A Prayer to Our Lady for Healing

Mary Immaculate,

You have given yourself to us as our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. You have asked us to pray with confidence, and we will receive great graces. We know your compassion, because you saw your Son suffer and die for us. In your union with his suffering you became the mother of us all.

Mary, my mother, teach me to understand my suffering as you do and to endure it in union with the suffering of Jesus. In your motherly love, calm my fears and increase my trust in God's loving care.

According to God's plan, obtain for me the healing I need. Intercede with your Son that I may have the strength I need to work for God's glory and the salvation of the world.

Amen.

Mary, health of the sick, pray for me.

A Prayer to The Little Flower

St. Therese, Child of God,

like you we are sometimes willful and make bad decisions.

We refuse to budge, even against the movement of grace. Yet, we wake up and feel the urge to do the right thing -- to allow our inner child of grace and wonder to chase dreams and pursue God.

Teach us to run through the raindrops of life to that safe and sacred place in God's heart.

As only a child can understand, empower us to pursue that call to holiness -- to understand that God is always running to embrace and meet us.

Please, don't let the tear drops of our lives dampen our enthusiasm for God, lessen the longing of our hearts, not blind us to Jesus racing toward us with open arms.

Amen.

I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ.

May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve.

For in that hope, we know God's tender mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life.

My soul longs for the fullness of life, which will be revealed to me when I am at God's right hand in heaven.

Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love.
