Prayers for the Sick
Let us pray to
the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord
Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up,
Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brother
(sister) (Name), who is sick. Stretch forth Your hand that is full of
healing and health, and get him (her) up from his (her) bed, and cure him (her)
of his (her) illness. Put away from him (her) the spirit of disease and of
every malady, pain and fever to which he (she) is bound; and if he (she) has
sins and transgressions, grant to him (her) remission and forgiveness, in that
You love mankind; yea, Lord my God, pity Your creation, through the compassions
of Your Only-Begotten Son, together with Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit,
with Whom You are blessed, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Let us pray to
the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord our God, Who by word alone did heal
all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity
and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every malady and
infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to this Your servant
(Name) and cure him (her) of every sickness of which he (she) is grieved; lift
him (her) up from his (her) bed of pain, and send down upon him (her) Your
great mercy, and if it be Your Will, give to him (her) health and a complete
recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we
send up Glory: to Father, and to Son, and to Holy Spirit, both now and ever,
and to the ages of ages. Amen. Back to “The Private Readings & Prayers”
