Father, your Son accepted our sufferings

to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness.

Hear the prayers we offer for our sick

brothers and sisters.

May all who suffer pain, illness or disease

realize that they have been chosen to be saints

and know that they are joined to Christ

in his suffering for the salvation of the world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief

moment and all will be as it was before only

better, infinitely happier and forever we will all

be one together with Christ.
