healing prayer

²⁴He himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been healed.

¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

¹⁴Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

²⁰My son, pay attention to my sermons, and incline your ear to my eloquent words. ²¹Let them not recede from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. ²²For they are life to those who find them and health to all that is flesh.

¹And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to cure every sickness and every infirmity.

⁶But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.

²Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.

⁸Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

¹⁷Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages. ¹⁸They will take up serpents, and, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”

¹⁷in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”

¹⁴Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵And a prayer of faith will save the infirm, and the Lord will alleviate him. And if he has sins, these will be forgiven him.

¹⁶And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies, ¹⁷in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”

⁵But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed.

³O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.

⁸Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.

¹⁴And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us. ¹⁵And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

³⁸Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him.

⁸This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed, ⁹said with a loud voice, “Stand upright upon your feet!” And he leaped up and walked around. ¹⁰But when the crowds had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods, having taken the likenesses of men, have descended to us!”

²Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day. ³May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries. ⁴May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.

¹Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ²And he will rise up like a tender plant in his sight, and like a root from the thirsty ground. There is no beautiful or stately appearance in him. For we looked upon him, and there was no aspect, such that we would desire him. ³He is despised and the least among men, a man of sorrows who knows infirmity. And his countenance was hidden and despised. Because of this, we did not esteem him. ⁴Truly, he has taken away our weaknesses, and he himself has carried our sorrows. And we thought of him as if he were a leper, or as if he had been struck by God and humiliated. ⁵But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed. ⁶We have all gone astray like sheep; each one has turned aside to his own way. And the Lord has placed all our iniquity upon him.

¹⁴Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.

²⁶saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”

²The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands. ³Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge. ⁴There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard. ⁵Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. ⁶He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way; ⁷his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.

²Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

²And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect.
