    Ajudá-nos a enxergar o sol,a alegria serena no dia triste.Refaz nossa força para seguir o caminho que Ele traçou …mas,sem os espinhos.Não podemos para ‘cumprir’_ não podemos nos ferir.Restaura nossa saúde.Restaura o nosso coração, a nossa mente.Abençoa-nos.Cobre-nos de Toda Proteção.Faz de Todos Nós uma Oração Poderosa.Rogai por nós.
    Amém.
