133. For Conformity to the Divine Will.

Ant. Let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Teach me Thy ways, Lord: And I will walk in Thy paths.

O GOD, have mercy upon Thy suffering servant [...]. Give him such grace that he may not repine by reason of the weakness of the flesh, but rather, rejoicing in Thy most holy will, whatever it be, may persevere in faithful submission, however long Thou shalt be pleased to afflict him. Grant that in the surrender of his own will he may find the blessedness of a life really devoted to Thee, and, being sanctified by the acceptance of Thy will as the law of his life, may attain to the perfect exercise of Thine in dwelling grace, and to the fruition of Thy blessedness, in the unity of the Holy Ghost; through the merits and mediation of Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
