Today is the Feast of St Ignatius Loyola. To learn more about his life and a reflection on the life of St Ignatius and encouragement to focus on the good things in our lives.
Today's prayer is one for when we feel depressed. We remember those who suffer from depression that they may find the presence of the Lord a comfort to them. St Ignatius Loyola's prayer for depression O Christ Jesus When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.
