Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, "Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart." With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Most Holy Father may Your Holy Spirit confort our elder, may they find peace inside and no fear, may they find stronger faith in your Love and Divine plane, may their family won't forget them and surround them with love.
Please be with the lonley ones, with the ones that are in material or spiritual needs, please let them feel our prayers, may our prayer bring them warmth inside.
Be with them in the hour of their death, may they not fear but abbandon to your arms with faith in Your infinite misericordy.
in Jesus Christ name
amen

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Dear Jesus, while hanging in agony upon the Cross, you requested John's love to provide care and a home for Your own beloved Mother, and in memory of this we implore You to ensure that our elderly brothers and sisters are protected and valued.

Where possible please help them to remain in their own homes and environments.
Help them with their transport, their finances, their homes, their physical, mental, and spiritual health and needs.

Please surround them with companionship and love,
and grant them interest and joy in life, whether they are in their homes or in aged communities.

Please protect them from anyone who seeks to exploit them or to deny them necessary care. Please ensure that they are treated with kindness and respect, by staff, others in the community, and their families and friends. Please give others the grace to remember and to cherish with practical love.

Please prepare their souls for eternal life, in holy witness to their families and friends.
Surround and fill our elderly sisters and brothers with Your love and light, in life and in death.

Dear Mother, please pray for them.
Their guardian angels and patron saints, please pray for them.

Lord I ask that You will inspire kindness and wise assistance for elderly people in their difficulties.
Please inspire respect and love toward them from their families and from those who encounter them, those who nurse them, and those who share their lives.

Lord I ask also that elderly persons will treat each other and their families and friends with kindness and respect.

Please prepare the elderly with love and prayer for their home in heaven.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
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

“Listen to me...you who have been carried since birth,
whom I have carried since the time you were born.
In your old age, I shall still be the same,
when your hair is grey, I shall support you.
I have already done so, I have carried you’
I shall still support and deliver you.” [Isaiah 46:3-4]
