Where there is hatred, let me sow love;<br />
Where there is injury, pardon;<br />

Where there is doubt, the faith;<br />
Where there is despair, hope;<br />
Where there is darkness, light;<br />
And where there is sadness, joy.<br />
<br />
O Divine Master,<br />
Grant that I may not so much seek<br />
To be consoled, as to console;<br />
To be understood, as to understand;<br />
To be loved as to love.<br />
<br />
For it is in giving that we receive;<br />
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;<br />
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.<br />

We lift up to You our grief and sorrow,<br />
confident that You will change our mourning to rejoicing,<br />
that our beloved (name of person)<br />
now rests in Your peace.<br />

<br />
Dear Lord, You bore our sufferings<br />
and carried our sorrows<br />
in order to show us clearly<br />
the value of human weakness and patience.<br />
I now turn to You to ask You to heal<br />
the body and soul of [Name]<br />
I know, Lord, that sin tears away<br />
relationships between people and You<br />
But there is no illness and no wound<br />
that You cannot heal.<br />
Come and touch [Name]<br />
where he/she is most wounded and afflicted.<br />
<br />
I believe in Your healing power and<br />
I trust and hope that You will hear my request<br />
for my sick brother/sister/family member/friend<br />
<br />
If it is your will, however, that [Name]<br />
should carry this cross of illness<br />
Then I humbly pray that you give him/her<br />
the strength and perseverance<br />
to bear his/her cross with love<br />
Grant that he/she and all those<br />
who are now weighed down<br />
with pain and other afflictions<br />
may realize that they are<br />
among the chosen ones<br />
whom you call blessed.<br />
<br />
Help them to understand<br />
that they are united with you<br />
in your sufferings<br />
for the salvation of the world.<br />
<br />
Amen.<br />
