prayers for Dafna's friend

This is from our St Agatha choir member Dafna. Thank you for adding her request to your prayers and God bless you and your loved ones, Teri & Michael (see below)

Hi, Michael –
I am leaving his name anonymous here (he is a very private person) – but please ask the prayer warriors to pray for my dear friend, who is simultaneously having to fight cancer and MAC lung disease, unsure of which treatment to take care of first. Both diseases are threatening his life – so please ask for wisdom for him and the doctors to know how best to approach this precarious treatment, and please ask for strength and comfort for him to endure the process.
 
Thank you so much for your care and diligence in petitioning the Father on behalf of His children,
 
Dafna Zilafro

Prayer for the Sick
Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to you in this time of illness. O dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.
