Prayer Card:  Prayer of a Teenager, by Father Angelus Shaughnessy, O.F.M. Cap.  The following prayer appears on the reverse side of this prayer card:

Lord, I need Your help. Sometimes my parents don't seem to understand me. Often enough I do not understand myself. Temptations can be very strong and enticing especially when my friends are trying to pull me away from You. I know I have a lot of growing up and maturing to experience before I am prepared to meet the responsibilities involved in a life-long commitment.

Show me how to avoid the pitfalls of drugs and smoking and alcohol, pornography and promiscuity and immodesty, laziness and loneliness and despair that have ruined the lives of so many my age around me.

Help me to appreciate more my parents and their love for me. May I accept the guidance of my teachers and mentors. Keep me close to the Church, faithful in my prayerlife, and regular in my reception of the sacraments of Confession and Holy Communion.

May my choice of friends be the ones You would want me to have. I want to develop my talents to live up to Your expectations of me and thus receive Your blessings forever. I need nothing more. I ask for nothing else. You are my enough. Amen.
