Prayer for Those Who Prayed for Me
Dear Lord, holy spring of life and light of divine love, thank you for all the people who have prayed for me along the years and for those who are still praying now - for those who are near and for those who are far, for those whom I’ve met and for those whom I’ve never met -for all those without whom my path would have sunken into darkness so many times.
Thank you for bringing them in my life, for in the moments of spiritual crisis they lifted me up and gave me strength to carry on. Don’t leave any of their prayers for me unrewarded, nor any of their kind acts unpaid. Touchthem with your rich mercy and fill their life with blessings. Surround them with love and with people whoare willing to pray for them with an honest heart, just like they prayed for me.
Never leave them alone in times of trial, nor without helpin danger. Never leave them without comfort in times of suffering. Give them a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Guide them with your right hand and when the wayseems too long and too hard, carry them in your armslike a kind loving father.
Don’t let a single day pass without them being in mythoughts and prayers, without them getting a sign of love and kindness from you and from their neighbours. And no matter how far they are, don’t let me ever forget whatthey have done for me. Let me stand by their side whenever they need my help and share their sadness andjoy until the end of time.
Amen
