Prayer to the Blessed Mother
Blessed Mother, please intercede for us. Hold
the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful, mother and
love the weary, abused, neglected, or forgotten
among us. Give your aid to all needing help or
healing. Assist those who are sick, in pain, or
suffering.
Be with those needing peace, console the lonely
or brokenhearted. Comfort the lost or hopeless,
Guard the unborn, pray for those who are dying
or who have died, soften those with hardened
hearts.
Enlighten those who do not yet see truth. Help
us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger
go. Show us the way to do the right thing, protect
those who are in danger and guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance. Through
your Son, Christ Our Lord, amen.
Prayer for People With Chronic Pain
God of Compassion, You willingly took
n our human condition to experience
the same pain, suffering, and death that
we do.
Through Your Son’s resurrection, You
transformed suffering and death into
new life and glory; and invite us to join
our own pain and struggles to those
of Jesus.
Increase the faith and hope of all
who are suffering, especially those
living with chronic illness and pain.
Strengthen and confirm in them
the promise of new life and glory.
We pray this through the intercession
of Our Lady of Lourdes and in the name
of Your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen.
