Prayer in Time of Distress

Sweet Jesus, hold me to your breast
as a mother guards her infant.

Gentle Jesus, cradle me
as a father soothes a night-terrored child.

Beloved Jesus, stretch out your hand to me,
as once you reached to Peter.

Sweet Deliverer, gentle Refuge, beloved Lord,
preserve me from danger, harm, and evil.
