Assurance 2

Do you say, “I don’t feel it.”?

Feeling is not the evidence or proof for you to trust. Your feeling may change like wind.

But God’s Word never, never changes.

He says:

Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:35

What Glory Is It?

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently; but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also Suffered for us, leaving us as example, that ye shall follow his steps.

Peter II 1:20-21

Confess Your Faults

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

James 5:16

Blessed Be the God and Father

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

2 Peter 1:3

Prayer in Sickness

Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, you know how much I suffer because of my sickness. Both body and soul are affected. I do not even have the strength to pray as I should.

Nothing is able to give me any relief, even the visit and the compassion of my friends are unable to bring me comfort. My courage is beginning to fail, impatience and sadness are having their affect on my feelings of distress.

I put all my trust in you. Your compassionate heart will surely have pity on me, Merciful Mother, do not forget your Son, Jesus, if it be the will of God, to grant me the healing I need.

Loving Mother, I am confident you will obtain the grace to do whatever God asks of me.

Amen

Prayer For The Sick

O Almighty and Everlasting God, the eternal salvation of those who believe, hear our prayers for Your sick servants for whom we implore Your Mercy, that with restored health they may render You thanks in Your Church.

God, at whose will the moments of our life run on.

Receive the prayers and sacrifice of your servants, for whom we beseech Your Mercy in their sickness, that, as we have feared for their peril, we may rejoice for their safety.

O God, the sole defense of human infirmity, show faith Your Power upon your sick servants, that being assisted by the help of Your Mercy, they may be found worthy to be brought back in health to Your Holy Church. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
