A thought of Saint Faustina

Heavenly Father, as I face this operation, I come to You with my fears and misgivings and ask You to put into my heart the needed courage to face this day with confidence in Your goodness and loving protection. May the knowledge that You do not sleep while I am in deep sleep, be an assurance to me that I need not worry nor be afraid. Calm my nerves, put my mind at ease and in Your Mercy forgive me all my sins. Give to my surgeon the wisdom and skill to do this task with ease and protection. Bless all who minister to me this day. Give to my loved ones the reassuring faith that You are with us. Calm all their anxieties during these coming hours.

Into Your Hands I entrust my healing and well being. All this I ask, Father, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
