Prayer of the sick

Prayer of the sick

Jesus, Son of God and Son of Man, You have experienced, what is pain and suffering. You brought relief and health to the sick. Me too, affected by the disease, I turn my eyes and heart to you. Have mercy on me, ease my suffering, give light, that I would better understand the meaning of pain and disease. Give me the strength to persevere and keep my hope alive. Direct my thoughts to the higher things and to the eternal truth, help me understand God's will. May I regain my strength and health. By you, Suffering Savior in You, I unite myself with all the suffering members of Your Mystical Body, holy church, and I offer my pains for Your glory and for our holy Church. Amen.
