St. Jerome will be hosting a

Healing Mass with anointing of the stick on Wed. 10/28/2020 at 8:00 AM.

Prayer to be used that day

O Jesus, You suffered and died for us.
You understand suffering.
Teach me to understand my suffering as You do.
To bear it in union with You;
To offer it with You to atone for my sins
and to bring your grace to souls in need.
Calm my fears; increase my trust.
May I gladly accept your holy will
and become more like You in trial.
If it be your will, restore me to health
so that I may work for your honor and glory
and the salvation of all men.
O Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick,
we turn to You in this time of illness.
Dearest Comforter of the troubled,
alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love
 and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands.
We place our sick under your care
and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again.
Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will
and to know that whatever You do
You do for the love of us.
Amen.
 
V. Mary, Help of the Sick,
R. Prayer for us
