Prayers for Healing

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Leader: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful.
Response: And enkindle in them the Fire of Your Love.
Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created.
Response: And Thou shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray: O God, who by the Light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His Consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Divine Praises
Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, True God and True Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His Most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paracleet. Blessed be the Great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy. Blessed be Her Holy and Immaculate Concepcion. Blessed be Her Glorious Assumption into Heaven. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be St. Joseph, Her Most Chaste Spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. Amen.

Repentance Prayer
Loving Father, You are the Source of all Goodness and Love and You never refuse forgiveness to those who come to You with repentant hearts. Mercifully listen to our prayer to You, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, for those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and for those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, and for ourselves, family, relatives, friends, benefactors, and all Your faithful serving You.

Look with kindness upon them and forgive them for all their sins and failures. Give them the grace to acknowledge them before You. Help them look into their lives and see the many ways they displeased You in their relationship with You, with their loved ones and friends through the sin of pride, the sin of anger, lust or weakness of the flesh, envy, greed, gluttony and sloth and for the negative consequences that resulted from them. Forgive them for their inability to be faithful to Your Commandments and bless them with humility to repent with sincere and contrite hearts. Give them the strength to fight future temptations to sin and to avoid being exposed to occasions for sin. Give them the patience and perseverance to make amends in their lives and be transformed according to Your Most Holy Will.

All these we pray in Jesus’ Mighty Name through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Holy Angels and saints. Amen.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Most Sorrowful Passion. My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds. Amen. Jesus, King of Mercy, have mercy on us. Amen.

Prayer to Take Authority
In the Holy Name of Jesus, I take authority and bind all powers and forces in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are the Lord of the entire universe and we give You glory for Your creation. In Your Name, I bind all the demonic forces that have come against us and our families and I seal all of us in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross.

Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us and our families and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy. St. Michael and our guardian angels, come and defend us and our families in the battle against all the evil ones that roam the earth.

In the Name of Jesus, I bind and command all powers and forces of evil to depart right now away from us, our homes and our lands. And we thank You, Lord Jesus, for You are a Faithful and Compassionate God. Amen.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You. O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your Love for me. O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom come. Amen.

Deliverance Prayer
In the Holy Name of Jesus of Nazareth, through His Tremendous Power as God and through His Most Powerful and Salvific name, I rebuke, repudiate, bind and cast out the spirits Satan and every unclean spirit.

I command them to go away from those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and from those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and from those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, and from ourselves, family, relatives, friends, benefactors, and all Your faithful serving You, and go to the foot of the Cross. I turn them over to Jesus, my Lord and my Savior for Him to take hold of them and dispose of them according to His Will. I pray that the Holy Spirit would enter into the empty spaces left by the spirits of Satan and every unclean spirit and fill them with the spirit of Christ’s Love, Joy and Peace, and for the Holy Spirit to remain there forever and not to allow those spirits to come back again.

I pray this in the Mighty Name of Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and all the Holy Angels and saints. Amen.

Prayer to Bind Away
In the Holy Name of Jesus, we take authority over each and every spirit that has come against those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and against those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and against those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, and against ourselves, family, relatives, friends, benefactors, and all Your faithful serving You, and we bind you away. Amen.

Healing Occult Involvement
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You for healing and forgiveness, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, and through the intercession of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, for, knowingly and unknowingly, opening their spirits to occult influences.

We place them now under the Cross of Jesus Christ and claim that nothing shall interfere with the Lord’s work being accomplished in their lives. Cover them with Your Most Precious Blood. Let Your Light surround them and put on them Your Armor of Protection to resist the devil’s tactics. Let truth be buckled around their waists and let integrity be their breastplates. Let the shield of faith put out the burning arrows of the evil one. Let Your Promise of Salvation be their helmet and Your Words from the Holy Spirit be their sword.

Lord, please show them how Satan has taken a hold of their lives. Let them renounce those ways and place them under Your Lordship. In the name of Jesus, deliver them from the seductive lure of evil in all its forms and free them from the dominion of sin over their lives. Protect them from Satan, all his works and empty promises. Forgive them, their friends, relatives and ancestors for calling upon powers that set themselves against Jesus Christ. Let them renounce all openness to occult, all false worship and all benefits from magical arts. Let them renounce every power apart from God and every form of worship that does not offer true honor of Jesus Christ.

