Our Country and Our World needs us now to help one another out always for the good of all……….People around our country and our world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who care and work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day and always A PRAYER AND CANDLES LIT FOR OUR SICK AND UNWELL IN OUR COUNTRY AND OUR WORLD and help out and support our workers in evrey sphere if you can……we pray for all those who are sick, and particularly for those affected by The Corona Virus and anyone with life threatening illnesses. We also include in our prayers those marvellous family members and helpers, carers, doctors, nurses, emergency workers, gardai and first aiders and responders who care for the sick with such loving care, compassion and patience. We pray for those who experience long term pain that in their suffering they receive the medical care and support they require and deserve. We pray particularly for those who depend on govt state support for their medication that our politicians and health services treat them with sympathy, dignity, real care, assistance and understanding. We pray that we be open and caring and loving to those who are regarded as outsiders, the marginalized and those wrongly condemned by our society.
Let us Remember now in silence your own personal intentions and the intentions of those who have asked for our prayers, especially those who are unwell and in need of God’s healing help. I remember members of my own family, my friends and my neighbour’s and people from where I now live and where I grew up who are unwell or sick or worried or anxious at this time on this day and always of prayer for our sick and unwell. Merciful God, hear our voices joined with people all over the world, united in prayer for the sick and the anxious. Help all suffering people to recognise your sacred presence in the broken spaces of their lives. Send your healing Holy Spirit to all who suffer pain of physical, emotional, mental & spiritual illness. May the gift of laughter be light for their lives. Bless those whose lives are ending. Free them from fear. Surround them with the comfort and peace of your wonderful love. May we be the face of Your Son, Jesus, who said,
“Come to me all who labor and are burdened
and you will find rest for your souls,
for my yoke is easy and my burden light.”
May all who work in health care and all those who suffer
with family and loved ones who are ill
feel their burdens lightened through the intercession of our prayers.
We ask this, on the World Day of the Sick,
Through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes,
whose feast we celebrate today,
and in the name of your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.

Mary, Our Lady and the health of the sick, pray for us………..
O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfort to the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of my requests.
Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory”.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Amen.

Don’t look back in sorrow or regret.
Know deep in your heart that everything up to this point has helped to shape your life and mold you into the beautiful soul you are today.
Remember that soul growth can only come from change and hardships force us to do just that.
When you think back and wish things could have been different,
take a moment to examine the beauty around you
and remember that without your past,
you wouldn’t be where you are today.
Embrace it.
Love it.
Learn from it.
You are continuously growing.
Be grateful for all that has transpired and for the lessons and experiences that they have shown you to help you along your journey.
May you learn from your sorrows and demons.
May your heart open in greater love, compassion and forgiveness.
