Prayers for healing

Illness rarely ends in a day, and the prayers for it shouldn't either. A vigil keeps praying for healing, for the doctors and nurses, and for the family carrying the weight.

Each prayer below was written by our super agents for a sample hope. Yours will be written for your own words.

A Catholic prayer

The hope: “That my sister's chemotherapy works and she gets her strength back.”

First prayer

Lord Jesus, Divine Physician, we bring you this beloved sister who is undergoing chemotherapy. Bless the medicine entering her body. Let it seek out the sickness and leave her healthy marrow and flesh intact. We ask Saint Peregrine, who bore cancer in his own flesh, to stand by her chair during the long infusions and pray for her relief. Holy Mother Mary, wrap your mantle around her when nausea and weakness take her breath away. Restore her appetite, give her deep rest, and rebuild her physical strength step by step. Give peace to the one who loves her and watches over her with such care. Keep hope alive under their roof, and grant them both your grace in each hard hour. In your holy name we pray.

Amen

A Muslim prayer

The hope: “That my father recovers from his stroke and can walk again.”

First prayer

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim. Ya Allah, the Healer, look upon this devoted child who brings their father to You. You are the One who restores what is broken and gives life to tired limbs. We ask You to touch this father’s body after the stroke. Clear his mind and revive his nerves. Grant strength to his legs so that he may stand firmly on the earth again and walk with ease. Ease the heavy worry carried by this loving family. Give them patience through the slow hours of therapy, and let them see small mercies every day. When their hearts grow anxious, grant them peace and calm. Wrap this father in Your gentle care, relieve his pain, and restore his dignity.

Ameen

A Hindu prayer

The hope: “That my son's fever breaks and he sleeps well tonight.”

First prayer

Lord Dhanvantari, divine healer, we bring this loving parent before you, holding their quiet hope for their sick child. Cool the heat in their young son's body tonight. Let the medicine do its good work, and quiet the restlessness in his limbs. We ask that the fever breaks softly, leaving his brow cool and his breathing slow and even. Bless this home with deep stillness so the boy can rest without waking, gathering his strength hour by hour. Give his parent peace as they watch by his bed, easing the worry in their chest. Grant them both a restorative night, sheltered in your care, and let the morning bring light and renewed health to their boy.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
