Short Catholic Prayer For Healing

If you have a friend or loved one who is struggling with an illness, these prayers can help them heal.

Short Catholic Prayer For Healing

Prayer for healing is very important. You may want to be healed from a sickness or injury, or you may want someone else to be healed. There are many prayers in the Bible and catholic church that can help you with your needs. For example, in the Book of Acts we read about how Peter was sick and asked Jesus to heal him (Acts 3:1-10). Also, one time Jesus told two blind men that “their eyes were opened” when he touched them on their eyes and then gave them some clay and told them to go wash themselves in it (John 9:1-12).

Another example of this is when Paul was bitten by a poisonous snake but didn’t die because he prayed God would save him from death (Acts 28). Although there are many other examples throughout history where people have been healed through faith in God’s power; these three examples show us how important prayer can be when asking for healing.

There are several brands available including Sacred Oils, who sells anointing oils for $8-$12 per bottle (depending on size).
