Grant, O Lord, that I may join myself to Your will; that though I am sick, I may glorify You in my sickness. Without suffering, I cannot enter into glory; nor did You, my redeemer, attain glory without suffering.
And, since nothing is pleasing to God the Father unless it is offered through You, I unite my will with Yours, my pain with the pain You suffered. Let my suffering become Your suffering; unite me with Yourself, fill me with Your grace, and with Your Holy Spirit.
Enter into my heart, into my soul, into my suffering. Even though I have had so small a share in Your suffering, fill me entirely with the glory which You have won. Finally, let me enter into the glory in which You live with the Father and the Holy Spirit for all eternity.
