Prayers for Deacon Jeff

Our dear deacon was diagnosed with cancer just a couple weeks ago. His prognosis is not good, as all indications are the cancer has spread rapidly throughout his body. Our parish is in prayer overdrive for the deacon. A Holy Hour with Exposition and Benediction is scheduled for this evening and our pastor has written the following special intercessory prayer:

Almighty God our Father,

We pray that through the intercession

of Bishop John Carroll, special patron of

Sacred Heart Parish by his election here

as the first bishop of our country, and by

Your loving providence, You might grant

physical healing to (name).

We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ,

Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You

and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

One Our Father

One Hail Mary

One Glory Be

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us (3 times)
