Lord Jesus, there is no sickness as painful as loneliness, the first thing Your eyes deemed as no good. Today there are many people who are lonely and sad. Though they might have many material comforts, they struggle because of the pain of loneliness. Send angels in the form of people around them, who would be there for these lonely ones. May they experience the joy and security of having around them, someone who genuinely cares for them. Amen
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are newly married. Jesus, as these men and women step into a new chapter of their lives, we pray that Your grace will cover them, Your love strengthen them. May they learn to love, forgive and bless each other more – as years go by. Bless them to grow old together. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are admitted in hospitals. Jesus, only You can heal them with Your special touch. We raise their friends, families and carers into Your mighty hands. We specially pray for those who have undergone surgeries and are recuperating. May their pain be lessened and their healing quickened. Bless and comfort them, Lord. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are addicted to alcohol. Jesus, only You can heal these men and women who are caught in the web of intoxication. We pray that our youth especially, are protected from falling into this temptation. A special prayer for the spouses, parents and children of alcoholics. May our homes and organisations be places where individuals can celebrate without drinking. Heal the addicts. Amen.
Lord Jesus, on this day we specially lift unto You those who are caring for the ill – doctors, nurses and full time carers. Jesus, may they see You in the ones they are treating. Let medicine not become a business, but the biggest channel of Your divine love. May Your mercy and grace shine through these people, may the sick see You and sense Your blessing, peace and touch from these carers, when the suffering gets unbearable. A special prayer that these professions are never abused. Amen.
