The Assumption of Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Almighty God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us
free in Christ Jesus.
We praise you and bless you
for the gift of religious liberty,
The foundation of human
rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom
to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have
the courage to defend them,
For ourselves and for all those who live
in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of
Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
And in the name of your Son,
our Lord, Jesus Christ,
In the unity of the HolySpirit,
With whom you live and reign,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Healing Prayer

Heavenly Father

I call on You right now in a special way.
It is through your power that I was created.
Every breath I take, every morning I wake,
and every moment of every hour,
I live under Your powers.

Father, I ask You now to touch me with that same power:
For if You created me from nothing,
You can certainly recreate me.
Fill me with the healing power of Your Spirit.
Cast out anything that should not be in me.
Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells.
Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas.
Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

Let the warmth of Your healing love pass through my body
to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will
function the way You created it to function.

And Father, restore me to full health
in mind, body and spirit,
so I may serve You
the rest of my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Father Larry J. Hess
