Prayer In Time of Distress Laminated Prayer Card

O Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the graces and blessings
You have bestowed upon mankind.

In Your love You have placed us here
to work out our eternal salvation,
and until life's journey is over,
many vicissitudes meet us on the way.

Today poverty and want prevail,
and we turn to You for help,
for all things are Yours
in heaven and on earth.

In these days of distress we pray You
to let Your blessing descend upon the
industries of the world, that man may
labor to obtain the means to procure
the needs and the necessities of life.

O Heavenly Father,
O Divine Provider, grant that
the sufferings and trials of the present
day may teach man to know,
love and serve You better. Amen.

Henry J. O'Leary.
Archbishop of Edmonton
