"Our soul must perform two duties. The one is that we must reverently wonder and be surprised. The other is that we must gently let go and let be." Julian of Norwich

Sweet Hour of Prayer

This blessing was shared with me by a healing touch community a couple of years ago. It is from Joyce Rupp.  I have used it often and shared it with many who are seeking healing in their lives.  Today I post it especially for my friend Craig as he readies himself for cancer surgery ths week.

Holding your hands over your own heart,
remembering the power of love within you;
receive this blessing:

--------------------

May you desire to be healed.

May what is wounded in your life
be restored to good health.

May you be receptive to the ways in which
healing needs to happen.

May you take good care of yourself.
May you extend compassion to all that hurts
within your body, mind, spirit.

May you be patient
with the time it takes to heal.

May you be aware of the wonders
of your body, mind, and spirit
and their amazing capacity to heal.

May the skills of all those
who are caring for you be used to the best
of their ability in returning you to good health.

May you be open to receive
from those who extend kindness,
care and compassion to you.

May you rest peacefully
under the sheltering wings of divine love,
trusting in God’s gracious presence.

May you find little moments of beauty
and joy to sustain you.

May you keep hope in your heart.


AMEN
