Today, let us pray for all cancer patients and others who are suffering once more. Let us pray that their lives -- that all of our lives -- will glorify God alone. We do not exist for any other reason. Let us pray that we all live for our true purpose: for Him. 🙏🕊❤

With as many advances as there are in medicine and science, it's easy to look to doctors for a cure and a fix to our suffering. It's easy to depend on them. And while doctors are important, helpful, and can provide life-saving treatments, everything is ultimately in God's hands. So today let us pray that we all may come to depend more on God through our suffering. 🙏🕊❤

When the saints suffered, they allowed that suffering to bring them closer to Christ on the cross. They became Christ-like, even, through each pain and affliction they suffered from. Instead of becoming selfish because of their pain and suffering, they became even more selfless. So today let us pray that all cancer patients and others who suffer will become more selfless through their suffering, like the saints. And while we reflect on true selflessness, let us also remember to pray for everyone else's needs and intentions during this novena. 🙏🕊❤

Through the witness of the saints, we know that suffering has meaning. Many saints accepted suffering while others even asked for more of it. They did so because they were motivated by love and by a desire to join Christ in redemptive suffering - however painful and long. Let us pray today for all cancer patients and others who are suffering. Let us pray that their suffering will not rob them of joy and experiencing God's love for them right now. 🙏🕊❤
