Prayer Request from Marcus: Brother-in-law, Stanton's prayer request for Claudia

This is from Marcus Jacques. Thank you so much for your prayers and may God bless you and your family, Teri & Michael (see below)

Hello Mike and Teri!

As always, thank you for your devotion to this very important ministry.  My brother-in-law, Stanton Hunton, asked that we add Claudia - wife of one his close friends/colleagues - to our Prayer Warrior petitions and intercessions.   Claudia was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer a couple of years back.  At the time, Kaiser (her healthcare provider) denied/delayed treatment.  The cancer has since spread/elevated to Stage IV.  As a last-ditch effort, they have sought alternative treatment in Mexico, costing them a boatload of money and adding stress to their young family.

Once again, reciprocal blessings to all,

Marcus

Prayer for Healing

Lord, look upon Claudia with eyes of mercy, may Your healing hand rest upon her, may Your life giving powers flow into every cell of her body and into the depths of her soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring her to wholeness and strength for service in Your Kingdom. Amen.

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.

St. Agatha Prayer

St. Agatha, woman of valor, from your own suffering we have been moved to ask your prayers for those of us who suffer from breast cancer. We place the name before you, and ask you to intercede on their behalf. From where you stand in the health of life eternal- all wounds healed, and all tears wiped away- pray for Claudia, and all of us. Pray God will give us His holy benediction of health and healing. And, we remember you were a victim of torture and that you learned, first hand, of human cruelty and inhumanity. We ask you to pray for our entire world. Ask God to enlighten us with a "genius for peace and understanding." Ask Him to send us His Spirit of Serenity, and ask Him to help us share that peace with all we meet. From what you learned from your own path of pain, ask God to give us the Grace we need to remain holy in difficulties, not allowing our anger or our bitterness to overtake us. Pray that we will be more peaceful and more charitable. And from your holy pace in our mystical body, the Church, pray that we, in our place and time will, together, create a world of justice and peace. Amen.
