Senator Ted Kennedy


The Gazette (Montreal)
Senator Kennedy Diagnosed






Pray For Senator Kennedy

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who

fled to your protection, implored your help

or sought your intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you,

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To you do I come; before you I stand,

sinful and sorrowful.

O mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in your mercy,

hear and answer me. Amen.




A PRAYER FOR HEALING

Lord, look upon Ted with eyes

of mercy, may Your healing

hand rest upon him, may Your

lifegiving powers flow into

every cell of his body and into

the depths of his soul,

cleansing, purifying,

restoring him to wholeness

and strength for service

in Your Kingdom.

Amen.




PRAYER FOR TRUST

O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness and
we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give Ted the sense of Your presence, Your love,
and Your strength. Help him to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry him, for, living
close to You, he shall see Your hand, Your purpose,
Your will through all things.
(By St. Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556)




PRAYER IN TIME OF

SUFFERING

Behold Ted, my beloved Jesus, weighed
down under the burden of his trials
and sufferings.

I cast myself at Your feet,
that You may renew his strength and
his courage, while I rest here in
Your Presence.

Permit him to lay down
his cross in Your Sacred Heart, for only
Your infinite goodness can sustain him;
only Your love can help him bear his cross;
only Your powerful hand can lighten its weight.

O Divine King, Jesus, whose heart is so
compassionate to the afflicted,
I wish to live in You; suffer and die in You.
During my life be to me my model and my support;
At the hour of my death, be my hope and my refuge.
Amen.


Will you please pray with us for healing for
Senator Kennedy?
