Prayer For The Sick

For The Sick

Dear Lord, You bore our sufferings
 and carried our sorrows
 in order to show us clearly
 the value of human weakness and patience.
I now turn to You to ask You to heal
 the body and soul of [Name]
 I know, Lord, that sin tears away
 relationships between people and You
But there is no illness and no wound
 that You cannot heal.
Come and touch [Name]
 where he/she is most wounded and afflicted.

I believe in Your healing power and
 I trust and hope that You will hear my request
 for my sick brother/sister/family member/friend

If it is your will, however, that [Name]
 should carry this cross of illness
Then I humbly pray that you give him/her
 the strength and perseverance
 to bear his/her cross with love
Grant that he/she and all those
 who are now weighed down
 with pain and other afflictions
 may realize that they are
among the chosen ones
 whom you call blessed.

Help them to understand
 that they are united with you
in your sufferings
for the salvation of the world.

Amen.
