Prayer of St. Francis de Sales – Be at Peace
Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life; rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise, God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same understanding Father who cares for you todaywill take care of you then and every day.

He will either shield you from sufferingor will give you unfailing strength to bear it.Be at peace, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.

Prayer of St. Francis de Sales to Blessed Virgin Mary

O Blessed Virgin, dear mother of mine, I salute you, and revere you with all my heart. Mother of Mercy, pray for me. Queen of Heaven, I commend my soul to you. O my tender Mother, obtain that I may be loved by your Son. Sweet hope with Jesus, sweet refuge of sinners, I throw myself at your feet. Cause me to experience the effect of the power which you possess with the Holy Trinity, O glorious Virgin Mary. Amen

Prayer to St. Francis de Sales for special Need

Say not, merciful Virgin, that you cannot help me; for your beloved Son has given you all power in heaven and on earth. Say not that you ought not assist me, for you are the mother of all the poor children of Adam, and mine in particular. Since then, merciful Virgin, you are my mother and you are all-powerful, what excuse can you offer if you do not lend your assistance? See. my mother, see, you are obliged to grant me what I ask, and to yield to my entreaties.

St. Francis de Sales’s an act of Abandonment

O my God, I thank you and I praiseyou for accomplishing your holyand all-lovable will without any regard for mine.With my whole heart,in spite of my heart,do I receive this cross I feared so much!

It is the cross of Your choice,the cross of Your love.I venerate it;nor for anything in the worldwould I wish that it had not come,since You willed it.
I keep it with gratitude and with joy,as I do everything that comes from Your hand;and I shall strive to carry it without letting it drag,with all the respectand all the affection which Your works deserve. Amen.

St. Francis de Sales’s direction of Intention

My God, I give you this day. I offer you, now, all of the good that I shall do and I promise to accept, for love of you, all of the difficulty that I shall meet. Help me to conduct myself during this day in a manner pleasing to you. Amen.

Prayer of St. Francis de Sales

Lord, I am yours, and I must belong to no one but you. My soul is yours,and must live only by you. My will is yours,and must love only for you. I must love you as my first cause, since I am from you.I must love you as my end and rest, since I am for you. I must love you more than my own being, since my being subsists by you. I must love you more than myself, since I am all yours and all in you. AMEN.
