Salva Nos

A Prayer for Healing

You promised to send the Gift-Giver;
Come, Holy Spirit,
and infill us.

You promised to be with us always;
Come, Lord Jesus,
and save us.

You promised to be our Physician;
Come, Abba of light
and transform us.

Compassionate God,
we walk through deep water and fire.
Gift us with you grace;
it is sufficient.

Divine Lover,
we long for your embrace.
Heal us is body, soul, and spirit;
bring us to wholeness.

We pray in the Name of the One
who loves us unconditionally,
Jesus Christ, our Lord;
it shall be so.
