Prayers
For Those Who Request Prayer
I am quite sure that all of your suffering and patience is working miracles; God is quite surely watching, measuring, even allowing, every pang, every moment of fatigue, anxiety and distress, and suddenly it will all be given back to you in full measure, but changed into joy. You must try never to forget that God would not allow you to suffer the least faction that He did not know to be not merely the best way to your ultimate joy, but the essential condition of it, and the only way to it.
The Letter of Caryll Houselander
To Mrs. Boardman, 17 September 1952

For Those Who Offer to Pray for Others
A prayer may be a wordless inner longing, a sudden outpouring of love, a yearning within the soul to be for a moment united with the infinite and the good, a humbleness that needs no abasement in speech to express it, a cry in the darkness for help when all seems lost, a song, a poem, a kind deed, a reaching for beauty, or the strong, quiet inner reaffirmation of faith. A prayer in fact can be anything that is created of God that turns to God.
From the novel, Ludmila, by Paul Gallico
For Those Who Visit the Site
Thank you for visiting Servant Rosaries. I am awed that a pre-dawn, fleeting idea that I dared to pursue has actually come to life, and am I profoundly moved by the love and support that I have received along the way. I hope that Servant Rosaries will inspire you to pray, to hope, and to persevere.
May the peace and consolation of God be with us this day and forever.
