Saint Gianna Intercessory Prayer for a Mother of Ill Health

 

 Saint Gianna,
You are a mother who was faced with the painful awareness
that your health would not keep you with your children.
Your intense suffering was sustained
by the consolations you received in the Eucharist.We ask for your faithful, motherly intercession

for this mother~(name of mother).
Obtain for her the interior peace she seeks to endure her suffering.
If it be God's Holy will,
ask that she be freed of this cross of ill health
so that she may continue to radiate God's purpose in her family.
Impart a fervent desire in this mother
for a renewed devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament, the font of all graces!
Entrust to her the image of the crucified Christ,
where, laboring beneath the Cross,
His Mother gave birth to us all.
As Mother Mary remains at the foot of all crosses,
plead to Our Lady to present this request
of healing and mercy to her Son,
for the sake of His sorrowful passion,
We ask this, beloved Gianna, in humility and thanksgiving.
Join us, Saint Gianna, as we pray~
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
Jesus, Mercy!
