Prayer to Mary Most Holy «Health of the Sick»

O Virgin Mary, «Health of the sick»,
you who accompanied Jesus on the way to Calvary
and remained near the cross on which your Son died,
participating intimately in his suffering,
take our suffering and unite them with His,
so that the seeds sown during the Jubilee
continue to produce abundant fruits in the coming years.

Most tender Mother, we turn to you with confidence.
Obtain from your Son the strength to return soon,
completely restored, to our duties,
so that we be useful to our neighbour through our work.
Meanwhile stay with us at the moment of trial
and help us to repeat everyday with you our yes,
sure that God will bring out from every evil a greater goodness.

Immaculate Virgin, may the fruits of the Jubilee Year
be for us and for our dear ones
a pledge of renewed vigour in Christian life,
so that in the contemplation of the Face of the Risen Christ
we will find the abundance of the mercy of God
and the joy of a more complete union with the brethren,
the beginning of the joy without end in heaven. Amen.
