Novena Prayer for Leo's Surgery

Leo's surgery is coming up in just over a week. I'd love it if you would all pray this Novena (Nine days of prayer) for him. His surgery is on March 12. Please begin the Novena on March 4 and say it every day until March 12. Thank you so much for joining us in prayer. I feel very peaceful about the whole thing so far, and I KNOW it is because so many people are holding us up in prayer. Thank you!

Novena Prayer for Leo's surgery
written by my mom (thanks Mom!)

Dear Heavenly Father,
We commend Baby Leo into your care during his cleft repair surgery. His body is your creation, O Lord. Please guide the surgeon's hand and be with all who care for him. Pour your strength and grace into the hearts of his parents and all his family and grant them your peace.
In your loving mercy, minimize Leo's pain, shorten his recovery, and heal him quickly so that his life may continue to give glory to your Holy Name.
We consecrate Leo to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to St. Joseph.
Amen

St. Madeleine, Blessed John Paul, and St. Leo the Great, please pray and intercede for him.

Love that you have the picture of him right below it so I can stare at his sweet face while I pray!

I can hardly believe that his surgery is only 2 days away.
Praying extra hard for YOU and Leo during these next few days!
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need help. I would love to bring dinner some time next week too!
