For the Associate her/himself
Father in heaven,
in the work of redemption,
you have chosen many people to help you
in a special way by devoting their lives
to the service of others. Among these are
the Sisters of Mercy and their Associates
Permit me, under the guidance of our Mother of Mercy
to share in this great work, at least by my prayers
that their efforts may be blessed
and that many generous souls may join them
in their work to spread your Kingdom of Mercy and Love
throughout the world.
I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Daily Prayer
O my most compassionate Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

even for one moment.
