The Rosary, prayed for those who are sick

Dear Jesus, who during your earthly ministry did heal the sick, we bring you all those who are ill, frail, undergoing treatment and awaiting tests from our parish and among our families.
Bring them healing and peace, alleviate their fears and anxiety, help them to carry their burdens with patient faith and grant them the fullness of life.
May Mary your mother pray for us.
May your saints, George and Boniface, pray for us.
May all holy men and women pray for us.
Amen.


I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.


Luminous Mysteries

1. The Baptism of the Lord

Jesus is baptised in the River Jordan by his cousin, John, and the Scripture tells us that the heavens are torn open. Pray for all those who are sick, that the blessings and healing of heaven might descend upon them to give them health, strength in the face of suffering, and peace.

2. The Wedding at Cana

Jesus attends a wedding at Cana in Galilee and there turns gallons of water to be used for ritual ablution into the very best wine. Pray that those who are sick, disabled, frail through old age, undergoing hospital treatments, or anxiously awaiting medical tests, may still find joy and happiness in the midst of their suffering and uncertainty.

3. The Proclamation of the Kingdom

Jesus' proclamation of God's kingdom is made in varied ways: in preaching and teaching, in miracles, in his example of life. Pray that those who are sick will understand their experience as a possible proclamation of God's loving presence even in the midst of suffering.

4. The Transfiguration

Jesus takes Simon Peter, James, and John up a high mountain to pray and there, in their sight, he was transfigured. Pray that those who are sick will be comforted and supported by the prayers of others and in particular the prayer of Christ's Church.

5. The Institution of the Eucharist

On the night before he dies, that is the night of his betrayal and abandonment by friends and the beginning of his passion, Jesus gives his disciples the gift of the Eucharist. This expression of closeness to his people despite their lack of understanding and courage is the greatest gift the Church possesses. Pray that all those who are sick will come to know just how close Jesus is to them.


Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.


Let us pray.

O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of  the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the sick

You alone, O Christ, can promptly save Your creation: we implore You, come to visit Your servant N… who is sick. Deliver them from suffering and excesses of pain. Raise them up so that they may sing and glorify You without end, through the prayers of the Mother of God, and all the Saints, O You the one true friend of Men. O Saviour, You made Peter's mother-in-law rise from her sickbed while she was consumed by a burning fever, and You made the paralysed man carry his mat. In your infinite compassion, come now to visit and heal the sick, afflicted in their flesh. For nothing is impossible to You, You alone who carries the suffering and sickness of all the world in Your great mercy.
