Enter you, body, mind and spirit,
And heal you of all that harms you,
In Jesus’ name, Amen
This prayer is said each Tuesday evening at the Service of Healing at the Abby on the Isle of Iona in Scotland. It is incredibly powerful to hear these four lines repeated over and over again as people go up for the laying on of hands or as names are offered in prayer.
When I am praying for others, I find this prayer helps me to stay focused and to release my own judgments about the situation. I find it very comforting to pray this for myself. I’ve also repeated it rhythmically while walking a labyrinth.
