Yours are the hands full of experience and skill.
Yours are the hands reaching out with compassion,
Taking time to show care, swiftly taking action.
Yours are the hands gently touching your patients.
You touch families, too.
Yours are the hands that show you care.
You lift the hearts of those who suffer.
Your hands celebrate the joy of healing.
Your hands bless all they touch with the spirit of compassion,
Thank you for sharing your abundance and gifts,
For touching lives and lifting spirits.
Blessings and thanks for the many works of your hands.
May your hands bring healing to all those you touch.
To anoint, get a small amount of oil on your thumb and make a small sign of the cross in the palm of the other person's hand. Each person first receives anointing on the palm of their hand and then turns to the person next to them and anoints their hand with these words:
"May God bless your hands for healing."
Almighty God and Creator,
You have chosen us as your own
And you give us new life in Christ.
In darkness and in light,
In trouble and in joy,
Help us to trust your love,
To serve your purpose,
And to praise your name.
Fill us with your Holy Spirit,
That peace may fill our hearts
As we live through doubt and change.
Enable us to walk in newness of life,
And fill us with your overflowing love.
Amen.
Wondrous God,
You have demonstrated your gracious power and love through all time.
We confess that we tend to settle for things as they are, rather than work toward making them new. Grant us beginners' minds to play with this new day that has dawned. Help us to live as if we are the creation of a new heaven and earth where everyone is loved as we all have been loved by you. With beginners' minds, fresh and open, we can see countless ways to explore the promise these hours hold as a gift from you.
May we approach the tasks and unknown challenges that await us as if it were the first time. Grace us with your insight as we use this time to explore new ways to live this day.
Amen.
O Holy Spirit, we thank you for the advancements that have led to improving the health of so many. We beg you to inspire new breakthroughs in overcoming the coronavirus and all serious flu viruses. Protect, we pray, health care professionals from the illnesses they are treating, and make them instruments of your healing. Amen.
Loving God, on this day we remember healthcare workers here in our own facilities and everywhere.
We pledge our prayerful support to all who give of themselves daily in the healing ministry of Jesus. As they work to cure, speak to soothe, and touch to heal in the power of the Holy Spirit, may they be renewed in their commitment of service to the healthcare ministry. Lay your gentle hand upon each of them as they touch others with your presence. We pray in your holy name. Amen.
