Prayers for the Sick
Troparion, Tone 4
O Christ, Who alone art our Defender, visit from on high Thy suffering servant , and deliver him from sickness and grievous pains. Raise him up that he may sing to Thee and praise Thee without ceasing, through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Thou Who alone lovest mankind.
Kontakion, Tone 2
As once Thou didst raise up, O Savior, the mother-in-law of Peter and the paralytic carried on his bed, so now, O Merciful One, visit and heal Thy suffering servant , who lies on the bed of sickness and is smitten with a mortal wound; for Thou alone hast borne the infirmities and diseases of our race, and all things are possible to Thee, O Most Merciful One.
Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity, the Theotokos, the Saints and Angels
O Most Merciful God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, worshipped and glorified in the Undivided Trinity, look with compassion upon Thy servant , held fast by sickness. Forgive him all his transgressions; grant him healing from sickness; restore to him health and bodily strength; grant him a long and blessed life, Thy worldly and heavenly blessings, that he, together with us, may offer grateful prayers to Thee, our All-generous God and Creator. Most Holy Theotokos, by thine all-powerful intercession help me to entreat Thy Son, my God, for the healing of , servant of God. All ye saints and angels of the Lord, pray to God for His ailing servant . Amen.
Prayer 1 to the Lord
O Master Almighty, Holy King, Who dost chastise yet dost not slay, Who dost sustain those who fall and raise up those cast down, Who dost heal the bodily afflictions of mankind, we pray to Thee, our God: visit with Thy mercy Thy servant who is infirm; forgive him every transgression, voluntary and involuntary. Yea, O Lord, send down from heaven Thy healing power; touch his body, quench the fever, still the suffering, and heal every infirmity lurking within him. Be the physician of Thy servant and raise him from the bed of sickness and from the couch of affliction, whole and perfect; grant him to Thy Church, well-pleasing and doing Thy will. For it is Thine to show mercy and to save us, O our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer 2 to the Lord
O Master Almighty, Physician of our souls and bodies, Who dost humble and exalt, Who dost chastise and heal again: visit Thy servant who is infirm, and heal him, raising him from his bed of sickness. Rebuke the spirit of infirmity, remove from him every wound, every disease, and if there be in him any sin or iniquity, remit, forgive, and pardon it for the sake of Thy love for mankind. Yea, O Lord, have compassion on Thy creature in Christ Jesus our Lord, with Whom Thou art blessed, together with Thy Most Holy, Good, and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
