Praying for the Holy Father John Paul II
Pope John Paul II appears at the window of Rome's Gemelli hospital February 27, 2005, where he is recovering from surgery to his throat. Pope John Paul missed his weekly blessing for the first time in his 26-year pontificate on Sunday, but speaking through an aide, thanked the world for its concern over his health and asked the faithful to pray for him.
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal your servant, John Paul. Touch his soul with Your compassion for others. Touch his heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch his mind with Your wisdom, that his mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring him health in body and spirit that he may serve You with all his strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the sick and dying.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Please, feel free to place your personal prayers for the intention of the Holy Father.
