NOVENA PRAYER FOR THE HEALING OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE (DAY 2)

Day 2 (October 15, Saturday) PEACE

On this second day of the Novena for Healing of Parkinson's disease, we focus on the second gift of the Holy Spirit, which is PEACE.  Let us put ourselves in the presence of God as we join others in singing this praise song:

God, our Father, grant us the peace that we seek when confronted with different obstacles as we make our move everyday. May Your hand guide us so we won't falter in our steps. May peace always reign in our hearts even if there is fear that we would fall flat on our face. We will not be anxious but will have faith that is unwavering like that of Blessed John Paul II. We will do whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and gracious in the Lord's eyes so that the God of peace will be with us always.

PRAYER FOR HEALING OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

 THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

When my legs are frozen in place,

May God the Father push me and remind me

To lift my toes up and swing my arms

That I may walk again and not be afraid.

When I feel like falling or as my posture stoops,

May Jesus Christ, God the Son, break my fall

And catch me as I move forward

With my legs braced and feet wide apart.

When my movement is slow and I hesitate,

May God the Holy Spirit enlighten my path,

Broaden my horizon and show me the way

That I will be more agile and sure in my steps and bearing.

When my hands and feet are shaking, or my chin trembles,

And my voice weakens as I speak,

May Mother Mary embrace me to calm me and assure me

That everything will be okay and I can rest in her arms and wait

Until everything is still and steady and I am in peace

As my voice grows strong and clear.

Forgive me, God the Father, for all my sins

Heal me, God the Son, from my Parkinson’s disease

Bless me, God the Holy Spirit, with wisdom and knowledge

Love me, Mother Mary, so that I can love and serve others despite my PD.

We ask all these, through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.

Amen.

Our Father…

Hail Mary…

Glory Be…

Blessed John Paul II, Pray for us.
