With you is the fountain of life, O Lord.

HEART OF JESUS, FOUNTAIN OF LIFE AND HOLINESS,

HAVE MERCY ON US.

Jesus has these words for His disciples: Blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear (Mt 13:16). Jesus Christ, source of life and light, help us to keep our eyes and ears open for your presence among and around us, for with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light. Keep up your mercy toward your friends, and your just defense of the upright of heart (Ps 36). I believe, help my unbelief.

SAINT BRIDGET OF SWEDEN,

PRAY FOR US.
