Mary’s intercession.

Gabrielle, a friend of Father Émilien Tardif

Holy Virgin Mary

Holy Virgin Mary, your Mother, the Virgin of sorrows, she who was present, standing, near the Cross, she who was the first to contemplate your holy wounds and whom you gave us as Mother. You revealed to us that you took upon yourself all our sorrows, and by your holy wounds we have been healed.

Today, Lord, we present to you in faith all the sick who have asked us for a prayer, and we ask you to relieve their illness and to restore their health to them. We ask you, for the glory of the Father in heaven, to heal the sick who will read this book. Grant that they grow in faith and in hope, and that they receive health for the glory of your Name. So that your reign may continue to spread more and more in hearts, through the signs and wonders of your love. We ask all this of you, Jesus, because you are Jesus. You are the Good Shepherd, and we are all little sheep of your flock. We are certain of your love, so that even before knowing the outcome of our prayer, in faith we say to you: Thank you, Jesus, for all that you are going to do in each one of them. Thank you for the sick whom you are now healing,

whom you are visiting through your mercy. Thank you, Jesus, for all that you are going to do through this book. We place it in your hands from this day forward, and we ask you to plunge it into your holy wounds. Cover it with your divine blood, and may, through this message, the heart of the Good Shepherd speak to the hearts of so many sick people who will read it. Glory and praise to you, Lord!
