume me with your Love, fill me with your Holy Spirit. 
Give me the strength to do battle with the great deceiver.
Strength my resolve, increase my faith.
