NOVENA PRAYER FOR THE HEALING OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE (DAY 2)

Day 2 (October 15, Saturday) PEACE


On this second day of the Novena for Healing of Parkinson's disease, we focus on the second gift of the Holy Spirit, which is PEACE.  Let us put ourselves in the presence of God as we join others in singing this praise song:

God, our Father, grant us the peace that we seek when confronted with different obstacles as we make our move everyday. May Your hand guide us so we won't falter in our steps. May peace always reign in our hearts even if there is fear that we would fall flat on our face. We will not be anxious but will have faith that is unwavering like that of Blessed John Paul II. We will do whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and gracious in the Lord's eyes so that the God of peace will be with us always.

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.

PINOY PARKINSON'S DISEASE THRU GOD'S PEACE

Peace is the second fruit of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected after 3 days, He made his appearance to the disciples.

 'On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.[Jesus] said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit..."'

                                                                                                     John 20:19-22

You stepped out of the doctor's clinic after having been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. You tell yourself: "It isn't true! How can it be? I'm still young and at the peak of my career." You're angry with everyone. You quarrel with your spouse. You yell at your kids. You become a monster in the eyes of your co-workers. You're like the INCREDIBLE HULK when angry but you can't move, become stiff, easily fall when someone cuts into your path and your hand trembles when it's not busy.

You begin to alienate yourself as your sickness progressed. Your wife ignores you. Your kids put you down. Your friends avoid your company while others stab you in the back. You have no hope for cure. But you can always count on God, the One being who can help you and heal you so you are more able to cope with your illness and make each day count with peace in your heart.

 "Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your request known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard  and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you."

                                                                                                         Philippians 4:6-9

 'Bless those who persecute [you], bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same regard for another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." Rather, " if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing, you will heap buring coals upon his head." Do  not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.
