PRAYER SERVICE
Plastic Surgery and The Catholic Church
By Alessi a Fedrigoni
“In the name of the Father ,
The Son,And the Holy Spirit”
We begin with the Sign of the Cross,
Dear Lord, It is hard for me to love myself for who I am. I keep thinking
that I am not worthy to walk beside you.
After all,Am I Smart enough?
Pretty enough?Thin enough?Rich enough?Will I ever be?
Have I been a good person and given
back?
Or have I been so focused on my own “faults” that I
couldn’t invest in my talents and use them to
help others?I know how to criticize
myself, Lord. I have gotten very good at it.
But I am realizing that it keeps me feeling small
I want to see the beauty within
So help me love and accept myself Like you love and
accept me.AMEN
AN ORIGINAL PRAYER- HELP ME SEE
(READ OUT TOGETHER)
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS 1:26-27
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
The Word Of the Lord

PERFECT BY PINK- (CLEAN VERSION)
Made a wrong turnOnce or twice
Dug my way outBlood and fireBad decisionsThat’s alright
Welcome to my silly life Mistreated, misplaced,
miss-understoodMiss, no way it’s all goodIt didn’t slow me down
MistakenAlways second guessing
UnderestimatedLook, I’m still around…
Pretty, pretty pleaseDon’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less thanless than perfect
Pretty, pretty pleaseIf you ever, ever feelLike you’re nothing
You are perfect to me
You’re so meanWhen you talkAbout yourselfYou are wrong
Change the voicesIn your head
Make them like youInstead
So complicatedLook how big you’ll make itFilled with so much hatred
Such a tired gameIt’s enough
I’ve done all I can think ofChased down all my demons
see you do the same
Pretty, pretty pleaseDon’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less thanless than perfect
Pretty, pretty pleaseIf you ever, ever feelLike you’re nothing
You are perfect to me
The whole world stares while I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold
beerSo cool in lying and we
tried tried triedBut we try too hard, it’s a
waste of my timeDone looking for the critics, cuz they’re
everywhereThey don’t like my genes,
they don’t get my hairStrange ourselves and we
do it all the timeWhy do we do that?Why do I do that?Why do I do that?
Ooh, pretty pretty pretty,Pretty pretty please don’t

You’re perfect to mePretty, pretty please if you
ever ever feellike you’re less than, less
than perfectPretty, pretty please if you
ever ever feellike you’re nothing
you are perfect to me
There have been times in my life when I hated myself.This is stupid of me to do because I know I have a choice here.
I know I have a choice between feeling love or hate.However, I get caught up in the mess life brings me.
I lose sight of you and your love.If I ever do this again, please give me a little common sense to
straighten me out!Show me how much greater I will be and how much greater my
life will be when I love who I am, love what I am, and love where I am in my life.
Show me all my dashed hopes, broken dreams, and crushing disappointments are not reasons to hate but are reasons to
love because you are with me all the time.When I have dashed hopes, show me the real hope of my life is
in you.Show me my hope in you is full, real, and will always come to
pass.When I have a broken dream, show me how all my dreams will come to pass millions of times over in the eternity of your love
and grace.When I have disappointments, show me how all my
disappointments will be replaced with eternal joy and happiness.
In the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives within me and touches me,
Amen
