Prayer for Healing
Dear God, we commit to you those in our families who have fallen sick. We believe that you are our Healer, our Great Physician. May You be the comfort of our family members who are physically in pain right now. Touch them with Your Healing Hands, Lord. Send forth your Word and heal their diseases. Let Your healing power flow through every cell of their bodies.
Loving Father, we also ask that you heal the members of our families who are hurting emotionally. Their affliction is not physical, but we know that they are also in pain. Give them comfort as well, God. Give them the peace that transcends understanding. Heal their hearts, Lord, which may be full of anger, hatred, strife, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Clear their minds of any doubt, anxiety, or depression. Renew in them a peaceful spirit, Lord. Amen.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion
Jesus, really present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar, since I cannot now receive thee under the sacramental veil, I beseech thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate Heart of thy most Holy Mother, and to abide with me, thou in me, and I in thee, in time and in eternity. Amen.
Prayers of Faith
Dear Lord, we come before You confident that You know our needs,
And that You are present with us this very moment.
You know our fears, confusion, loneliness and pain.
You know what we worry about and what keeps us up at night.
But although many things in life don’t make sense to us, Lord,
We know for sure that You are always with us and will never leave us.
Our faith teaches us that when we are in pain of any kind You are closest to us.
Please give us, Lord, the firm belief that all things fit into Your divine plan,
And that everything that happens really does happen for a reason.
May Your own prayer of trust and surrender to the Father always be ours:
“Into Your hands I surrender my spirit.”
We rest in this prayer, Lord, and pray it in Your holy name. Amen.

Prayer During A Health Crisis
Compassionate and Loving Father,
In the face of confusion and concern impart to us the calm of your presence.
In You allow us to find hope and healing.
Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.
Be with those who lead and give them Your Spirit of wisdom.
Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.
Wrap your arms around our world and hold us in your love.
Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.
We ask this in Your Name. Amen.
