February Family of Parishes Prayer
The memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, February 11, is designated as a World Day of Prayer of the Sick. We all have loved ones who suffer from illness, and we suffer illness from time to time. It is always good to pray for our sick!
Here is a prayer you can pray and petitions that could be used at Mass.
Prayer:
Loving and Merciful God, on this day of prayer, we lift before You all who are burdened by illness in body, mind or spirit. Grant them comfort in their pain, courage in their struggle , an hope in heir hearts. Bless the hands and hearts of all who care for the sick - doctors, nurses, caregivers, and loved ones - that they may be instruments of Your healing and compassion. Surround the suffering with Your pace, and remind them that they are never alone, for You walk beside them in every moment. May Your light shine through the darkness of sickness, bringing strength, renewal and promise of wholeness. Amen.
Intentions:
That the Church may continue Christ's healing ministry with compassion, let us pray to the Lord.
For all healthcare workers and medical professionals, let us pray to the Lord.
For those suffering from chronic illness and pain, let us pray to the Lord.
For those unable to afford proper medical care, let us pray to the Lord.
For researchers working to cure diseases, let us pray to the Lord.