Let them renounce the spirits of Lucifer, Satan, Satan-worship, Satanism, cannibalism, sodomy, witchcraft, witches, cannibals, vampires, grim-hackers, other blood-suckers, pride, greed, gluttony, hatred, malice, lust, envy, fear, sloth, disobedience, parricide, murder, poisoning, treachery, annihilation, elimination, destruction, terrorism, violence, infanticide, abortion, mutilation, intimidation, threats, slavery by the devil, opposition, doubt, miscommunication, misinformation, division, impersonation, harassment, sexual molestation, idolatry, blasphemy, profanity, disbelief, ridicule, and all other forms of wickedness, spirits of glass, crystal balls, mirrors, broken mirrors, voodoo dolls, lights, hammering, violent knocking and forcing open of doorknobs, kicking and slamming on doors, stomping on roofs, and other noises and riots by demons, sandstorms, lurking shadows, spirits of leeches, bees, horses, lions, fowls, black and white magic, potions and concoctions, levitation, mind-over-matter, power of positive thinking, ESP, clairvoyance, mind-reading, telepathy, hypnotism, and Satanic baptismals, sacrifices, and pacts, and those with other gods and goddesses, heroes, superheroes, and other characters, astrology, fortune-telling, horoscope, Chinese horoscope, palm, card, and tea leaf reading, feng shui, mystic beads, and all other forms of occult games, prayers, chants, rituals, costumes, symbols, and practices, including spirits of vacuum cleaners, feather dusters, floor polishers, floor mops, coconut husks, brooms, broom sticks, floor scrubbers, sponges, lint cloths, other household cleaning tools, and props, used for witchcraft, such as pictures and personal effects, and spirits of sin, vice, illness, disease, and sickness, and demons and all other unclean spirits.

In the name of Jesus, I break any curses that may be coming against them or their families and stop the transmission of those curses through their ancestries. In the name of Jesus, I bind you spirit of Satan and every unclean spirit. In the name of Jesus, I bind you spirits of pride, anger, lust, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, vices, and insolence. I bind you away from these persons now, in Jesus’ name.

Lord Jesus, graciously fill them with Your Most Holy Spirit.

Loving Father, let the cleansing, healing waters of their baptism flow back through the generations to purify them and their family lines of contamination. Thank you, Lord Jesus, we claim Your Victory on their behalf. Amen.

Prayer to Heal Ourselves of Occult Involvement
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble, sincere and repentant hearts seeking forgiveness and healing for opening our spirits to occult influences, knowingly or unknowingly, in the past.

We place ourselves now under the Cross of Jesus Christ and cover ourselves with His Precious Blood. We surround ourselves with the light of Christ and claim, in the Name of Jesus, that nothing shall interfere with the Lord’s work being accomplished in our lives. We put on God’s armor to resist the devil’s tactics. We stand our ground with truth buckled around our waists and integrity for our breastplate. We carry the shield of faith to put out the burning arrows of the evil one. We accept salvation from God to be our helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as sword.

Heavenly Father, please show us any way that Satan has taken a hold of our lives. We renounce those ways now and place them under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus, we reject the seductive lure of evil in all its forms and refuse to let sin have dominion over us. We reject Satan and all his works and empty promises. Heavenly Father, we ask forgiveness for ourselves, our friends, relatives and ancestors for calling upon powers that set themselves up against Jesus Christ. We renounce all openness to the occult, all false worship and all benefits from magical arts. We renounce every power apart from God and every form of worship that does not offer true honor of Jesus Christ.

Loving Father, let the cleansing, healing waters of our baptism flow back through the generations to purify our family lines of contamination. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for setting us free. We claim Your victory on our behalf. Amen.

Exorcism and Baptismal Vows
Original sin makes us sharers of the guilt and punishment of our first parents, who delivered themselves to the power of Satan, when they yielded to his temptation. Baptism frees us from this evil dominion. Our minds are opened to receive the light of God’s Faith; the devil is put to flight; we are joined to Jesus, the Vanquisher of Satan; we pledge ourselves to fight with Him in His warfare against the wicked one. The ceremonies of Exorcism and Baptismal Vows give vivid expression to these truths.

We pray:

“We command you, O every unclean spirit, in the name of God the Father Almighty, and in the name of Jesus Christ His Son, our Lord and Judge, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, that you depart from these creatures of God, N., whom our Lord has deigned to call to His holy Temple, in order that they may themselves become the temple of the living God and that the Holy Spirit may dwell in them. Through the same Christ our Lord, who will come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire. Amen.”

“Dost thou renounce Satan?” Sponsor: “I do renounce him.” “And all his works?” Sponsor: “I do renounce them.” “And all his pomps?” Sponsor: “I do renounce them.”

Healing of Body, Mind and Spirit
Almighty and Eternal Father, we know that there is no sickness that You cannot heal. You know all things, You can do all things and You love those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them.

