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.
