NOVENA PRAYER FOR THE HEALING OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE (DAY 3)

Day 3 (October 16, Sunday) JOY

We are on the third day of our Novena for Healing of Parkinson's Disease. Let us sing joyfully to the Lord, Jesus, with this praise song:

Dear Jesus, Son of the living God, we rejoice because we believe that through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II, our healing is near at hand. We are joyful in our ways and our speech for we know that You will always comfort us as a mother comforts his son. We thank you for the joy that You've given us when you were born because You became like one of us. You have endured so much suffering for our sake so that we will be saved from our sins. But our mourning turned to rejoicing after you have risen from the dead.

PRAYER FOR HEALING OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

 THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

When my legs are frozen in place,

May God the Father push me and remind me

To lift my toes up and swing my arms

That I may walk again and not be afraid.

When I feel like falling or as my posture stoops,

May Jesus Christ, God the Son, break my fall

And catch me as I move forward

With my legs braced and feet wide apart.

When my movement is slow and I hesitate,

May God the Holy Spirit enlighten my path,

Broaden my horizon and show me the way

That I will be more agile and sure in my steps and bearing.

When my hands and feet are shaking, or my chin trembles,

And my voice weakens as I speak,

May Mother Mary embrace me to calm me and assure me

That everything will be okay and I can rest in her arms and wait

Until everything is still and steady and I am in peace

As my voice grows strong and clear.

Forgive me, God the Father, for all my sins

Heal me, God the Son, from my Parkinson’s disease

Bless me, God the Holy Spirit, with wisdom and knowledge

Love me, Mother Mary, so that I can love and serve others despite my PD.

We ask all these, through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.

Amen.

Our Father…

Hail Mary…

Glory Be…

Blessed John Paul II, Pray for us.

HEALING OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE THRU JOY

The start of the ---ber months herald the unofficial advent of the Christmas season in the Philippines, ours being the longest in the world. We smile when we hear Christmas songs being played in the radio or even in some department stores and shopping malls. Some even go as far us displaying Christmas decors. Christmas brings with it joy for it signifies the birthday of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. It will bring forth happiness, more so if it would provide healing of the soul and one's ailment like Parkinson's disease. That will be a great early Christmas present.

SCRIPTURES:

 "... there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create; For I create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight; I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people. No longer shall the  sound of weeping be heard there, or the sound of crying; No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not round out his full lifetime..."

                                                                         ISAIAH 65:18-20


 "As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bodies flourish like the grass;  The Lord's power shall be known to his servants, but to his enemies, his wrath."
  
                                                                         ISAIAH 66:13-14


"Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
   
                                                                        PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7


 "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus."
                                                                      1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18

PINOY PARKINSON'S DISEASE (PD) THRU GOD'S WISDOM

The first gift of the Holy Spirit is WISDOM. When the Lord asked King Solomon what he wanted to receive, here was his prayer:

Wisdom 9:4-6

 SOLOMON'S PRAYER

 "Give me Wisdom, the attendant at your throne, and reject me not from among your children; For I am your servant, the son of your handmaid, a man weak and short-lived and lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws. Indeed, though one can be perfect among the sons of men, if Wisdom, who comes from you, be not with him, he shall be held in no esteem."
      
       

What is the value of wisdom?

 Proverbs 3:13, 16-24

 "Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understnading!...Long life is in her right hand, in her left are riches and honor; Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace; She  is a tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who holds her fast. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth, established the heavens by understanding; By his knowledge the depths break open, and the clouds drop down dew. My son, let not these slip out of your sight; keep advice and counsel in view'; So will they be life to your soul, and an adornment to your neck. Then you may securely go your way; your foot will never stumble; When you lie down, you need not be afraid, when you rest, your sleep will be sweet. "

         

How can you acquire wisdom?

 Proverbs 4:11-13, 18, 20-26

 "On the way of wisdom I direct you, I lead you on straightforward paths. When you walk, your step will not be impeded, and should you run, you will not stumble. Hold fast to instruction , never let her go; keep her for she is your life....But the path of the just is like shining light, that grows in brilliance in perfect day."
 "My son, to my words be attentive, to my sayings incline your ear; Let them not slip out of your sight, keep them within your heart; For they are life to those who find them, to man's whole being they are health. with closest custody, guard your heart, for in it are the sources of life. Put away  from you dishonest talk, deceitful speech  put far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead and your glance directly forward. Survey the path for your feet, and let all your ways be sure. Turn neither to right nor to left, keep your foot far from evil."

   

       
         

Seeking wisdom from those who know will enable you to conquer your Parkinson's disease and believe that healing is possible through God. Hence, we have invited Michael Angelo Fetalvo Lobrin to be one of the resource speakers in PINOY PD THRU G-MEN.  Brother Michael Angelo, as he is fondly called, is a best selling author and widely sought-after inspirational speaker. His famous book "LAUGH WITH GOD TODAY" explained some verses in the Bible through an unconventional way. What better way to read and learn the Scriptures with humor.
