October 5th – Day of Prayer for Cancer

Day of Prayer for Cancer

Day of Remembrance & Healing for CancerMay the Lord bless you and keep you and all those you love, especially those affected by cancer. Throughout today’s liturgies at the National Shrine of St. Jude, we will pray in a special way for all those who suffer from cancer. We invite you to join us today, and on the first Wednesday of every month, as we call upon St. Jude for the healing of cancer. Join our prayer circle of healing by posting your prayer to our Day of Prayer for Cancer wall.

 

We pray together:
God of healing mercy, in Jesus your Son you stretch out your hand in compassion, restoring the sinner, healing the sick, and lifting up those bowed down. Embrace us now in your loving care, particularly those afflicted with cancer, for whom this intention is offered. May the Spirit of Jesus bring us all health in soul and body, that with joy and thanksgiving we may praise you for your goodness, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    St. Jude, thank you for raising my prayers up to Jesus Christ our Lord and interceding on behalf of those I continue to pray for. I continue to pray for my dear friend Lin, who has survived cancer, multiple strokes and being in a coma near death. He walked into my office recently, a true miracle! I pray that his cancer does not return and that he gets to continue to share his life, faith and love with his dear wife Stephanie. I also pray for Sean who is battling brain cancer, Justus who is battling lung cancer, and a friend’s sister whose name is Angela Singh. Let them all know God’s healing touch and the peace that only God can provide. I am humbled by the miracles I have witnessed in these courageous people. Amen.

    thank you for interceding and hearing my prayers. Today I pray for my mom, and my friend victor… That their pain be taken away and that Jesus may hold their hands in the shadows of fear. I pray that we find a cure soon… And that others affected by cancer be given good service and be comforted during their journey. I pray for their family’s, to be given strength and that their faith and trust be restored in the Lord. One last prayer st. Jude, I apologize if it’s a bit selfish, but please keep my family and myself safe from matt and his family. I beg that you keep him away and not be able to cause any harm to me or anyone that I love. I know he does not have good intentions… Please shine light on whatever he is doing so that I can have some protection. I fear that he will do something bad to us. I promise to do my best in serving the lord… But please just keep him and everyone with I’ll intentions away. Make everything all things right that are wrong. Please, in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Lord for the blessings you have shared with me… Thank you sooo sooo much. You are an awesome God, you really are.
