Let us pray with today’s Gospel Reading (Luke 8:1-3):

Lord Jesus Christ,

On this Friday, we come before You with a humble and grateful heart. Today, You went from town to town proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. And some women who had experienced Your healing and mercy followed You and supported Your mission. Jesus, teach us to follow You faithfully wherever You lead us. Like those women, may we never forget the grace and mercy You have shown us. Give us a heart that is grateful, generous, and willing to serve.

Lord Jesus, when we are tired, strengthen us. When we are worried, give us peace. When we are discouraged, renew my hope. When we are blessed, teach us to share. When we are called to serve, give us a willing heart.

Lord, heal everything within us that needs Your touch. Free us from fear, resentment, pride, and anything that keeps us away from You. Bless our families, friends, and all those whom we carry in our hearts. Bring healing to the sick, comfort to those who mourn, strength to those who struggle, and hope to those who feel forgotten.

May our life, like the faithful women in the Gospel, become a testimony of Your love. Help us to use our time, talents, and resources for Your glory and for the good of others. May this Friday be filled with Your grace, peace, protection, and love. May we walk with Jesus today and every day, proclaiming His goodness through our words and actions. Amen

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.
