[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the truth of Your Word ... that in Your hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Thank You for the life of this mother's child ... disabled but not dying. Thank You that You have graced the medical profession with alternate means of nutrition ... thank You that therapies and treatments are available to stimulate and enhance ... thank You for learned men and women who are willing to provide all of this for Terri. Bind up the broken hearts of her parents, for they have longed to make this available to her these many years.

Quicken our hearts, O God ... remind us that each time we touch the face of our dear child, Terri's parents cannot. Remind us that each time we delight in the sunshine, Terri cannot. Remind us that each time we are blessed with music, Terri is not. Remind us that each time we are blessed in church sacrament, Terri is not.

Draw her out of this prison, Merciful Father, for the prison of her disability is nothing compared to the prison consigned to her by man. May the Holy Spirit pierce the hearts of those who dismiss her as meaningless ... may they repent and relent. Break the chains that bind this innocent woman, for the Name of Jesus is stronger than all the evil forces that have gathered against her. We seek her release ... in the Name of the One who guards her life ... Amen

[Jackie-O]

Amen.
Prayers for Terri and her Mom and Dad. God bless them for their love and devotion.
