O Lord, make haste and illumine the night.
Say to my soul
that nothing
happens without Your permitting it, and that nothing
of what You permit is without comfort.
O Jesus, Son of
God,
You Who were
silent in the presence of Your accusers, restrain my
tongue until I find
what I should say and how to say it.
Show me the way
and make me ready to follow it.
Answer my
petition and show me the way.
I come to You as
the wounded go to the doctor in search of aid.
Give peace, O
Lord, to my heart.
