Prayers for the Sick

God our Father, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brother/sister. May all who suffer pain, illness, or disease realize that they have been chosen to be saints and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father in heaven, grant (name) comfort in suffering. Give this person courage when afraid, patience when afflicted, hope when dejected, and when alone assurance of the prayerful support of your holy people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
