It’s wonderful after illness
to feel your strength returning
to feel your old self again,
to start getting on top of things.
But it takes time and patience,
just getting back into a routine,
into the swing of things
can seem like a mountain to climb,
a challenge too far.
Lord, help me grow strong again,
help me each step of the way
so that taking one step at a time,
with Your help I will come out on top.
Amen.
— By a Columban Fr. Patrick Sayles
