Prayer for Physical Healing
Lord, I come before you trusting in your mercy and love.
I come before you with faith in your promise that you shall
grant whatever we ask for in prayer if it will be what is best for our souls.
Lord, I ask you to heal J. of pneumonia.
Touch her now in the areas of her body that need most of your healing love.
Let the warmth of your healing love penetrate every cell,
every nerve and tissue in her sick body.
Replace these sick cells with new and healthy cells.
Cast out anything that should not be in her.
Cleanse all infections, remove all inflammations,
open any blocked arteries and veins and rebuild all damaged areas.
Strengthen her body, her mind, emotions and spirit and with that
same power by which you created her, heal her and recreate her, Lord.
Restore her to full health in body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Give her the grace to accept this pain and suffering with patient resignation
to your most Holy will and plan for her life.
Have mercy on her and forgive her sins.
Let her find peace amidst her suffering and offer it for the salvation of souls.
With eyes of faith, let her see the blessings out of this physical sickness.
And after she has been healed, may she be a witness of your healing
love and power and serve you for the rest of her life.
In Jesus’ name I pray, through Mary and all the angels and saints.
Amen.
Mother Angelica’s Prayer for a Lost Baby
My Lord, the baby is dead!
Why, my Lord—dare I ask why? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face—it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise. Why, my Lord?
“Why, My child—do you ask ‘why’? Well, I will tell you why.
You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty—he sees My face. He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”
I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool—forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity.
Husband’s prayer for sick wife
Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth, you live now in eternal unity with Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician. I confidently ask for your powerful intercession on behalf of my beloved spouse, who seeks to be restored to good health.
The years we have shared together, and the love we have known in our marriage, are precious and dear to me. At this time my heart breaks in my helplessness, but I believe that with the Lord all things are possible.
Mary, loving spouse of St. Joseph, comfort me in my fears and worries, and obtain blessings for my beloved spouse so that she may be quickly and completely restored to health. Amen.
