Bless the Lord, who heals all our diseases.

Let us pray

A homily may be preached or a witness to healing shared in this place

Father, we bring ourselves before you; and in accord with the revelation of your love in Jesus, we pray for ourselves, for our enemies and for those who wish us harm. We pray that being blessed by the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and so touched by your Holy Spirit, both we and they may at the last day stand before you delivered, blessed and sanctified through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Father, we give you thanks for sending your Son into the world to reconcile us to you. We thank you that in Him, we are made a new creation, whole and perfect in your sight. We pray that you will continue to reveal your love to those who do not yet know you, that we might all be healed in our spirit.

Father, we give you thanks for sending your Holy Spirit into the world to incarnate in us the presence of your Son. We pray that you will bring forth within us, in abundance and maturity, the fruit of your Holy Spirit, that our souls might know your peace, and our emotions may be healed from all works of the flesh.

Father, we give you thanks for the creative power of your love manifest in the healing of your servants, that they may be free to serve you in the manifold vocations for which you have created them and to which you have called them. We pray for your healing touch in the lives of those who suffer from any physical disease.

Father, we give you thanks for making us the Body of your Son in the world. We pray for the healing of all persons and their relationships in the Body of Christ. We pray that Holy Spirit might speak clearly to each one that we might find our place in the Body, and the world might see the manifestation of the children of God, and that we might grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ.

Father, we give you thanks for the ministry of reconciliation and forgiveness, that we might participate in bringing the whole creation to you. We pray for those who are lost in their separation from you, that they may be cleansed, reconciled and made whole in your healing love.

Father, you thank you for your promise to bring peace to those who are near, and those who are far off. We pray for the healing of the nations of the world, especially where there is war and conflict.

Father, we thank you for your promise that as we repent and turn to you, you will heal our land. We pray that you will grant us penitent hearts. We pray that you will heal the earth we have exploited, and put the love for your earth into our hearts. We pray that you will cleanse the waters we have polluted, and give us the wisdom to keep them clean. We pray that you may heal our land and make your whole creation new.

Father, we give you thanks for the gifts of medicine, doctors, nurses and hospitals, that you may minister your healing love through them. We pray that you will prosper your work through their hands, and turn their hearts to see your hand at work in their ministry to the sick.

Father, we give you thanks for the Cross of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. In Him we find the forgiveness of our Sin, and we may be cleansed from all unrighteousness. We pray that you will forgive us our sins as we come to you in penitence, and prepare us to serve you more perfectly.

The Peace of the Lord be always with you.
