Jesus, I trust in You.
What is the Litany of Trust?
The Litany of Trust is a powerful prayer composed by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, Sister of Life. In this prayer, we are asking Jesus to deliver us from the things that hold us back and hold us bound. Through this prayer, we release the shackles of fear and doubt, and replace them instead with total trust in His promises. It is only through surrender to Jesus Christ that we will find true freedom, joy and peace in life.

Ending Prayer
“Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen” – Sr. Faustina (Diary entry 950).
