Pray for health and healing for Pope Francis
As we pray for health and healing for Pope Francis at this time, the following is his message from his hospital bed, ‘I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health. I accompany you from here. May God bless you and may the Virgin protect you. Thank you.’
Prayer of Repentance for Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, I come before You
with a humble heart,
acknowledging my weaknesses
and the ways I have fallen short.
Lord, I ask for Your mercy—
wash me clean and renew my spirit.
Help me to turn away from sin and walk
in the light of Your truth.
Teach me to accept Your forgiveness
and to forgive others as You have forgiven me.
May this Lent be a time of true repentance,
where I surrender my burdens
and embrace the freedom
that comes through Your grace.
Thank You for never giving up on me. Amen.
