God of mercy, look with compassion upon all those who are now entrapped in addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, sins of the flesh, and other harmful behaviors and whom we have recommended to Thee through the intercession of St. Paul.

Mother of Mercy, obtain for us the grace never to withhold our love and understanding, and not to fail in persevering prayer, that the enslaving bonds of addiction may be broken and that full health and freedom may be restored to all for whom we pray.

Please bring people into their lives who will stand beside them, help them be accountable, and help them stay clean and free.

Mayest Thou restore their sense of self-worth, and may they find redemption and restoration in Thy Son Jesus.

Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom.

Restore to them the assurance of Thy unfailing mercy, and strengthen them in the work of recovery and restoration.
