Stay with me, Lord, for I need Your presence so as not to forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I am weak, and I need Your strength so that I do not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You I lose my fervour.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I may hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and to be always with You.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close. Life passes, and death, judgement and eternity draw near. I need to gather strength so as not to stop along the way — and for that I need You. It is getting late, and death approaches. I fear the darkness, temptations, dryness of spirit, the cross and sorrow. Oh, how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus: in life, with all its dangers, I need You.
Let me recognise You as Your disciples recognised You in the breaking of the bread, so that Holy Communion may be the light that drives away the darkness, the strength that sustains me, and the one joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, for at the hour of my death I want to remain united with You — if not through Communion, then at least through grace and love.
Stay with me, Jesus. I do not ask for divine consolations, because I do not deserve them, but for the gift of Your presence — oh yes, this I ask of You!
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I seek: Your love, Your grace, Your will, Your Heart, Your Spirit. I love You and ask for no other reward than to love You more and more.
With a firm love I will love You with all my heart here on earth, and I will love You perfectly for all eternity. Amen.
