Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
The title pretty much covers it: Prayers requested, please. I have learned much and been able to apply much from his direction, and am deeply grateful. I shall always be in his debt.

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
Praying for your spiritual director and entrusting him to Our Lord and Our Lady:
Jesus, King of Divine Mercy. We trust in You!
We take refuge under thy protection, holy Mother of God; do not despise our prayers for the spiritual director in time of his necessity, but always protect him from all dangers, O blessed and glorious Virgin. Amen.

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
a world without end.
Amen.

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

My sister passed away from lung cancer, my heart and prayers go out to them and their family.
God, give us strength to accept your Holy Will.

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
Loving God we thank You for all the graces that You have given through him.
Please continue to bless all who he guided and inspired.
Please Yourself be his own spiritual advisor as he works through his serious illness.
Please give him all the blessings that You desire him to receive, and even still, to share with others.

you successfully interceded with Him for a family's temporal need
please now intercede with your divine Son
for each person's temporal and spiritual needs.
Thank you Mother
JESUS please grant our prayer for this person

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
For your spirital director,
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

Prayers for your spiritual director & you.
Here is one of my favorite prayers from St. Ignatius,
I hope it comforts you as much as it does me.
Quote:
O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand,Your purpose, Your will
through all things.
- St. Ignatius of Loyola

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
A Prayer for Healing
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You, allow Your healing hand to heal us. Touch our souls with Your compassion for others. Touch our hearts with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch our minds with Your wisdom, that our mouths may always proclaim Your praise. Teach us to reach out to You in my need, and help us to lead others to You by our example. Most HOLY FACE OF JESUS bring us health in body and spirit that we may serve You with all our strength. Touch us gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Re: Spiritual director is dying of lung disease
Prayer for the Sick through the Intercession of St. Lorenzo Ruiz and Companions
Beloved San Lorenzo Ruiz and martyr companions, to you do we come for help. Help us to have the same faith and love that you had for God. We call upon you today on behalf of our ailing beloved ones. By your prayers and intercession obtain for them, not only comfort and peace for their souls, but also vigor and strength for their bodies. We place our entire confidence in you because we know that God loves you and that you care for us. We earnestly pray that our sick ones, be purified and revitalized in every cell, tissue, nerve and organ, so that the bodily limbs may function effectively again. Through your powerful intercession help our sick to receive the grace of God's miraculous compassion, so that they will be completely whole again, and thereby be able to continue serving God faithfully in this life to the best of their strength and to attain the salvation to which you arrived. Amen.
