A Prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick

Our Lady, Health of the Sick,
I look to you for the comfort of a mother’s love,
I pray to you on behalf of those who are suffering
and for my own healing needs.
Mary, your love strengthens me
and brings me peace.

Our Lady, Health of the Sick,
embrace all who are emotionally and physically ill that they may return to
good health under your tender care. And please intercede for my very
special needs. (mention your needs here).
