I ask you, Lord, to unlock the chains of my guilt that stop me from believing that You want what is for my good. Help me, Lord, not to punish or accuse myself in any unhealthy way, but let me believe in Your loving mercy. Release me, Lord, from all the negative feelings that sin has left within me, all unforgivingness I’ve harboured in my heart, all bitterness I’ve’ allowed to linger, all the resentments I’ve allowed to simmer, everything that works against Your will, and stops You from healing me within. Now, Lord, I ask You for the special favour of Your healing love, through my renewed spirit give to my body the power to resist and overcome all the illness and sickness that besets me. As I sense Your goodness within me may my body feel whole, so that it may savour Your peace and goodness within the innermost centre of my being radiating to all parts of my body. As I rejoice in the presence of Your Spirit within me may Your balm, Your peace, Your calm radiate from my soul to my body, I make this request to You, Lord, with all the faith, all the hope and all the love that I can bring to this moment. May Mary, hope of all who suffer, pray for me. Amen
