Father in heaven, I stand before You today in Your omnipotent presence to ask that You grant me strength. I want You to give me the strength to power through all of the tasks today, whether little or big. It is by Your will that I live oh Lord and I know it is also by Your will I will not go weak today. I will not go lazy nor will I fail to do all things set before me because You strengthen me. Thank you for Your everlasting presence Lord and in Jesus name, I pray. Amen

No le tengas miedo a esa enfermedad, ni a ninguna otra enfermedad o angustia. ¿No es-toy aquí acaso, quien es tu Ma-dre? ¿No estás bajo mi protec-ción? ¿No soy tu salud? ¿No eres feliz en mi redil? ¿Qué más deseas? No sufras ni te inquietes por nada”. —Palabras de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe a San Juan Diego, 1531
