The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Let us pray.
Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come seeking your healing grace. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Psalm 107: 19-22
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress;
He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.
Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.
And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices, and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.
Matthew 5:2-10
Then Jesus began to speak, and taught them, saying:
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
‘Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
‘Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Pray for the World and the Church, particularly for God’s healing grace.

God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in or lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world, you have created.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen
