Here is today's prayer:

O Lord,
In this time of need, strengthen me. You are my strength and my shield; You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew my strength.
I do not fear, for You are with me.
I am not dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are my God. I know You will strengthen me and help me; that You will uphold me with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover me, I feel the comfort of Your strength, O Lord.
Amen.

Here is today's prayer:

Jesus, Your array of miracles,
A true manifestation of Your Divinity,
Draws the admiration of searching souls.
Never let it be said, "Miracles do not exist!".
You are the living example of such actions.
Bless me with the faith to always believe,
To affirm the Supreme Power of Your miracles,
Be they of a physical or spiritual nature.
Grant me the aptitude to instantly perceive
The source of all supernatural occurrences,
So only Your Excellence shall be glorified.
Jesus, my existence is a wondrous miracle!

Amen.

Here is today's prayer:

Almighty God, and merciful Father, to whom alone belong the issues of life and death: Look down from heaven, we humbly beseech thee, with the eyes of mercy upon this child now lying upon the bed of sickness: Visit him, 0 Lord, with thy salvation; deliver him in thy good appointed time from his bodily pain, and save his soul for thy mercies' sake: That, if it shall be thy pleasure to prolong his days here on earth, he may live to thee, and be an instrument of thy glory, by serving thee faithfully, and doing good in his generation; or else receive him into those heavenly habitations, where the souls of them that sleep in the Lord Jesus enjoy perpetual rest and felicity. Grant this, 0 Lord, for thy mercies' sake, in the same thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Amen.

Here is today's prayer:

O heavenly Father,
Almighty God,
we humbly beseech Thee
to bless and sanctify this house
and all who dwell therein
and everything else in it,
and do Thou vouchsafe to fill it
with all good things;
grant to them, O Lord,
the abundance of heavenly blessings
and from the richness of the earth
every substance necessary for life,
and finally direct their desires
to the fruits of Thy mercy.
At our entrance, therefore,
deign to bless and sanctify this house
as Thou didst deign to bless the house
of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob;
and may the angels of Thy light,
dwelling within the walk of this house,
protect it
and those who dwell therein.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Here is today's prayer:

O Holy Spirit, You are the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. You are the Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to Them in all things. I adore You and love You with all my heart. Teach me to know and to seek God, by whom and for whom I was created. Fill my heart with a holy fear and a great love for Him. Give me compunction and patience, and do not let me fall into sin.

Increase faith, hope, and charity in me and bring forth in me all the virtues proper to my state of life. Help me to grow in the four cardinal virtues, Your seven gifts, and Your twelve fruits.

Make me a faithful follower of Jesus, an obedient child of the Church, and a help to my neighbor. Give me the grace to keep the commandments and to receive the sacraments worthily. Raise me to holiness in the state of life to which You have called me, and lead me through a happy death to everlasting life. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen

Prayer for a Carer

Now I raise me up from sleep,
I thank the Lord who did me keep,
All through the night; and to Him pray
That He may keep me through the day.
All which for Jesus' sake, I say. Amen.
