My cousin has had an extraordinarily difficult time the last 5-6 years. First her brother died unexpectedly and rather mysteriously. Then about two years later, her son died from an undiagnosed congenital heart problem. He left behind a 13 yr old son, and she became his guardian at almost 60 yrs old.

Late last fall she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and seems to have been having considerable trouble adjusting to the medications. About two weeks ago she fell and broke her shoulder. They were not able to do surgery because of Parkinson’s and epilepsy, so they moved her into a rehab facility.

At this point, she should really be able to be moving on her own, but she can’t even manage to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. She fell today, and laid on the floor, yelling, until the staff came to pick her up. From what we can tell, there shouldn’t really be a reason why she’s having difficulty walking. Sadly, she seems to not have any desire or will to recover.

She lost or rejected her Christian faith long ago. Please pray for her healing, and that she turns back to our Lord. Thank you.
 
Lord, please raise this soul from the fallen trials of this temporal world, that she might journey and reach her hand to you. Lead her thus to the eternal garden of joy, where never a tear is shed. Grant her in this life a foretaste of that joy, that she might ever hope in you and be emboldened to persist. Grant her many graces for faith, hope, love, joy, temperance, and fortitude. Send angels to comfort her and to guide any medical staff working with her. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
Praying for your cousin’s health & recovery. Praying to the Holy Spirit to give her guidance & direction back to the Catholic Church.
 
St. Cathrine Laboure, pray for us. St. Ignatius, pray for us. St. Monica and St. Augustine, pray for us. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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 who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular ForeverJoy’s cousin, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Prayer for a Miracle

God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from
the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your miracle-working power to heal (ForeverJoy’s cousin. You cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind and by
speaking a simple command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk.
You sent forth your life-giving power to all those in need, including those you raised from
the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing power into ForeverJoy’s cousin’s body and give him the strength to fight his illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . 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
 
May your cousin fear the Lord’s ordinances,
laws and commandments more than her
diseases, Lord pull her out of her miserable
state and may Christ shine upon her soul!!

Holy, holy,holy, Lord God of hosts,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He
who comes in the Name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest!!
Amen.
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to her assistance.

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 who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
