A Prayer for Healing and Hope

We have been absolutely blessed with so much support, prayers, and all your unconditional love. I know this blog is meant to express and share, but there aren't enough words that will ever express our eternal gratidue and appreciation for everything that you've all done for us.

We've gotten so many prayers from you all and my dad wanted wanted to especially share this prayer that was sent to him from his Godmother Betty Quan. She has been such a great and powerful influence in his life and like many of you, she has sent a request for prayer in our names. Our Lady of Lourdes will share in Masses for Healing at the Sacred Grotto in Lourdes, France and at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Spirit Protector, who gives constant protection to me, my loved ones, and my friends
who help me. Give guidance to those who assist me with answers to my problems and give comfort to my soul.

Reveal to me what I must do tomorrow. And give strength and courage to my afflicted spirit, Make my problems disappear and restore my faith.

-Amen


Prayer of a Grateful Heart

I praise and thank you. Oh God, for the countless blessings You sent into my life.
You are with me in times of joy, and peace, as well as days of pain, sickness, and sorrow.

Through Your goodness, I can delight in good health, find happiness in family,
friendships, work and play, go trough experiences that challenge me, and learn
wisdom through people and events that lead me yo walk in Your ways.

I thank You, loving God,
for the beauty that inspires,
for the laughter that enlivens, for the kindness that encourages,
for the love that affirms and sanctifies.

Grant me share in Your grace each day, that I may so live as to be cause of
gratitude for others, serving, You without need for reward, and with a heart
grateful, faithful, and free.

-Amen
