Compassionate teacher, who is gentle with us in our weakness, give us courage and humility to admit our needs and weaknesses, the sicknesses of soul and body that need healing, that we would bring those wounds to you and to your body to be cured by your love, through you who lives and reigns with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.’ – Mark 1:34
