“Mary, our mother teach us to understand suffering as you do and to endure it in union with the suffering of Jesus. In your motherly love, calm our fears and increase our trust in God’s loving care. According to God’s plan, obtain for us the healing we need. Intercede with your Son that we may have the strength we need to work for God’s glory and the salvation of the world. Amen.

Mary, health of the sick, pray for us.”
