The Miracle Prayer

Stumbled across this prayer when I was driving to a retreat. A friend let me borrow a bunch of CDs/audio books. As I popped in the Divine Mercy Chaplet a couple cards fell out and I picked them up (yes all of this while driving) I'm a good knee driver when I need to be. jk (kind of)  As I began to pray the impromptu prayer that fell out, I started to know the words...and I realized I knew this prayer! This is the prayer we prayed at the Cancer Prayer Group I attended years ago when Mike was first diagnosed. Mike and I would also pray this prayer together each evening. We did so for over 4 years. I had not prayed this prayer in over 3 years, so hearing it again brought back a flood of memories. It's such a beautiful prayer. I'm sending it to my aunt who was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer, thought it would be good to share here too.

The Miracle Prayer

Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am, I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever.  I invite you into my life, Jesus.  I accept you as my Lord, God and Savior. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit.

Come Lord Jesus, cover me with your Precious Blood, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I love you Lord Jesus. I praise you Jesus. I thank you Jesus.  I shall follow you every day of my life.   Amen.

Mary, My Mother, Queen of Peace, St. Peregrine, the cancer saint, all the Angels and Saints, please help me.  Amen.

Say this prayer faithfully, no matter how you feel. When you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word with all your heart, Jesus will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see.

Palm Sunday

Jesus proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.
As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany 

 at the place called the Mount of Olives, 
he sent two of his disciples.
He said, “Go into the village opposite you, 
and as you enter it you will find a colt tethered 
on which no one has ever sat.
Untie it and bring it here.
And if anyone should ask you,
‘Why are you untying it?’ 
you will answer,
‘The Master has need of it.’”
So those who had been sent went off 
and found everything just as he had told them.
And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, 
“Why are you untying this colt?”
They answered,
“The Master has need of it.”

So they brought it to Jesus,
threw their cloaks over the colt, 
and helped Jesus to mount.
As he rode along,
the people were spreading their cloaks on the road; 
and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives, 
the whole multitude of his disciples
began to praise God aloud with joy
for all the mighty deeds they had seen.
They proclaimed:
“Blessed is the king who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.”

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
He said in reply, “I tell you, if they keep silent,
the stones will cry out!”

Luke 19:28-40

Nothing

Beautiful words to ponder as I enter into retreat. God be with me. Open my ears to hear, open my heart to love, open my eyes to see what you want me to see this weekend and help me to speak your truth.

I am nothing. I know nothing. I can do nothing, but God is everything and He has made Himself mine.

O Lord, from now on
let me not desire health or life
except to spend them for you and with you.
You alone know what is good for me.
Therefore do whatever
seems best to you.
Give to me or take from me.
I desire to adore equally
all that comes to me from you,
my Lord and God. Amen.
