Praying that the Lord ease your pain and bring you closer to Him.
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:
Prayers and Intercessions
We rejoice in the Lord, from whom all good things come, and as we rejoice we sincerely pray:
Father and Lord of all, you sent your Son into the world so that everyone everywhere would give you glory:
make your Church an ever stronger witness among the nations.
Make us followers of the teaching of the Apostles
and firm believers in the truth.
You love justice:
give judgement in favour of those who suffer wrongs.
Break the fetters of captives, enlighten the eyes of the blind,
lift up those who are cast down, be the protection of strangers.
Fulfil the hopes of those who already sleep in peace:
through your Son, bring them to the final resurrection.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
O Lord, be merciful to your servants and give them yet more of the gifts of your grace.
On fire with faith, hope and love,
may they keep your commandments with unceasing watchfulness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
