Help me Jesus

I am growing old

Help me Jesus, I am growing old. I am slower than I used to be. My memory is not as good as it was.
The disabilities and irritations of old age come upon me. I find myself telling the same old stories.
Loved ones and friends pass on across the frontier of this life and the next.
Lord God, I dare to ask if in prayer I may keep in touch with them and they with me.
May your beloved Son, who brings love to us, take our love to them,
for He still spans this world of creation and the world of full life.

I have cancer

Help me Jesus. I have cancer.
Not knowing what lies ahead worries me.
But You are my strength and are always with me.
So I will not be afraid, but will love and trust You always.

Help me Jesus... I am sick and afraid of dying

Lord, I know that there is a time to be born and a time to die.
I also believe that my own death can't be far away.
All that I ask is that You are with me in my final moments.
Jesus I trust in your love and mercy to bring me safely to your home.

The ill should pray to find "the grace to accept, without fear or bitterness, to leave this world at the hour chosen by God."
(Pope Benedict XVI)
