For the Sanctification of Illness

Sanctify, O Lord, the sickness of your servant &N., that the 
sense of his weakness may add strength to his faith and 
seriousness to his repentance; and grant that he may live with 
you in everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.


For Health of Body and Soul

May God the Father bless you, God the Son heal you, God 
the Holy Spirit give you strength.  May God the holy and 
undivided Trinity guard your body, save your soul, and bring 
you safely to his heavenly country; where he lives and reigns 
for ever and ever.  Amen.


For Doctors and Nurses

Sanctify, O Lord, those whom you have called to the study 
and practice of the arts of healing, and to the prevention of 
disease and pain. Strengthen them by your life-giving Spirit, 
that by their ministries the health of the community may be 
promoted and your creation glorified; through Jesus Christ 
our Lord.  Amen.


Thanksgiving for a Beginning of Recovery

O Lord, your compassions never fail and your mercies are 
new every morning: We give you thanks for giving our 
brother (sister) &N. both relief from pain and hope of health 
renewed.  Continue in him, we pray, the good work you have 
begun; that he, daily increasing in bodily strength, and 
rejoicing in your goodness, may so order his life and conduct 
that he may always think and do those things that please 
you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
