Prayer Request from Deborah Shippen: Childhood Friend of Grace Shippen dying.

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

Dear Michael and Teri,

We just received the sad news that Kirke Padget only has a day or two to live.  He was always a very kind and faith-filled boy.  He fought a long battle with childhood leukemia but managed to graduate from high school in 2018.  Please pray for the Padget family, the community of the Blessed Sacrament Parish (Wichita, Kansas) and for the safety of those traveling in snowy weather, to St. Louis, to say good-bye.

Thank you and God Bless you.

Deborah Shippen

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.

Prayer for Healing

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

PRAYER FOR MIRACLES & HEALING

Heavenly Father, I trust in Your great love for me and all Your people. I ask You to unleash a wave of miracles and healing throughout Your church through the prayers of Your people. Touch the sick and the suffering, and restore them to wholeness and well-being. Lord Jesus, I ask for the grace to pray with expectant faith for my brothers and sisters who are hurting and in need of Your healing touch. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see the kingdom of God all around me. Help me to recognize Your presence and Your work in the people I meet, and to be responsive to people I encounter that are in need of prayer.  In the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
