Opening Prayer
Pray this same prayer each day after the day's meditation.
Holy Walburga, you dwell in the glory of heaven, gazing upon the face of the Triune God in the company of all the saints. I turn to you, full of trust in the words of Jesus Christ, "Amen, amen I say to you, the one who has faith in me will do the works I do, and greater far than these."
God has granted you the gift of healing; help me in my need, which I bring before you.
Pause here for your intention.
Beg God to grant healing, consolation and strength to me and to all those for whom I pray. Implore Him to let me recognize His love and know His presence, whatever He may have in store for me. Ask this for me through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns in the unity of the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
