Forever Young Wishes

“May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.”

_”Forever Young” by Bob Dylan

A Prayer For Healing

“Lord,
You invite all who are burdend to come to You.

Allow Your healing hand to heal me.

Touch my soul with Your compassion for others.

Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all.

Touch my mind with Your Wisdom, that my mouth may always
proclaim your praise.

Teach me to reach to You in my need, and help me to lead
others to You by my example.

Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in boday and spirit
that I may serve You with all my strength.

Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever.

Amen.
