Healing Prayers

Heavenly Father, we ask you to heal our sick. Give your power to those who minister to the sick: doctors, nurses, and all others who promote healing and human wholeness. Strengthen those who are ill. Give them hope for recovery and help them to trust in your goodness. Grant to those who live with pain, infirmity, and illness an extra portion of your sustaining love. Restore to health those who can be healed. Give peace and comfort to those for whom there is no healing. To those who are close to death, grant the grace to entrust their lives to you with confidence and to find in you their true life that never ends. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners. I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the "medicine of God" I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (mention your request), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
