You know my wants, my troubles, and my needs.
When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a sanctuary where many sufferers received a cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.
I come to you to ask for your assistance and your maternal intercession.
Look upon me with mercy, my loving Mother, and help me attain healing in my life and in the lives of my loved ones.
Amen.

Prayer to St. Peregrine
Oh St. Peregrine,
you who have been called "The Wonder-Worker" because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you, who for so many years bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when human power could do no more.
You who were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction, ask of God and Our Lady the cure of these sick persons whom we entrust to you (names of those whom you are praying).
Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall praise God for His great goodness and mercy.
Amen.

Prayer of Healing and Hope Within Families
Lord, heal my family.
Help those in my family who are torn by misunderstandings to bond through communication and forgiveness.
Help family members who have drifted apart to reunite.
Show each of us the value of investing ourselves in our families, giving more of our time than our treasure.
Let children bring joy to our family life.
Let the elderly and the young alike share a sense of belonging.
Let us value one another for who we are -- sons and daughters of God.
Help us, God, to love one another.
Amen.

Just a Prayer
Lord,
Grant that we may hold dear the memory of your servant,

but always in hope of the eternal kingdom where you will bring us together again.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen

If I Can
If I can do some good today,
If I can serve along life's way,
If I can something helpful say,
just show me how.
If I can right a human wrong,
If I can help to make one strong,
If I can cheer with smile or song,
just show me how.
If I can aid one in distress,
If I can make a burden less,
If I can spread more happiness,
just show me how.