We pray for the intercession of St. Bernadette Soubirous, faithful hand-maid of our Immaculate Mother and the intercession of St. Bridget of Sweden to whom Your Only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ gave the Fifteen Prayers. We also pray for the intercession of Pope John Paul II, the De La Salle Brothers and Companion Martyrs, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Mother Candida Maria de Jesus.

With faith in Your Promise that whatever we ask in prayer, You will grant us if it will be good for our souls, We, now, come before You to ask for healing of body, mind, emotions and spirit for these persons. Touch them now where they are hurting most. Only You know what kind of healing they need most right now.

Let the grace of Your Divine Love flow and spread to the different parts of their bodies reaching the inner recesses of their beings. Comfort them in their pain and anguish. Correct any malfunctioning of their body organs. Melt with Your Healing Love any abnormal growths. Arrest all further spreading of all sick cells and replace them with healthy cells.

Root out all unresolved hurts, resentments, fears and feelings of despair and frustration. Heal all painful memories and repercussions of traumatic experiences. Grant them the grace to accept their trials and sufferings as a share in Your own sufferings and offer this for the salvation of their souls and those of their families and loved ones. Forgive them for all their sins and fill them with Your Love, Peace, Joy, Kindness, and Generosity. Let them realize the deeper meaning of their sicknesses and trials and lead them closer to You as they find comfort in Your Loving Heart, in union with the Sacred Heart of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Let them find Joy and Peace amidst their suffering, and with eyes of faith, see the blessing and victory that await them. And then, dear Father, after they have been healed, may they be witnesses of Your Healing Power, may they bring glory, honor and praise to You.

Holy God, Holy Powerful God, Holy Immortal God, have mercy on us and the whole world. Amen. Holy God, Holy Powerful God, Holy Immortal God, have mercy on us and the whole world. Amen. Holy God, Holy Powerful God, Holy Immortal God, have mercy on us and the whole world. Amen.

May the Most Holy, Most Sacred, Most Adorable, Most Mysterious and Unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

Heavenly Father, let the cleansing, healing waters of Lourdes which you gave to St. Bernadette through the Immaculate Concepcion, our Beloved Mother, carry Your Divine Love to them and purify them, sanctify them, render them like unto Yourself, and wash them clean of sicknesses, illnesses and diseases, from the crown of their heads down to the soles of their feet, and to the very marrow of their bones.

Eternal Father, may You, forever, be glorified in Your creation, in Your angels, and in Your saints and martyrs. Amen.

All this we pray in the Holy and Mighty Name of Your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns in union with You and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and Your Holy Angels, saints and martyrs. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, please recall the promises that You made to St. Bridget, in particular, that You shall grant to all who make a devout and faithful remembrance of Your Most Holy Passion all that he or she asks for from God and our Blessed Mother.

St. Bernadette, pray for us. St. Bridget, pray for us. Pope John Paul II, pray for us. De La Salle Brothers and Companion Martyrs, pray for us. Mother Teresa, pray for us. Mother Candida Maria de Jesus, pray for us. St. Michael, pray for us. St. Gabriel, pray for us. St. Raphael, pray for us. St. Sealtiel, pray for us. Our Holy Archangels and Guardian Angels, pray for us. All Holy Angels, saints and martyrs, pray for us. Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us. Mother of God, pray for us. Mother of Christ, pray for us. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. Amen. Mary, our Mother, pray for us. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls. Amen.

Healing of Addictions
Lord Jesus, we come before You, trusting in Your power and great love for us. We come with expectant faith and hope that You will not forsake us in our prayer for name of persons who are in bondage, enslaved by an addiction to name of addiction and are in dire need of healing. Please enter into the hearts and souls of name of persons.

Touch all areas in their lives that need Your healing love, especially the root causes of their addiction. Heal all unresolved, traumatic experiences from their pasts, fill with Your Divine Love all deprivations and needs that were not met during their significant developmental stages. Release them from all inherited destructive patterns in their family trees and bloodlines, and from their present environments that could be influencing or encouraging their addictive behavior. Cut off all links to all the sources and causes of their addiction. Lead them by the hand to all the right people who can help them in their healing process and deliver them from their addiction.

Let Your Holy Spirit enter their bodies, minds and spirits and fill them with Your Love, Peace and Joy, let Your Spirit dwell within them to strengthen and empower them to overcome their addiction completely, totally and permanently.

In the name of the Most Blessed Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with the intercession of Mary and all the angels and saints, we claim Your victory in delivering name of persons from their addiction and surrender to You their whole lives. Amen.

