Prayer for Healing Loving and compassionate God, when your Son walked this earth he extended his healing hand toward the sick and cured those afflicted with every disease. We turn to you now in our need and ask you to care for those who are ill. Protect those who face surgery, and watch over those held bound by infirmity. Through the power of your healing love, free from every disease and suffering those who are beset by poor health. Guide with your wisdom all who provide care, and assist doctors, nurses, and medical workers so that they may effectively relieve suffering and bring health to all who they treat. Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion There is a beautiful tradition of making an Act of Spiritual Communion. Below is an example:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Blessed 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.

A Stewardship Moment In the second reading today, St. Paul reminds the Corinthians, “There are different gifts, but the same Spirit, there are different ministries, but the

same Lord. “ How am I using my gifts for the common good?
