Loving Father, I thank You for Your eternal love for me. I thank You for the gifts of Your sacraments Eucharist which feeds me, Reconciliation which renews me, and the Sacrament of the Sick which strengthens me and gives me courage. Thank You for our Church and its ministers who bring me Your gifts.
I ask You for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. I ask You too, if someone from my own family is called to serve You in this way, that they will hear and generously respond to the call. Let families throughout our Church support them in their answering You.
Lord Jesus, I unite my illness and sufferings to Your suffering and death for me on the cross. I offer all to You for my salvation and the salvation of my loved ones. AMEN
