Prayers for healing - immediate need

Catholic Living Prayer Intentions
#1

My best friend’s husband just fell off a ladder when trimming a tree this evening. Once he fell to the ground, the heavy branch also came down and fell on his head.

Consequently, he broke his pelvis, shoulder, and leg. :frowning: He had a CT scan, and they said his head appeared to be ok (Praise God!!). However, he is refusing to see anyone … including my best friend - his wife, and we do not know why :frowning: This accident is bad enough, but now with her not being able to see or talk to him, this is just killing her.

He has surgery tomorrow on his pelvis, shoulder, and leg. Any prayers for his physical healing would be GREATLY appreciated!

I’m also reaching out because any prayers for his, and my friend’s spiritual healing would be GREATLY appreciated as well. My friend has been baptized, sacramentalized, and raised Catholic, but she has not discovered her personal relationship with Jesus and has bought into much of what our culture has “taught us about life.” Her husband was raised in a very Evangelical household whose hypocritical ways has turned him away from God on various levels.

I prayed today for his Guardian Angels to watch over and protect him, and also that the Holy Spirit is able to take this suffering and turn it into a beautiful time of surrender for both of them and even their children.

I know there are so many wonderful prayer warriors on this forum! Thank you so much - in advance - for your prayers. Thank you, and I will say a special prayer for all of you this evening as well!!

God bless,
Michele

Lord, look upon this injured man with eyes of mercy. May your healing hand rest upon him, soothing his pain. May your life-giving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength for service in your Kingdom. Grant strength also to his wife. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Oh my goodness … thank you so much for these prayers! You all are amazing!

A quick update: He finally let her see him last night around 12:30 or so (Eastern Standard Time). I’m heading over to the hospital this morning to be with them for his surgery. I’m getting there around 7, but it looks like the surgery may be at 10.

Prayers for the doctors and nurses during his surgery, and prayers that the Holy Spirit can use me to show them the peace that Christ will bring to them during this time of suffering.

Ironically, they had a trip planned for Europe that they were supposed to leave for in a couple of weeks. Today is the feast day of St. Bridget - Patron Saint of Europe. St. Bridget, pray for them … allow them to mediate on the Passion of Christ so they return home to the Church. Mary, are most Blessed Mother, teach them to pray and lead them to your Son.

God bless,
Michele

Once again … THANK YOU! He just got out of surgery #1 and will have surgery #2 either tomorrow or Monday.

Your prayers are working … and after spending time with my friend at the hospital today, we talked about the blessings God has been working on … and this was her latest facebook post:

“Update on Mark. Surgery went very well. His pelvis was broke in both the back and front on both sides and across the front. They repaired it with a metal plate across the front and has 2 pins in the right and 1 in the left. They were unable to operate on his shoulder because its dislocated and broken in multiple places …so that will be tomorrow or Monday. Likely 2-3 months in a wheelchair followed by rehab. Won’t have use of his arm, so that will slow everything down. Prayers are working.”

Notice the “Prayers are working” comment!! Thank you, everyone!

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen

My prayers for your friend’s healing and his whole family. Hopefully they are doing great by now. Also prayers to Our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for sending you a Guardian Angel who has kept you. . . . .

Original Prayer to St. Michael

:signofcross:
***“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging
against the principalities and powers,
against the rulers of this world of darkness,
against the evil spirits.
Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal,
…*made in His own image and likeness,
…and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

“Fight this day the battle of the Lord,
together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the
…proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless
…to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven.
That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces
…the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels.
Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage.
Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the
…multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order
…to blot out the name of God and of His Christ,
…to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined
…for the crown of eternal glory.
This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood,
the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart,
the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity,
…and of every vice and iniquity.

“These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness
…the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb,
…and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions.
In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has
…been set up as the light of the world,
…they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety,
…with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep
…may be scattered.

“Arise then, O invincible Prince,
bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God,
…and give them the victory.
They venerate thee as their protector and patron;
…in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the
…malicious power of hell;
to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude.
Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet,
…so far conquered that he may no
…longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church.
Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High,
…so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord;
and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan,
…do thou again make him captive in the abyss,
…that he may no longer seduce the nations.
Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.
V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
R. As we have hoped in Thee.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls.
Amen.”

Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,

Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Thank you again for all your prayers!

His healing is coming along … slowly, but surely! He is also experiencing some pain in his personal life (his brothers and parents) and starting to have his eyes opened to some things he would rather have them closed to. …but we know the Lord is working and will always bring a greater good through all things!

THANK YOU!
God bless!
