Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes for the Mentally Ill
Loving God, You are always near us, especially
when we are weak, suffering, and vulnerable.
Reach out to those who have mental illness.
Lift their burdens, calm their anxiety, and quiet
their fears. Surround them with Your healing
presence so that they may know that they are not
alone. We ask 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.
Prayer for Those With Cancer
God of healing mercy, in Jesus, Your Son You
stretch out Your hand in compassion, restoring
the sinner, healing the sick, and lifting up those
bowed down. Embrace us now in Your loving care,
particularly those afflicted with cancer, for whom
this intention is offered. May you bring us all health
in soul and body, that with joy and thanksgiving
we may praise You for Your goodness, through
the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Prayer for Family Caregivers
Healer of souls and comforter of the weary,
help to lighten the burden of families who are
caring for their sick loved ones. Accompany
them on their journey and ease their anxiety
and fears. Surround them with the love and
strength of others, so they may experience the
healing presence of the communion of saints.
We ask 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.
