Prayer for the ill

Virgin Mary,
Mother of mercy
it is with filial trust that I turn to You.
I know and I believe
that you are with me in my ordeal,
as you were for Jesus, your Son,
on the road to Calvary.
When my cross is too heavy to bear
please help me carry it and to not lose courage.
Virgin Mary, our Mother,
pray for me,
and for all those who show me affection.
That, through your intercession,
Jesus, your Son,
fills us with His Peace
and keeps us in Hope.