Family Tree Healing
(Family Deliverance Prayer)
Loving Father, we come before You with grateful hearts praising and thanking You for having called us to pray for the healing of family trees of those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, and their relationships. We come with humble hearts to pray for their special intentions and for all the people they bring with them in spirit for vicarious healing, pleading to be set free of intergenerational bondages to sin, sicknesses and weaknesses that continue to destroy their families.

We ask you to remove whatever blocks the flow of Your Graces to their family bloodlines and keeps them away from You. Today and all the days in the future, we place their families under Your Divine Protection asking You to cover them with Your Most Precious Blood. We also ask for the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and all the angels and saints to pray for us and with us as we lift up to You all our special petitions.

Let the cleansing waters of their baptism flow back through all the roots of their family trees and bloodlines. Let the life-giving blood of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, flow through every generation, through all their parents, grandparents and ancestors, to all their children and descendants, touching, healing and making each member whole.

We ask for Your Graces and Strength to rebuke all sin and forces of evil that lead them to sin. We ask for Your Spirit of Revelation to work within them to reveal all hidden sins and sins in their family bloodlines. We beg for Your Mercy and Forgiveness as they repent for all past and present sins and those of their fathers, forefathers and ancestors.

We now place the Cross of Jesus between their families and every generation in their bloodlines and we break the transfer of all life-suppressing forces working against them, in them and through them.

We now take authority in the Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, over all familial spirits, all generational bondages and their manifestations within their lives, all hereditary defects, genetic or of blood, and all wrong inclinations and destructive patterns that may have been transmitted to them from within their family trees or within spiritual families to which they belong, including the defects within our Church that have personally affected them.

Transform them and all their family members, Lord, so that they may seek, know and follow Your Will in their lives. Strengthen them to remain faithful to You always.

In the Holy Name of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, by His Power and for His Love, we break the power of evil on their families and destroy what otherwise might be transmitted to their descendants.

We claim Your complete victory in their lives and all their family bloodlines. We claim Your total and permanent healing and deliverance of their family members and ancestors from all ancestral bondages and destructive patterns. All these we pray in Jesus’ Name through Mary and all the angels and saints. Amen.

Spiritual Healing
Heavenly Father, thank you for loving those whom we intend, intended and will intend to pray for, and those who in prayer recommend themselves, or are recommended by others, and those who cannot pray for themselves and have no one to pray for them, and for calling them to come closer to You. Thank you for the many times that You have never given up on them even if they have often strayed away from You, for the many times that You have been faithful to Your Promises despite all their unfaithfulness, sins, failures and all their weaknesses.

We now come before You with humble hearts asking for spiritual healing for them. Thank you for Your concern for their spiritual lives. Thank you for Your Healing Mercy and Your Forgiveness for all offenses in their lives and the many ways they have displeased You in thoughts, words and actions. Heal them Lord of their times of prayerlessness caused by laziness, or by giving higher priority to other activities or interests. Heal them for the times that they depended entirely on their own efforts or on others and disregarded You completely; for those times that they were blinded by self-centeredness and many other worldly concerns and turned their backs on You, those times that they easily gave in to temptations despite being aware of their consequences.

Search them, O God, and help them see the areas in their spiritual lives that need Your Healing Love and Mercy. Create in them clean hearts and let Your Spirit dwell in their hearts. Give them the grace to put You as first priority in their lives at all times and to turn away from sin or occasions and influences that lead to sin. Teach them to pray and plant in them the desire to pray as often as they can. Lift them up when their prayers seem dry or empty and they feel as though their prayers are not being heard. Strengthen them with patience and perseverance when trials and obstacles make them feel like giving up. Guide them in the right path that leads only to You. Keep them in the company of people who will lead them to holiness. And, dearest Lord, draw them near to You always and let their spirits be filled with Your Power, Love, Peace, Joy, and Healing Presence.

All these we pray these in Jesus’ Holy and Mighty Name through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and all the Holy Angels, saints and martyrs. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls. Amen.

Cleansing Prayer
Heavenly Father, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior and by the Power of the Holy Spirit, we pray that the cleansing power of the Precious Blood of Your Son come upon us right now.

Purify us and wash us clean with the Blood of Jesus from the top of our heads down to the very soles of our feet. Let His Most Precious Blood penetrate the very marrow of our bones to cleanse us from any entanglement with whatever spirit we have come in contact with during the course of our intercession. Anoint us with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and refresh our bodies, souls and spirits.

And may the sign of Your Holy Cross drive away all evil spirits from us. In the name of the Father (†) and of the Son (†) and of the Holy Spirit . Amen. (†)
