O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of adversities and floods of despair.

O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of falsehood and treason.

O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of the darkness and godlessness which inundate the earth.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when the burdens are beyond my strength and I find my efforts are fruitless.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when storms toss my heart about and my fearful spirit tends to despair.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when my heart is about to tremble and mortal sweat moistens my brow.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when everything conspires against me and black despair creeps into my soul.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when my eyes will begin to grow dim to all temporal things and, for the first time, my spirit will behold the unknown worlds.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when my tasks will be beyond my strength and adversity will become my daily lot.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when the practice of virtue will appear difficult for me and my nature will grow rebellious.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when hostile blows will be aimed against me.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when my toils and efforts will be misjudged by others.

O Blessed Host, I trust in you when your judgments will resound over me; it is then that I will trust in the sea of your mercy.

Amen.
