Lord, Jesus Christ, You who traveled throughout Galilee healing the sick, enabling the blind
to see and the lame to walk, bring healing to your people who need it this day. Grant relief to the
ones who suffer pain and physical torment. Give peace to those whose minds are tortured by
mental illness and anxiety. Comfort those who are alone in their suffering; may your people reach
out to them and to all the needy this day. Send your grace to the caregivers that they might be
gentle and effective agents of your loving mercy. May our suffering be joined with yours to bring
healing throughout the world? Amen
