Day 3, October 1

We pray for Mike's complete healing. May the treatment plan chosen for him be the most effective in destroying every cancer cell in his body - especially those in his oesophagus, lungs, and lymph nodes - and may the cancer never spread any further. We pray that he experiences no serious side effects, complications, or infections throughout his treatment, and that his body responds well to every stage of his care. We pray for all the doctors, nurses, specialists, and everyone caring for Mike. Guide their hands, minds, and hearts, and grant them wisdom, clarity, and discernment in every decision they make. May they be compassionate, kind, and attentive, and may they always choose the treatments and care that will bring Mike the best possible outcome. We ask for Your strength, peace, and protection to surround Mike as he courageously faces each step of his treatment journey. Grant him hope, comfort, and unwavering faith each day. We also pray for our family. Strengthen us, unite us in love, and help us to trust completely in Your plan, knowing that You are with us every step of the way. May Your presence give us peace, courage, and the assurance that nothing is impossible for You. With faith and hope, we place Mike completely in Your loving hands and boldly ask for his complete and total healing. Amen.

Dear holy servant of God, St. Peregrine, we pray today for healing. Intercede for us! God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your prayers. Please pray for the physical healing of Mike These intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for healing. We are humbled by our physical limitations and ailments. We are so weak and so powerless. We are completely dependent upon God. And so, we ask that you pray for us… Pray for us, that we will have the courage to offer up our suffering in unity with the Cross! We know, St. Peregrine, that you are a powerful intercessor because your life was completely given to God. We know that in as much as you pray for our healing, you are praying even more for our salvation. A life of holiness like yours is more important than a life free of suffering and disease. Pray for our healing but pray even more that we might come as close to Our Lord as you are. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O St. Pio, We come to you today knowing that you are truly a miracle worker. As one who is close to Jesus, we ask that you pray for these our intentions: the healing of Mike. Glorious, humble, and beloved Padre Pio. Teach us, we pray, humility of heart, so that we may be counted among the little ones of the Gospel to whom the Father promised to reveal the mysteries of His Kingdom. Help us to pray without ceasing, certain that God knows what we need even before we ask Him. Obtain for us the eyes of faith that will help us recognize in the poor and suffering, the very face of Jesus. Sustain us in the hour of trouble and trial and, if we fall, let us experience the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness. Grant us your tender devotion to Mary, mother of Jesus and our Mother. Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage toward the blessed Homeland, where we too, hope to arrive to contemplate forever the Glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen St. Pio, we pray the prayer you composed for Confidence and Trust in God's Mercy: O Lord, we ask for a boundless confidence and trust in Your divine mercy, and the courage to accept the crosses and sufferings which bring immense goodness to our souls and that of Your Church. Help us to love You with a pure and contrite heart, and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross, as we climb the mountain of holiness, carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory. May we receive You with great faith and love in Holy Communion and allow You to act in us as You desire for your greater glory. O Jesus, most adorable Heart and eternal fountain of Divine Love, may our prayer find favour before the Divine Majesty of Your heavenly Father. Amen. All glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. St. Padre Pio, Pray for us!

Jesus said: "Today bring to me all devout and faithful souls and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness." Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your Mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from it. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus, may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the Holy Faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless Mercy for endless ages. Amen

Heavenly Father, we call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that we were created. Every breath we take, every morning we wake, and every moment of every hour, We live under your power. Father, we ask you now to touch Mike with that same power. For if you created him from nothing, you can certainly recreate him. Fill him with the healing power of your spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in him. Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection. Let warmth of your healing love pass through his body to make new any unhealthy areas so that his body will function the way you created it to function. And Father, restore him to full health in mind and body so that he may serve you the rest of his life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
