Yesterday we prayed the Act of Faith. Today we will pray the Act of Hope.

The Act of Hope isn’t, “Oh God, I hope this will happen.” or “I hope so!” This prayer is an acknowledgement of our need for God and our hope for His guidance and help.
This is the traditional version of the prayer:
“O my God, relying on Your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon for my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.”
Isn’t that a beautiful prayer?
