For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost.

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.

It is proper to ask for sorrow with Christ in sorrow, anguish with Christ in anguish, tears and deep grief because of the great affliction Christ endures for me.
