Lord Jesus, I come before You carrying the weight of resentment, anger, unforgiveness, and the pain of injustice that I have held inside for far too long. You see the heaviness I carry — the wounds that still ache, the memories that still sting. Jesus, it is too much for me to bear. I cannot carry it anymore. I lay it all before Your Cross and ask You to take it from me completely — every trace of bitterness, every wound, every tear that has not yet healed. Pour Your mercy into every broken place within me. Replace anger with peace, resentment with love, and sorrow with joy. Heal me not only in spirit but also in body — let the spiritual healing flow through every part of me, bringing renewal, strength, and wholeness. I believe firmly, Lord, that You have heard me and that You have healed me. Through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Medjugorje, and the healing presence of Archangel Raphael, together with the protection and victory of Archangel Michael, I receive this grace and give You all the glory. Thank You, Jesus, for Your love that restores, redeems, and makes all things new. Amen. St. Anthony, pray for us.
