Compassionate Healer, even from the fringes of whose cloak flows power, have mercy on us who are broken and damaged, lashing out and desperate to shield ourselves from more hurt and suffering. Bring healing to our souls and bodies, that we would find peace and justice and rest in a world that groans for redemption, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ‘And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.’ – Mark 6:56
