Prayer for the Sick

This is one of my favorite prayers for healing.  I write it today for a dear friend and former classmate.

O my God,

behold your sick child before you.

Heed her special request,

that which she feels is most important for her.

May you, my Lord, entrust to her heart these words: "The health of the soul, too, is vital."

Lord, may your will be done in her;

if you choose her healing, may she be cured;

if you choose another blessing,

may she bear her cross with love.

I also pray to you

for all who intercede for her.

Purify our hearts

that we may worthily convey

your holy mercy.

Protect your child, relieve her pain,

that your will may be done in her,

and that your presence and love

may be revealed through her.

Grant her the grace

to bear her cross with courage.  Amen.

DeaHector,
Please pray for my friend Patricia of Palm Coast Florida who has stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to her lungs. I beg you to pray to God and Jesus to heal my Patricia.
Thank you very much,
Anthony
