Saints LightPrayer for the Sick
A prayer for someone who is ill, at home or in hospital, asking Christ to heal as he did in the Gospels; written for this app. Pray it daily while they are sick, and ask the parish to arrange the Anointing of the Sick if the illness is serious.
The prayer
Lord Jesus, Divine Physician, you went through the towns of Galilee healing every sickness, and no one who came to you was turned away. I bring to you [name], who is sick.
Lay your healing hand on them. Ease their pain, calm their fears, and give strength to those who care for them. Guide the doctors and nurses who treat them. If it is your will, restore them to health; and in all things, keep them close to your Sacred Heart and give them peace.
Mary, Health of the Sick, pray for them. Amen.
Pray it this week
Pray this every day this week for one sick person, and send them a short message to say you are praying.
