Prayer for the month of January

O Divine Jesus, Thou hast promised that anything we ask of the Eternal Father in Thy name shall be granted. 
O Eternal Father, In the name of Jesus, for the love of Jesus, in fulfillment of this promise, and because Jesus has said it, grant us our petitions for the sake of Jesus, Thy Divine Son.
Amen

Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.
