God Hears the Prayers of the Sick

We must have complete faith in the one who saves us, in this divine Doctor who was sent with the express purpose of curing us, and the more serious or hopeless our illness is the stronger our faith has to be. Friends of God, no. 193

Repeat with a firm hope: Lord, see how ill I am. Lord, you died on the Cross for love of me, come and heal me. Be full of confidence, I insist. Keep on calling out to his most loving Heart. He will cure you, just as he cured the lepers we read about in the Gospel. The Forge, no. 213

It is Jesus who speaks: "Amen I say to you: ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you." Pray. In what human venture could you have greater guarantees of success? The Way, no.96

Intention

Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, increase my faith each day in the power of prayer. Strengthen my confidence that you always heed the persistent and humble prayers of your children.
