"Love your families. Teach them the dignity of life; teach them the ways of harmony and peace; teach them the value of faith and prayer and goodness!... Help transform the world around you by giving the best of yourselves in the service of others and your country."
Pope John Paul II,
Homily, Amman Stadium
Jordan, March 21, 2000
As we prepare ourselves to receive God's goodness and mercy, let us sing praise to Him for He alone is the source of all goodness. God is Good , all the time! All the time, God is Good!
Day 6 (October 19, Wednesday) GOODNESS
Dear Lord, throughout my lifetime, I have been taught to be good and be a blessing to others. To be good is not just to follow the rules, but more so to follow You and obey your commandments. May I bring harmony and peace and spread Your good news to my family, my friends, my community and my country. Blessed John Paull II has made Your goodness known throughout the world by welcoming and embracing everyone who wants to know You, regardless of age, sex or creed. Through Your goodness and mercy, we will receive the healing that we seek through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.
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.
