Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, like a watchful shepherd you care for us,
and provide us with all that we need. You shower us with your love
and send people into our lives to help care for us, especially in
time of sickness or pain.
I pray for all who suffer because of illness or advanced age.
I especially pray for Gabriels.
In the midst of our pain and weakness, strengthen our faith that we
may be filled with hope in you.
In the midst of our frustrations and discouragement, give us patience
that we may accept our own limitations.
In the midst of our loneliness and fears, help us to know we are not
alone, that you walk with us each moment of our lives.
Be with us, Lord, in our time of need. Heal us in body, soul and
spirit that we may rejoice in your grace and blessings in this world,
and come to enjoy the fullness of your presence in the life to come.
We make this prayer in your name, for you are our
Risen Lord, Jesus.
Amen
