Prayers for Franciscan University Student Dying of Leukemia

Diem · #1 Feb 23, '12, 9:13 am

I received the following link this morning and was asked to keep Neal in my prayers so I'm passing the request on and asking for your prayers as well. Neal is a remarkable young man who is very involved in the pro-life movement. He is dying of Leukemia. Here is a short article about him.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers:

Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servant Neal

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.

Novena Prayer to Saint Michael of the Saints
Trinitarian Mystic and Cancer Patron

We praise you, Most Holy Trinity, for having sent us Saint Michael of the Saints, to be our friend and intercessor in the fight against cancer.

Grant us, we pray, a humble faith that we may follow in his holy footsteps and believe without doubt in your generous gift of healing.

With humble and childlike trust, we ask your Divine help through Saint Michael of the Saints in this urgent necessity.

May this gift of bodily health bring us peace and joy which are but a foretaste of heaven, and may we be counted one day among your saints in glory.

Father, your world is ill with cancer and frightened. We pray you ease the suffering of those afflicted, give loving hands to those who care for them, and light the way for those who seek its cure.

Merciful Father, extend your healing hand so that we may cry out, A cure at last!

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Prayer for Cancer Patients
Most Holy Trinity, You who gave us Saint Michael of the Saints as trusted friend and intercessor, and as patron of those afflicted with cancer, look with kindness on your servants who this day invoke his name.

Through his intercession, comfort those in distress, confirm those in doubt. Satisfy their spiritual needs from the treasury of your grace.

Remember all those who call on your help, but be especially solicitous of Neal. Restore health to this person and to all those who are sick.

Sanctify those who endure pain with Christlike acceptance and grant to all of us a just reward in the life of glory to come.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

You inspired Catherine McAuley
To serve Your Son
By responding to the needs of her time.

And restore Neal to full health.

Through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
