Martha Martinez: National Week of Prayer for Healing of AIDS

Hear us as we cry out to you
for our relatives who suffer for HIV & AIDS

We ask that you hear their prayers,
relieve their suffering and open their hearts to the healing you so freely give

We ask for the strength, guidance and wisdom to walk this path in a sacred way

Let our choices be made from the wisdom
you have taught us and not fear

Let our decisions be ones that lead us
to a balanced healthy life

Open the hearts of the people to nurture
our relatives who suffer and through their actions let it be demonstrated..... we are never alone.
