Prayers for the Sick
Prayer for healing through the intercession of
St Genesius
Lord Jesus,
you took pity on the blind Bartimaeus
and healed him;
you raised Lazarus from the dead
and freed Mary Magdalen from seven
devils to count her among your disciples.

You made the blind see, the deaf hear,
the dumb speak, the lame walk,
you cleansed lepers and cast out demons.
You preached the Good News to the poor
and bless those who are faithful to you.

Through the intercession of your
faithful martyr, Genesius,
grant your healing and consolation to the sick.
Give them the strength to carry their Cross
in union with you.
(We remember in particular _________.)

Help us to remain faithful to you in health
and in suffering, conformed to your Cross;
open our hearts to your will
so your grace may transform our lives.


Prayer to St Genesius
Saint Genesius, listen to the prayers of those who invoke you. You are a witness to the grace and the power of the love of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and as you laid down your life for his sake, you opened your heart to sing of his mercy for all generations to hear. Pray for those who are sick and for all who are in need (mention your intention here); intercede, dear friend, that like you they may find their strength, joy and consolation in the Heart of our Crucified Saviour. Amen.


Act of Offering
Lord Jesus Christ, my Crucified and Risen Saviour, for love of you, and desiring to unite myself more closely with you, I offer you my life, works, joys and sufferings to be one with you on the cross and in the humble service of our Heavenly Father.

I thank you for the many graces you have given me; for the gift of faith and for the gift of suffering, since through it, sustained by the grace of your Holy Spirit, you can form me in your image and allow it serve as the means of intercession for all those who are in need and for the sake of your Mystical Body, the Church.

Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, St Joseph, St Genesius, and all the Saints in heaven, guide and sustain your servant so I may serve you worthily and without complaint, trusting in your Sacred Heart and finding my joy in your presence. For love of you, my God, for your sake and consolation. Amen.
