UPDATE
My dear friends , I have just been contacted by Lorraine after an absence of some 8 or so months .Sadly she has been recovering from a long period of illness , and has been hospitalised , I am very pleased to report that she is making a good recovery, and is now living in assisted accommodation .She has just been visited by her former parish priest who has in the past proved a very strong mainstay in her fight against depression , and he has just after hearing her confession , and bringing her Holy Communion , given her some lovely new Rosaty beads .
Praise God that she is recovering well and is with us again . Natalie
Heavenly Father , please bless our dear friend Lorraine , and pour Your Healing Grace upon her , protect her from all harm and lift her from depression , and bring her healing and peace and happiness . Lord God , please help Lorraine know that she is not alone , that we her friends are here to support and pray for her and show her our friendship , and we ask You to surround her with Your Holy Angels . Amen
Lord, look upon Lorraine with eyes of mercy, may your healing hand rest upon her, may your life giving powers flow into every cell of her body and into the depths of her
soul , cleansing, purifying, restoring her to wholeness and strength . Amen.
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember , O most gracious Virgin Mary ,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection ,
implored your help , or sought your intercession , was left unaided .
Inspired by this confidence , I fly unto you , O Virgin of virgins , my Mother .
To you do I come , before you I stand , sinful and sorrowful .
O Mother of the Word Incarnate , despise not my petitions ,
but in your mercy , hear and answer me .
Amen.
