SPES IN TRIBULATIONE

Domine, cum dolor corpus gravat
    Lord, when pain burdens the body
et longus fit dies,
    and the day grows long,
accipe verba mea simplicia,
    receive my simple words,
etiam si pauca sint.
    even if they are few.
Non semper intellego
    I do not always understand
cur via tam aspera sit;
    why the road is so rough;
sed inter dubitationes
    but amid doubts
praesentiam tuam quaero.
    I seek your presence.

Ne me cogas dolorem celare
    Do not force me to hide pain
sub vultu quieto.
    under a quiet face.
Da mihi libertatem dicendi
    Give me the freedom to speak
quando vires meae deficiunt.
    when my strength fails.
Doce me auxilium petere
    Teach me to ask for help
sine pudore et timore,
    without shame and fear,
et manum porrigere illis
    and to extend a hand to those
qui mecum viam difficilem pergunt.
    who walk the difficult road with me.

Cum nullam cernam viam apertam,
    When I see no open road,
gradum unum ostende mihi.
    show me a single step.
Cum mens mea nimium festinet,
    When my mind rushes too much,
ad horam praesentem revoca me.
    bring me back to the present hour.
Non totum pondus crastini
    Let me not try to carry all of tomorrow's weight
hodie portare coner;
    today;
satis sit fideliter vivere
    Let it be enough to live faithfully
in lumine quod nunc praebes.
    in the light you now provide.

Memento, Domine, infirmorum,
    Remember, Lord, the sick,
solorum atque lassorum.
    the lonely and the weary.
Memoria eorum cor meum
    May the memory of them keep my heart
a duritia custodiat.
    guarded from hardness.
Ne fiat dolor meus murus
    Let my pain not become a wall
qui me ab aliis separet;
    that separates me from others;
fac ut ex vulneribus meis
    grant that from my wounds
patientia et misericordia crescant.
    patience and mercy may grow.

Quod sanare non possum,
    What I cannot heal,
apud te humiliter depono.
    I humbly lay before you.
Quod mutare possum,
    What I can change,
fortitudine tua suscipiam.
    I will take up with your strength.
Cum nox iterum descendit
    When night falls again
et curae redeunt,
    and cares return,
da mihi quietem non fictam,
    grant me a calm that is not feigned,
sed pacem quae dolorem sustinet.
    but a peace that sustains suffering.
Et cum prima lux apparuerit,
    And when the first light appears,
da mihi novum initium:
    give me a new beginning:
unum verbum bonum dicere,
    to speak one good word,
unum opus rectum perficere,
    to accomplish one right deed,
unum hominem spe levare.
    to lift one person with hope.
Domine, permane mecum
    Lord, remain with me
in diebus facilibus et duris.

Dum vires redeunt aut languescunt,
    While strength returns or wanes,
in tua bonitate iter pergam.
    I will walk the path in your goodness.
Amen.
