NOVENA TO JESUS FOR HEALING

 

Opening Prayer each day:

​

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 
Amen.
 

Dear Jesus, we thank You for Your loving and providential care for each of us. We ask You today to bring healing to all people who are in need of it. And I especially ask in this novena strength and physical healing on this journey of recovery for Todd Liska.
 

Lord, look upon Todd with the eyes of Your mercy. May Your healing hand rest upon him. May Your life-giving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, and restoring him to wholeness and strength for the service in Your kingdom.

​

O God, You are the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and the central peace of this universe.  Grant to Todd such a consciousness of Your indwelling and surrounding presence that he may permit You to give him health, strength and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Grant also that I may grow in love for You and proclaim boldly the love of Jesus Christ to all people.

Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
