PRAYER TO SEND OUT THE EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS TO THE SICK AND HOUSEBOUND
Priest: Almighty and loving Father, as we have received your Son in this Holy
Eucharist, we ask you to hear our prayer for our brothers and sisters:
All: Give your healing, Lord, to those who are sick and housebound.
May those who take the Body of Christ to them also be a loving sign of our
prayers and thoughts.
Keep us united with them in all their sufferings so that we will grow together
as one community with the presence of Christ among us.
Please Pray For
