Mark's Favorite Prayer;Heavenly Father, You are my refuge and my strength. When I feel weak, be my fortress; when I am weary, uplift my spirit. Pour out Your comforting presence upon me, filling every corner of my heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace. Grant me calm amid life’s storms and courage to face each day with faith and trust in Your providence. May Your love surround me and provide comfort in moments of doubt and fear. Holy Spirit, breath of life, guide me on the path of righteousness. Lead me towards the fullness of life You have promised, and bless me with Your abundant grace. Let my soul find rest in Your divine will, and my heart be filled with joy in the knowledge of Your unending mercy. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and all the saints, I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
