A Service of Healing and Holy Communion
Grace and peace be with you, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
O God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

And in your light we see light.

Heal us, and make us whole.
Let us pray.
O Lord our God, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as
we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
