Prayer for the Disabled

King Father! We are all Your children, whom You love. Because of Adam’s sin You have allowed us all to be disabled or limited in one way or another. Some of us have physical impairments, some have emotional disorders or limitations, some suffer from an inability to learn successfully, and others from intellectual or mental disability, etc. Your Son came into the world to redeem us from Adam’s sin and to help us overcome infirmities, ailments, or diseases that are the result of original and all subsequent sins, transgressions and violations.

Help us to accept these limitations and disabilities and to unite the pain and suffering caused by them with the death of Your Son on the cross, especially in the Holy Liturgy’s sacrifice. Receive these sufferings as a prayer for the salvation and healing of the world and for the honor of human life and family. Grant us the grace to turn our limitation and disability into an opportunity to draw nearer to You and, ultimately, to ask, trust, hope, and gratefully receive Your grace, strengthening, and healing.

Grant us the humility to realize that each of us has weaknesses, and grant us the grace to return to You through the power of our weakness. May the manifestation of Your power in our weakness bring You greater honor and glory. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus, in unity with the Holy Spirit—one God forever and ever. Amen.
