Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, you know how much I suffer because of my sickness. Both body and soul are affected. I do not even have the strength to pray as I should.

Nothing is able to give me any relief, even the visit and the compassion of my friends are unable to bring me comfort. My courage is beginning to fail, impatience and sadness are having their affect on my feelings of distress.

I put all my trust in you. Your compassionate heart will surely have pity on me, Merciful Mother, do not forget your Son, Jesus, if it be the will of God, to grant me the healing I need.

Loving Mother, I am confident you will obtain the grace to do whatever God asks of me.

Amen
