When the saints suffered,
they allowed that suffering to bring them closer to Christ on the cross.
They became Christ-like, even, through each pain and affliction they
suffered from. Instead of becoming selfish because of their pain and
suffering, they became even more selfless.
So today let's pray that
all cancer patients and others who suffer will become more selfless
through their suffering, like the saints.
And while we reflect on true selflessness, let's also remember to
pray for everyone else's needs and intentions during this novena.
Here are the novena prayers for today:
Dear holy servant of God, St. Peregrine, we pray today for healing.
Intercede for us! God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your prayers. Please pray for...
(Mention your intentions)
These intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for healing.
We are humbled by our
physical limitations and ailments. We are so weak and so powerless. We
are completely dependent upon God. And so, we ask that you pray for
us...
Pray for us, that we will not let sickness bring us to despair.
Pray for us, that we may persevere in hope.
Pray for us, that we will have the courage to offer up our
suffering in unity with the Cross.
Pray for us, that the loneliness of our suffering will be consoled.
Pray for us, that the fear of death will be replaced with the hope of everlasting life.
Pray for us, that our suffering will not rob us of joy.
Pray for us, that in our pain we will not become selfish but ever more selfless.
We know, St. Peregrine,
that you are a powerful intercessor because your life was completely
given to God. We know that in as much as you pray for our healing, you
are praying even more for our salvation.
A life of holiness like
yours is more important than a life free of suffering and disease. Pray
for our healing, but pray even more that we might come as close to Our
Lord as you are.
All Glory be to the Father
and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is
now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
