A young person who was taken to Lourdes with a HCPT group wrote the following prayer. He is 20 years old.
Whenever I am troubled
Or lost in deep despair
I bundle all my troubles up
And go to bed in prayer.
I tell him I am heartsick
And lost and lonely too
That my heart is deeply burdened
And I don't know what to do.
I know he stilled the waters
And calmed the angry sea
And I humbly ask if in his love
He'll do the same for me.
And then I just keep quiet
And think only thoughts of peace
And if I abide in stillness
My troubled yearnings cease.
