Prayer During Sickness

LORD, I accept this sickness from Thy hands, and entirely resign myself to Thy blessed will, whether it be for life or death. Not my will, but Thine be done: Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Lord, I submit to all the pains and uneasiness of this my illness; my sins have deserved infinitely more. Thou art just, O Lord, and Thy judgment is right.

Lord, I offer up to Thee all that I now suffer, or may have yet to suffer, to be united to the sufferings of my Redeemer, and sanctified by His Passion.

I adore Thee, O my God and my all, as my first beginning and last end; and I desire to pay Thee the best homage I am able, and to bow down all the powers of my soul to Thee.

Lord, I desire to praise Thee for ever, in sickness as well as in health; I desire to join my heart and voice with the whole Church of heaven and earth, in blessing Thee for ever.

I give Thee thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the mercies and blessings bestowed upon me, and Thy whole Church, through Jesus Christ Thy Son; and above all, for having loved me from all eternity, and redeemed me with His precious blood. Oh, may that blood not have been shed for me in vain!

Lord, I believe all those heavenly truths which Thou hast revealed, and which Thy holy Catholic Church believes and teaches. Thou art the sovereign Truth, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived; and Thou hast promised the Spirit of truth to guide Thy Church into all truth. In this faith I resolve, through Thy grace, both to live and die. O Lord, strengthen and increase this my faith.

O my God, all my hopes are in Thee; and through Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, and through His Passion and death, I hope for mercy, grace, and salvation from Thee. In Thee, O Lord, have I put my trust; O let me never be confounded!

O sweet Jesus, receive me into Thine arms in this day of my distress; hide me in Thy wounds, bathe my soul in Thy precious blood.

I love Thee, O my God, with my whole heart and soul, above all things; at least, I desire so to love Thee. Oh, come now and take full possession of my whole soul, and teach me to love Thee for ever!

I desire to be dissolved, and to be with Christ.

Oh, when will Thy kingdom come? O Lord, when wilt Thou perfectly reign in all hearts? When shall sin be no more?

I desire to embrace every neighbor with perfect charity for the love of Thee. I forgive from my heart all who have in any way offended or injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have in any way offended.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out mine iniquity.

Oh, who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to mine eyes, that night and day I may weep for all my sins! Oh, that I had never sinned!

I am filled with confusion when I look back upon my life; so little have I done to please Thee, O my God, and so often have I offended Thee!

I place all my confidence in Thy boundless mercy, and in the infinite merits of the sufferings and death of my divine Redeemer. O Eternal Father, I offer Thee these saving merits in full satisfaction for all my sins.

Lord, be merciful to me a sinner; sweet Jesus, Son of the living God, have mercy on me!

I commend my soul to God my Creator, Who made me out of nothing; to Jesus Christ my Saviour, Who redeemed me with His precious blood; to the Holy Ghost, Who sanctified me in baptism. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

I renounce from this moment, and for all eternity, the devil and all his works; and I abhor all his suggestions and temptations. Oh, suffer not, O Lord, this mortal enemy of my soul to have any power over me, either now or at my last hour. Let Thy holy angels defend me from all the powers of darkness.

O Heart of Jesus! full of love and compassion, comfort and console me. Help me to sanctify my sickness by patience and resignation. Lord, remember me in Thy kingdom: receive my soul into Thy embraces.

Holy Mary, pray for me.

Holy Mary, Mother of mercy, do thou defend me from the enemy, and receive me at the hour of death.

O holy angel of God, who art my guardian, stand by me and assist me.

O all ye blessed angels and saints of God, pray for me, a poor sinner.
