For you:
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Let us pray.
Dear God, heavenly Father, I praise and thank you for sending ... to me. Not only is she a woman of strength and blessing now, but she has been a young woman of virtue and love with a deep tender heart those many years ago. What joy! How profound are Your marvels! What precious time you have given to us, from our youth to our adulthood! How magnificent the communion we share! Thank you, Lord, for my sister … . I know I havent been the best of spiritual companionship to her during our youth. And for this I ask not only Your but her forgiveness as well. May she know how much she is cherished. But just as we were apostles sent two by two with you present w us then, so too now, Lord, at this hour, this hour of prayer, be w us now as she prepares for surgery. In the name of Your Son, I beseech You Lord grant her heart peace & serenity. May she know your loving presence, your calming presence through her family and friends, &may she know that she is not alone. Be Lord the love of her heart, her delight, her source of consolation even during her darkest hours in life, you who are Mercy itself. I ask esp that our great common bonds w St. Dominic Savio and St. Francis Xavier, companions ... and I shared in our youth together, be our intercessors now & throughout life. Through their intercession, guide the hands of the doctors, nurses &other medical staff. As they place her under general anesthesia, may she be always aware that You are always w her, throughout her life, &that never for one moment has she been alone. May the Mother of Your Son hold her close to her Immaculate Heart so pierced. Thank you, God, for … amicus usque ad aras (companion on the journey). All this we ask in the name of Jesus your Son. Amen.
+ And may Almighty God bless you, the Father,the Son & the Holy Spirit.Amen.
