Prayer by Padre Pio
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Your steadfast love and for the gift of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who came into the world to save us and set us free. We trust completely in Your power and grace, which sustain, restore, and give life.
Loving Father, we place Deacon Wentzel into Your tender care today. Touch him now with Your healing hands, for we believe that Your will is for wholeness and life—of mind, body, soul, and spirit. Cover him with the most precious Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
Cast out anything that should not be within him. Root out all unhealthy and abnormal cells. Guide the surgeons and medical team as they remove what does not belong, and lovingly rebuild and restore what has been affected. Remove all inflammation, cleanse all infection, and bring healing through the power of Christ’s precious Blood.
Let the fire of Your healing love pass through his entire body, renewing every weakened or diseased area, so that his body may function as You so beautifully created it to function. Touch also his mind and heart—granting peace, courage, and trust—reaching even the deepest places within him.
Saturate Deacon Wentzel with Your presence, love, joy, and peace. Draw him ever closer to You in this time, and surround him with the prayers and support of all who love him. Fill him anew with Your Holy Spirit, strengthen him for the days ahead, and continue to use his life as a witness that brings glory and honor to Your holy Name.
We ask all of this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St. Peregrine, Patron Saint for those with cancer
Dear holy servant of God, St. Peregrine,we pray today for healing.Intercede for us!
God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your prayers.
Please pray for the physical healing of those from our parish with cancer.
These intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for healing.
We are humbled by our physical limitations and ailments.We are so weak and so powerless.
We are completely dependent upon God.And so, we ask that you pray for us…
Pray for us, that we will not let sickness bring us to despair!
We know, St. Peregrine, that you are a powerful intercessor because your life was completely given to God.
We know that in as much as you pray for our healing, you are praying even more for our salvation.
A life of holiness like yours is more important than a life free of suffering and disease.
Pray for our healing, but pray even morethat we might come as close to Our Lord as you are.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
