Lord Jesus, Divine Physician,
please heal your servant Pope Leo XIV.
Grant him peace of mind and body, strength in his recovery,
freedom from pain and complications, and complete restoration of health.
Guide the doctors and nurses who care for him,
and surround him with the comfort of your presence.
Through your merciful love, Amen.

Lord our God, you sent your only Son
to bring peace to our world.
Through the intercession
of Blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
hear our earnest prayer;
grant that our times may be tranquil,
so that we may live in peace as one family,
united in love for one another.
Amen.

On Sunday, at Saint John the Evangelist Parish in Houck AZ, I had the privilege of giving the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion to three wonderful young people. Please pray for these amazing young disciples of Christ.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, You are our refuge and our strength. We offer You our hearts, our hopes, and our needs. Guide us, protect us, and fill us with Your peace. Amen.
