A NUN’S RX FOR THE WEARY SOUL

This litany was composed by a nun affiliated with the Sisters of Life based in New York City. She was inspired by the many conversations she has had in the streets with strangers who find in her a gentle spirit able to understand the words hidden deep in their souls. We thank the Archdiocese of Baltimore for posting this on their blog.

From the fear that I am unlovable … Deliver me, Jesus.

From the belief that my life has no meaning or worth … Deliver me, Jesus.
